    Hey Loui, what gearbox is this running? Cheers.

    Nice looking two seater there . If the bar comes off, I might be interested in it. . Did any of the front panels get modified to clear it? Agree with your dad on the flares, once you cut the guards, there is no going back (front is easy as you can fit new guards, rear is a nightmare!) Wheels you can always change so no probs there, just hang on to the originals if you want to go back. Looks good, very jealous, I so want a two-seater. Enjoy.

    Cheers guys. Lurch that is essentially what I do, probably could have alternated around the panel a little more though, although did tack it all the way round first. I just weld small spots, no chance of running a bead on Datsun steel as it will blow through quite easily or warp excessively. May try the air gun and will go to 0.6 on my next roll of wire. Cheers and keep up the good work rescuing Datsuns.

    Looks nice Linton Where did you get the nudge bar and did you have to modify it to clear any of the front panels? Cheers

    Cheers Lurch would be cool if I could find a sister chassis to mine, would have to restrain myself from buying it (possibly ) PS do you use 0.6 or 0.8 wire when mig welding in rust repair sections? I used 0.8 and still find it warps the panel a little (bottom of front guard). Is there a way around this? Assuming 0.6 will reduce the heat input a little and therefore less warpage. Aside from that I asume just work your way around the section evenly little bits at a time? Cheers.

    Hi Lurch, looks nice, mine is the same color and is a 77. What is the chassis no.? I would be interested to see if it is close to mine. Cheers

    Re-dying leather

    Brabham replied to Brabham's topic in Interior

    Would Auto-one have the aerosol dye? Cheers

    Hi guys, I have some black leather seats that are a little worn and I just wanted to dye the parts that are a bit worn so they remain all black. Does anyone know how I should do this? Is black liquid shoe polish a good idea or will it rub off? Cheers.

    Out of interest does a 200ZR sump fit an RB30? Cheers

    A locksmith should be able to re-key the barrels you have, or make keys to suit the ones you have. Cheers.

    Dear God the man is totally insane lol L36? You'll blow yourself to pieces! Looking forward to the build, should be awesome! Would be cool if you could get an L-series NA to 400HP, or close to. What induction are you going Pete? 45mm Mikuni's, 50 or 55mm Weber's or ITB's? Did you use an L28 block? Would love to hear this thing fire up one day. Must get you to build me an RB30/26 DETT one day for a Z

    Good to see it saved. First thing would probably be to repair the sunroof hole using a donor roof or similar. Unless there is no rust in the sunroof hole and you want to keep it.
  13. Brabham
    How do you clean up the rust? Just a wire brush on a power drill? I am guessing that copper rich paint is much the same as zinc rich weld through primer? Love the work. Cheers

    May also be interested in tow bar if Pauly passes. Can you post a pic of it? Cheers.

    I heard someone say that Nissan was planning to enter F1 in the Turbo days with the FJ block. Is there any truth to this Pete? Cheers
  16. Brabham
    Looks good, not tempted to go back to pine lime color Viv?
  17. Brabham
    My vote goes to gloss paint
  18. Brabham
    Why have you decided to sell it Jason ?
  19. Brabham
    Nice work Pete you love your FJ's don't you? Pretty awesome power out of it. What category is your zed in? Sports sedans or marque sports? Cheers

    Projected power output? Wow that engine is hard against the firewall, any further back and it would be in the passenger seat! Did you get Castlemaine engine mounts or are they custom? Cheers
  22. Brabham
    Looks awesome love the rear venetians too, totally old school. Are you keeping it auto? Cheers.
  23. Brabham
    Some components you could bead blast and paint epoxy black - obviously no threads or shafts - I may do this for my suspension later on. Not sure about chip resistance of the epoxy paint.

    the last engine

    Brabham replied to peter mc's topic in Engine

    Awesome work Pete
  25. Brabham
    Thanks Pete. Would also love to get you to build me an RB30/26DETT one day if you are willing to build more engines. However, I have to finish project Datsun #1 before I get to this. Cheers
