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?

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
