hi all im josh

im a apprentice boiler maker but my real passion is rb's ...

my previuos car was a mitsubishi legnum vr4 s2, sad thing was it was automatic so typically being a mitsubishi gearbox it blew up and i had the car of the road for 8 months trying to find parts and a mechanic to work on it :closedeyes:.... so once that was fixed i pissed it of and bort my 1992 nissan r32 gtst.

when i bort it it was stock as a f**kn rock , it came with a 32 gtr bonnet grill and spoiler and a crappy 3 inch exhaust wichh was tooo quite.. (dnt no if its a ltd edition or someone in jap land put these parts on)

the car was a fresh import and only had 70,000 on the clock so i thort sweet i wana bomb this .

i drove around for a year and only did minor mods like a 25 turbo, boost tap and cut resonators out ov the exhaust and put a dyno cat conv on . (maximum flames).

the condition of the motor started going up shit creek , the water pump was leaking oil pressure droped exhaust manifold bolts snapped of and troubles started evrywere.

then i lost my liscense so it was time to pull the motor out .

i kept the rb 20 coz for some reason i think there friken awsome . evryone said get a 25 but i wana build somthing that not many people do and prove that u CAN make a 20det give chop

so far iv done a fair bit of work and spent alot ov time cleaning it, painting the block and heaps more.

iv spent alot of money buying parts..

iv decided to just do the bolt ons and top end (due to cash flow) but in the future i want to forge the bottom end

so heres some photos .

    • 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.
    • 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
