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

Haha sorry guys, all this work, no way!

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!

Next lot off to get zinc coated

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

Cheers

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 :laugh:

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

how many litres of black have you gone though?

keep up the awesome work

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!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
