32Gts't Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Alternator turned out amazing. It's good to see it coming back together again. You won't want to drive it after all the hard work on the undercarriage etc. Keep up the good work.

How much did you pay to have the pulley anodized? Cheers guys, should look unreal back on the motor huh! The pulley is part of the Mines pulley kit, have had to make some slight alterations to make them work as I believe they were to suit RB25, will post up pics soon Build is amazing, the detail.. Oh my god. You make me want to go through this same process with my 32. But I just wouldn't have the patience to get a result like this! By the way, best alternator ever. Hands down.

colourclassic Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 someone didn't pay attention to my VHT Wrinkle Plus tutorial thread. Personally, I think the method of painting over the embossed section and then sanding/machining delivers a higher quality finish than masking, at least in this case. For larger surface areas, masking makes more sense.

For larger surface areas, masking makes more sense. dude! It's a lot easier to detail the RB26 logo without the paint in the first place. Why would you want to make more work for yourself and also risk of scratching the face of the cover when you don't have to?????

colourclassic Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 In your DIY thread, the painted areas around the masking seem to have partially come off when you've removed the mask. Not a discredit to your method, I think it works great, but in this scenario I would paint the whole thing then sand it back to achieve a closer to 'factory' finish, if you could call it that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/414162-bnr32-once-in-a-lifetime-build-all-gt-r-owners-must-see/page/15/#findComment-6937800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
