Hey all, with all my cars im a big fan of spraying the calipers instead of leaving them the stock grey colour, but ive hit a snag, what colour calipers suite the burgundy colour skyline? nothing i can think of suits the rest of the car colour, id love to do bright red but im not sure that will sit well with the rest of the car being burgundy.

what do you guys think?

I reckon go the same colour as your car, would look nice. Because a lot of the times, a home job bright red calipers makes the car look cheap lol. See it on heaps of shit boxes on the road ;)

lol home jobs look cheap? no waiz!

this is the rear caliper on my old skyline that i painted at home

imo it looks fken good, but i cant do this red, the only reason this one was red is because the car was white

Go Black FTW. they still look good but not wanky. Black and then sand back the nissan lettering if you want to. plus black and burgundy go together good. only other colour i can thing that wouldnt look bad is a brembo style bronze gold colour

Lol, I'll take my words back :rolleyes: I do admit the quality of it looks awesome.

But I said what I said because I've seen a lot of home jobs xD

Did you take them off your car to spray them?

haha, thanks guys, sometimes i wish i had a white car so i can do the same color

heh, thats ok mate. no i didnt take them off the car, just covered the surrounding areas!

It looks good as considering you didn't take em off your car :laugh:

hehe, behind the caliper was origional color, cos couldnt get the can behind there, nor see so meh.

does anyone know the actual name of the brenbo gold color? its not a straight gold...

id prefer an in your face colour, i wanna do the brembo gold, with either red or black nissan on it, but i cant seem to get the actual colour name of the gold that brembo use...

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
