i just did our 26 all products from local autobarn;

K&H etch primer

VHT engine enamel colour of choice

VHT engine enamel clear

VHT is the shizzle as it actually cures with heat and is vurtually indestructable if done properly.

thanks for that mate. do you have pics of how it came out?

look for a product called metal cast by dupicolor.........they have that red and is heat proof and give a metalic finish.

2 step system spray the silver and then the red, look sweet.

did my brakes and engine parts in it.

Hasn't chipped or worn off yet!

did you oven bake your painted items?

i had VHT on the valley cover of my rb25 - was painted and car was run and used for about 4 weeks, then when it came in contact with overpsrayed Carbie cleaner it came off on those spots ..

seems like running temps aren't good enough to cure them, well to me anyway

if you can wait a few days, the camera is on its way back from WA :) its yellow too :(

does any one know if anyone did a DIY or a writeup of pulling this apart and spraying it?

I have read threads in the past and think i will have a go soon but wondering if anyone has any links ... thanking you

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
