Still removing paint.

Just needs the window frame edges cleaned up. I can sand very close, but theres still a line of paint. Waiting for mini soda blaster for that and plastics.

So it will be totally bare and clean before etch primer.

Go see John at Trojan Motorsports. He has 3 stags out there at the moment.

2 he just got and the 3rd is his daily.

He may be able to help :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, will do. :)

Just spoke to John, taking it in next wednesday to get everything looked at/sorted.

Cheers for the tip. :)

All traces of paint gone (where im gong to spray) original nissan primer is tough stuff, edges done, panel beating done.

A quick wash and wipe with prepsol then its ready for body filler and etch primer.

Never used good body filler before, always was cheap sht. I used to dread the bog sanding.

I love pro body filler! :banana:

Its so easy to work with and edges feather nice.

Now i feel free to shape it as i please.

The rear guard is fully covered again, when i started to bash it out i realized its been work hardened, and about to tear and split. Its had all the bashing it can handle.

So it has to be re bogged, i dont feel confident cutting it out and welding in a new bit. If i could find a new bit.

Added a little touch to the door cards....

Credit goes to RBn1 and his build as this was his idea:

i see no proof of this. =D

Ive just ordered a whole heap of stuff for the GTR including full LEDs for all the lights. Can't wait till they get here.

please don't use paint anywhere on the door panels

(my inserts used to be silver, so was the cluster surround, and gearstick A/C surround)

good for it's day but got dated quickly

Nah no paint or anymore CF and very little lights. Need more moneys first though.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
