hey guys i have a v spec 1 r32 gtr with the black brembos

the clear is flaking on them as they always do and im looking for someone who can recondition them externally... they do not need seals or anything as they work A1 i just want them prettied up to match the quality of the rest of the car....

i am a bit of an automotive painter as i do alot of painting at work and i was thinking of doing them clear over base in cobra basecoat with 2 pack urethane clear but im affraid the clear will yellow from the heat

has anyone else had theirs redone "PROPERLY"??

i want them as per factory... black with white brembo writing all neat and straight as i am very fussy

any help much appretiated... thanks guys

i've done some powdercoating for the EVO6 brembo's in the red colour, these are cured at 400F

constant temp rating for powdercoating is 110C with spikes to 500F handled. Really depends on how hard you are going at the track, but i think your brake fluids will be boiling close to these peak temps.

need to rehost these pics for better quality, and the fronts are PRE clear and rears are CLEARED.

Red requires the use of a decal, due to the nature of powdercoating red bleeds into white.

white over black doesnt bleed so can use a decal as a template for white powder.

not a cheap process due to the time it takes, will reply to your pm

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
