small update

I use Nissan in Nambour/Qld for my parts. We use them through work so they put up with my silly request but they do know there way around old cars and always hunt for what ever i need.

Was wondering what should go there? 3 screw tops as well

Got them water blasted, have had other stuff done and i love the process. I keeped one carb complete and used that as a guide and re installing all the other parts and pulled that one apart as i went. There was only 2 different length screws (only prob 3mm lenght difference) and everything else only really has 1 area it can go. Hardest part was the the spring area as there is a heap of parts in such a small area. I didn't bother with the throttle shafts yet. Unsure if this will bite me but wont know till i try and get it running. Price wise it has only cost me about $300 to do the rebuild.

small update

I used paint stripper on my whole car then sent it to the blasters in bare metal. This way they know what there looking at. We have had 2 cars previously extensively damaged by 2 other companies attempting to sand blast them :/ Also tried soda, does have its benefits but it also has down sides as well. Acid is great as it gets everywhere but u have to make sure u get paint and rust proofing everywhere as there will be bare steel in all the hard to reach places.

Powder coating does have some good points but also some bad points. Personally i will never get anything powder coated. I painted all my crossmembers is 2k instead.

had the same error but got a email saying it went in.

I enjoy working on cars and enjoy seeing the final product at the end. Weekends effort

i went a little ocd with this but worth it i think. Got some parts back from Hydro blaster today Rest of the bushes

I have a long list of people who want stuff done haha. The line is a factory line on gtr's as seen here. I have gone to alot of detail and copied this technique. Most people just hack and weld and be done with it. I even made a new inner arch to match the quarter

Cheers for the kind words. No real update as work has been to busy/life but that hasn't stopped me from ordering parts haha Also got the rear window in. still waiting for him to come back and do the front

Order the wrong bush so this needs to go. 50mm diff/crossmember bush $70 Del aus wide

yeh they're the smaller one

was off a c10 so L20 prob is correct. will measure tomorrow. cheers

Hi guys. Just received some twin su's and a friend had a manifold laying around as well. One's a E36 and the other is a n41. Which one is better to run or there's no real difference?

Hi guys, on the hunt for some front calipers. located in qld but will pay for postage. cheers Scott

still chugging along

Yes i have seen Brad's car. Not keen on the wheels size but still nice otherwise

cheers guys. Still plenty to do but i can see the end is near . Hopefully oneday Shane and i cross paths with our K's Didn't do to much today

painted the old girl today

Cheers. I got next week off so hopefully see it painted

Small update. Been busy chipping away. Got the interior painted in just a solid grey and also stone guarded underneath Also got all the arms underneath painted. Final check for door gaps And finally got a set of these They are still in japan and unsure on internal specs but they are 44's. Bit of a gamble but hopefully they pay off.

PPG advise epoxy then filler then re epoxy.

I epoxy then filler then re epoxy then prime. I also dont touch any bare metal without gloves.
