Way back before I removed the first spot weld I spent a kings ransom on buying paints and chemicals for the job not being really sure what i would find and how deep i would need to dig.

This is available on eBay. I am in Vic and we have only been able to buy on line as all or retail is locked down

The whole point of this work is RUST so I have been treating all metal surfaces with a zinc phosphate pre-primer metal etcher called RustBlast before paint priming with a welding copper primer. What do you gurus out there think about this as a procedure before i commit to the return of the panels?  I don't know what treatment to trust my car to.

Top job mate, well done!  It will be totally worth it in the end knowing it's all done right!  You'll be doing full body resto's on 260Z's in no time!

 

 

Yes I was a fan of the 260z 2+2 loved them. Did you ever see what happen to the Nissan Bluebirds?  

wire brush, clean, then paint on some rust guard rust converter, then repaint in white rust guard epoxy enamel ? 

 

then get a pair of those strut tower protector discs from JL in west australia, that stop the bar from cutting into the paint, or cut your own out

Thanks, I was able to sand it all off with 240grit wasnt really that bad, I've rust converted the area. 

Im going to try and respray that area tomorrow, just wondering if I can prime over the small bare metal patch and old paint and primer all at once? 

And should I use etch primer or just normal surface primer be fine then top coat?

    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
