Hi all,

Has anyone noticed the old showroom on Kingsway full of dusty 300z's just before the freeway entrance?

Map

I think this used to be owned by Spencer from Nissport who is out of business now... Seems weird that it's still there though.

Is his old mechanic Joe working at Dontex now?

yeah Joe works at Dontex in Vermont now.

i didn't know about this showroom on kingsway, but he did mention that he had zeds in storage so you could be right.

nobody really knows what happened to spencer and nissport, just shut everything leaving cars and parts locked up in the other workshop too. i think the mordialloc workshop has a new tenant.

apparently he is working on rain water tanks now

It's no secret as you can see the Z'd through the glass when you drive past. I think Spencer must own this place as he was always talking about opening it back in 2002. It's been too long to lease it...

I was trying to contact him recently but don't have him number. Anyone know it?

I remember working around the corner from this place on Kinsway back in 1999 and the same cars were there. Every time i drive past, i still look out to see if the cars have moved. Theres a ZX, supra, FTO and once upon a time a Soarer. These cars would be in vertually brand new condition. Dont know if the engines would still be ok though.

I have also taken notice of this place.

Cars I have seen there were a Supra / 300ZX and a Soarer.

Like you said, covered in dust.

I thought it was some sorta performance / tuning garage or a placed that just sold parts.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
