yeah my S15 ones are chrome and I think they look great. Chapman thinks the paint job is sub-standard, but he is just fussy - they are just brakes after all!

Pics of the car in it's current state are below. (Note: the front-on pic looks like the car is on bricks, but these bricks are just supporting the front brake calipers - the car is actually on axle stands).

Sam, I agree with you - I am leaning towards gold.

However, in order to get my dishes polished (which needs to be done as the clear coat is breaking down), they will damage the silver centres paint job. Therefore the centre part need to be repainted. So I need to decide what colour to paint this - I am thinking shadow chrome - so maybe I would do the brakes the same colour? Or should I go gold? So many decisions ....

that R34 pic is hot Sam - but damn, does the owner have to lower the car!!! Looks like a 4wd :D - u could fit your fist between the tyres and guards

Don't think I'll go the pink Erica - was good for your 32 though ;) .... I actually have some metallic purple in spraypacks laying around here somewhere .... was going to paint up some of MattR's old burnt-up 32 wheels, but never got around to it. Maybe purple is the go? ;)

man why could you be bothered:P

jack my whole car up to paint my brake calipers you are crazy  wots wrong with original colour.

bet your misus walked out and went "wot the **** are you doing"

i know mine would :rofl:

actually i dont know if im correct but maybe andrew has jacked it up to check its overall underbody condition as well as replace the rims with stock rims all in the name of putting it back to stock for compliance so while he's at it decided to paint his calipers?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
