I have a white kouki hatchback with Polished Varrstoen's 18x10.5+22 rear 17x9+15 front, Z32 brakes all around with slotted/crossdrilled rotors in front, Max Pro coilovers, SPL full suspension. Does reflective gold powder coated calipers with polished "NISSAN" lettering sound tacky? I'm thinking about doing it.

you mean reflective gold like this right?...... Think long and hard before you do it.
The RE30's dont look horrible, but they are RE30's so.

I'm debating this idea, black, or the standard red. Yeah, like that- More like somewhere in between. I can't figure out if it would actually look good or not. I think it's one of those things that could look G status or like complete shit. But white car, polished wheels with envious fitment and stance, nice brakes/suspension, Gold calipers. Has potential? |

Thats definitely a personal choice.
I personally dont like reflective wheels very much, chrome or otherwise. So it would be up to the owner to bite the bullet and take whatever flak comes along with it. Not trying to be negative I just think a lot of people will talk shit because your not following the "formula". It honestly could look fucking awesome on a white car, especially with KOUKI aero. Try and get someone to photoshop them gold for you since you have polished already. Shouldnt be too hard.

I have had this problem, too. With my stock brakes, I changed the pads, shims, and rotors to new ones all around. Two weeks later they were squeeling.
There are little metal tabs attached to the brake pads that touch the rotors to let you know to change them, right? If those aren't touching, I'd say some brake pads just squeel more than others. I'm interested in knowing what you find out about what is causing this problem. That doesn't sound right, but I think you know what I mean. |

How does one run top feed injectors on a GReddy S14 SR intake, which utilizes the stock runners?
The intake looks like so: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2597/image3050.jpg As you can see, the plenum connects to the second half of the stock blacktop intake. |

i forgot to mention that i have splparts brake lines. anybody else want to suggest anything for my loud squealing brakes? i am about to try exchanging my autozone gold pads for another set of autozone gold pads, since i know they are a hit or miss kind of deal.
but yeah, no leakage for three weeks, calipers have been rebuilt two years ago, new autozone gold pads about a month ago, new q45 97-01 rotors, new shim kit from west covina nissan, super lubbed up with what the nissan dealer gave me.
