I'm in the process of rebuilding the rear calipers on a 1993 240sx and I purchased the oem nissan seal kit. The confusing thing is that the kit for the rear calipers came with 2 grease packets. The instructions say use red colored grease on the piston seal and the orange on the surface of the slide pins. If you look at the image below, I have like a blood orange and pink packets of grease. They didn't even label what kind of grease it was so I can't really compare them to the diagram in the FSM.

Has anyone done a rear caliper rebuild using the nissan kits and know which grease goes where?

My crappy phone camera probably screwed up the image but left is pink and right is blood orange. I'm leaning toward
red= pinkish pack
orange=bloody orange pack

I thought it was a bad translation so I had a friend translate the japanese on the back and it does say red and orange...
