Changed the power steering fluid and refilled with OEM Nissan power steering fluid as recommended by the factory service manual. Did it myself. I'll make a DIY guide this week on it I have the pictures already.
 
the calipers originally were painted both cast halve's, in and out... recently I noticed they got cheap and now only paint the outside casting leaving the inside one raw but if I you were going to paint a set I'd say do the whole caliper like any other bbk caliper would be, don't leave the back naked :)
 
I spent a good three hours sanding down the calipers. Here is a pic of the second caliper what a headache.

why are you sanding it so much? You just have to sand it down for 5-10 minutes tops to get a good rough surface, then prime it, then paint and clear.
