so you managed to pull that stuck tie rod out?

yes it was fckn hard as you could imagine. My dont have extra cash for a full respray but would like one, labour is what i dont have to pay for. btw weather effects the drying time i would assume right sam, even in a spray booth?

the biggest whether related problem in a spray booth is humidity, but we dont get too much of that, so all is good :D

im thinking of doing a backyard job. obviously my backyard aint really a backyard but my gf has a open enviroment which would be ideal to spray the car. ideas ideas, plans plans.....

wouldnt recommend painting in the open, i hate the idea of stuff landing in the paint. minimum compressor req. is 50ltr tank and 3hp, they retail at about $900, plus all the rest. i'll try and help you out if i can

im sure the equipment ie air pressure machine and spray gun, can be hired. all that i really need is some practice and the paint. i aint after a michelangeo piece of art, just something that looks decent.

lemme know when you go ahead with it and all, i'll give you some pointers

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
