Id say maybe the Duplicolour (after reading a victoria-i think-based thread). Seems they had good results, that are still lasting without fade

I have no idea for date and location though

I know for sure that most of the domayne stores are empty because of the buy out from harvey norman.

That said the domayne carpark @ the crossroads near casula is allways empty.It's a big carpark.

There is a Kmart garden centre next door,but,there is a carpark for it.And i highly,highly doubt that there will ever be enuf cars going to kmart garden centre to fill both car parks.

There are others as well. :D

Hi Stan.

Id talk to the front desk.If you can find somwhere give them a call.

But I dont think they will be willing to give up car spaces at a busy carpark.Thats why i suggested an empty unused one like domayne.And the one at casula has a hardware house vitrually next door.And a pub 30sec drive and maccas 2min drive down the road.

talk to a supercheap, repco or autobarn if they will allow the use of their carpark. Its good promo for them because their products will be used to paint the calipers.

Good thinking monkey boy...

only problem with that is spray paint being blown around onto each others, and customers cars.

my mates just bought an empty shop in bankstown to start up his mechanic/spray painting business. he told me last week that the car lift thingeys are coming in, in a few weeks so im assuming it'll be empty till then.

ill speak to him and ask if its alright to use his shop for the day in exchange for a few sausages and a case of beer (organise a bbq??). it'd fit around 15 cars if we wor kit out right, and if its a sunday we could use the carpark??

only problem would be the fumes of everyones spraypaint... and the whole spraying onto everyones car problem.. tell me what you guys think, its not 100%.

noice idea!

If we ever wanted a place to paint.This would be it.

Overspray shouldnt be too much of a problem.As we will be spraying into the wheel arches.Just dont go overboard with the spraying all at once,so overspray doesnt turn into a cloud.

Do any of you have an idea of how we keep the nissan logo silver and not painted??

yeah paint the caliper then spend ages sanding it back it will look great :mellow:

either that or get some tape and cover it, and then use a razor and cut out the nissan logo

iv done this before so if anyone wants i can come along and help its easy stuff, you just gotta clean the callipers so the paint sticks, and you gotta give the car a bit to cool down before you start painting, so i dont know how it will work, mayb you turn up then have a bbq gives it a while to cool down.

dave.....

ive spoken to my mate and hes actually got all of his tools in there minus all of the hoists.

hes actually taking on work monday-saturday and doesnt feel like sticking around on sundays to supervise (he has to be there, insurance purposes or some shit).

sorry guys, ill keep my eyes open.

I tried painting my calipers while they where still on the disc and its hard and shitty and unless you use alot of newspaper you will get paint on your car.

Its really hard to get the back of the caliper. Your much better off taking them off, brake lines and all and doing it. you get a much more even coat all over and you can replace your pads while your at it.

for the embossed nissan part, i just continually wiped mine as i went then a bit of minor sanding got it all off. i ended up painting it white with a small brush which was really easy.

hey i know this thread is old but i just bought some paint ,it aint hard to find.Anyway it would really help if anyone had some pics of it done before and after. Saw a white 300zx with blue pads but it was black around the edges total dodge job.MAR 55S if your out there pics por favor senor.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
