no don't use a clear coat.. i found a video on youtube about the paint and the guys says that it has a shine by itself.. i have recently used the red on mine, i'll get a pic soon for you.. i think a couple of other guys on here have used it too..

one guy used red as the base and then used gold over the top and left Nissan writing red, looked really good.

Cheers

Im a new member and was looking for ways to spruce up the old calipers, thanks for the guide it will go to good use, going with a metallic charcoal and white for the SKYLINE, cheers mate. :D

Actually, the idea to put a clear coat on it was more to protect the paint and make it easier to wash it. I did the left side of my car and it look pretty good and shinny.

But the problem is that I use foam to apply the paint( because I found, after applying one coat, that the brush didn't work really well) so I can't put grease on my nissan logo. So Is it possible to sand it back to metal ?? I'm asking because I just read on page 5 ( I think or 4) that it take way too much time to sand it back to metal... :P

i just finished doing mine today. sprayed on the car. did fronts on satday and rears today. duplicolour blue. looks hot!! with the fronts i sanded each coat off after 20 mins or so. stuffed one of my rears cause i put too much blue on :D but not noticable from far away.

so id suggest sanding off in between coats

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
