[ichi-go]

My god, the level of detail - i agree with the comments on top, this should be kept in a controlled temp room to preserve it

[R32GOJIRA]

This just gets better and better everytime I look at it.

One day........

[SiR_RB]

What did you end up doing to the engine internally?

Or did i miss it somewhere?

Not much for now mate, just new main & bottom end bearings and crank work

Couple more new bits

At last

[gtr jet]

Not long now mate!

[Roy]

Are you English by any chance? LOL this build reads SO much like the die hard Poms restoring their beloved Sierra Cosworths / Escorts etc! Great to see the same level of attention going into a Nissan!

[Sinista32]

such a great and thorough job, big props to you Robbie

some mixed emotions tho

.... might go kick a tin can down the road

or go for a drive to get over some of this jealousy

[NathanR32]

Done once, done right

Next lot off to get zinc coated

[fatz]

how many litres of black have you gone though?

keep up the awesome work

[AMR33]

Real nice mate. One question (may sound silly) what does Zinc coating do and how is it done?

Cheers

[milanr34]

[Sinista32]

It forms a layer on the part that prevents corrosion. It's usually done by dipping the parts in a molten bath of zinc. It's actually a lot like soldering really, the parts are chemically cleaned and then coated in a flux,which helps the zinc bond. The advantage of zinc plating over other anti-corrosion methods like paint etc. is even if the zinc layer gets scratched, the part underneath will still be protected.

Nifty stuff really.

Make sure your air-con is on, might get a little stuffy at 450 degrees

Cheers mate. Yeah it sounds really good. Im guessing there are places where you go and get that done and it would be limited to metal and cast iron parts, am I right?

Cheers Pete. Couple litres, cost of the black has been peanuts considering the quotes I have been getting to actually paint the body

These things truly are money pits!
