I think that's a fantastic suggestion (wink wink nudge nudge )

I would never run a FMIC without being boosted. That said once I do get around to going FI in the future, my FMIC will definitely be polished. In the mean time I may build an ARC style oil cooler, polish it and run it in the large center opening of the bumper.

Just think about a rig shot with the angle off the sun juuuuust right to reflect off the polished FMIC onto the pavement...

Quote: All bleeders are on top Tim. So when bleeding the brakes, the air travels up and out of the caliper.
Correct. From the Wilwood install manual:

"To properly bleed the brake system, begin with the caliper farthest from the master cylinder. Bleed the outboard bleed screw first, then
the inboard. Repeat the procedure until all calipers in the system are bled, ending with the caliper closest to the master cylinder. If the
caliper is fitted with bleed screws on four corners, make sure the bottom bleed screws are tight. Only bleed from the top bleed screws.
"

Here are the links to the manuals Tim:

Rears (for later) - http://wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds546.pdf

I don't know about that

^ FI or don't even think about it. A nice ARC oil cooler would be acceptable though

My guess is they are used to either swap out fluid (open bleeders and let the fluid drip out) or the calipers are used on other cars (besides Nissan). You can flip the caliper to the right side of the rotor for other cars.
