hey just a quick tip that would save you a heap of time, instead of masking up the rotor and stuff, just apply a thin layer of grease, heaps quicker, let everthing dry well, rip a can of degreser out and a hose and your done.

i didnt bother with the top coat, the finish of the anodized paint was enough for me

as for the cracking/peeling on the track - not sure on that, they say its rated up at 500 F (approx 260 C) intermittently, so how hot do your brakes get???

A friend of mine welded his wheel nuts to the wheel studs :) They get hot.

If your pushing it for a few laps hard, id say youd breach 260 pretty quickly.

The rotors i have on my R33 have a 600 degree indicator on them.. what does that tell you lol.

If your not going to track the car then normal enamel or acrylic paint will do the job. normal automotive paint is heat resistance up to a certain temperature. i know for a fact because i painted my previous calipers with two dollar store paint and lasted. just make you use lots of clear for protection. let it cure properly.

I'm gonna give this a go. Abit of a bump yes but something like this will always be looked for. Great writeup. Ill be doing this on my R33 GTST fronts first then rears. Going to use Duplicolor metalcast orange/yellow(which ever I can find). Will post up how it goes. I cbf taking the calipers off the car. I only just done the brake lines and used some good fluid in there so ill just unbolt them and dangle them off the car.

I'm sure it been mentioned but does the clear come in a heat resistant too?

The tins I've looked at are just a colour heat resistant to 'x' amount of degrees but I haven't come across any clear yet. I'll keep looking. I'll do mine in a few weeks, just the standard black with white Nissan.

3M heat proof spray paint is rated to 650c and comes in clear also. can get from supercheap.

I done mine in the aluminium colour then clear. Done about 6 months ago and looks as good as when first done. Ill take pics if you want.

Yo GoHard! Cheers for that!! I have a grey 32 GTR, and after seeing the pics of the dude sparaying his brembos silver I was thinking about doing the same. But I also really like the black with white Nissan... To many options!!

I hear ya.

I ended up going with the silver because my car is silver. don't regret it.

To save pissing around with masking/painting the brembo, you can get off ebay for sfa some high temp brembo vinyls. not sure if they hold up but its worth 5-10 bucks?

Ive always used normal cheap spray paint for some reason heat hasn't affected em. Tho I don't do track or anything. My last car I painted em Baby blue/green and printed some Project Mu decals, glued them on lol looked sick! Peps at the car show thought they were real haha this was a Evo with bremebo brakes tho btw. Gotta love painted brakes so simple yet so affective.

Looks sweet, well done.

Have to get around to doing this some day and maybe do the ugly rust bits of the discs too.

Now you just need to change you sig pic so the calipers are on the correct side. ;)

Edited by Not a Pulsar

Thanks, definately worth the effort (not much effort actually, just a lot of waiting haha)

Is it bad to paint the rusty bits on the disc, since it's not the actual disc itself? I do want to get rid of the rust somehow, but not sure how to go about it.

Would like to make it black, match the rest of the black and gold theme i got lol.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
