Fixed some more rust fixed under the hatch seal channel and fitted a replacement channel.

Decided to put it back on the rotator to make it easier to start fixing some of the rust and dints in the body.

Decided to redo the sun roof patch as I rushed it the first time. Cut it out and rewelded a new piece in.

Brought a stud welding a while ago finally got around to converting the hand piece to take pins and made up a slide hammer from the nose of a rivet gun.

The car had been rust treated from the dealer so scraped out all the body deadener to start working on the rear quarter panels.

Decided to make a trolley to hold the stud welder and a few hammers and dollies so they're at arms reach while I do the body work.

Had to make one good ignition switch from 3.

Stripped the covers and gave them a satin finish.

Wasn't happy with the catch can/washer bottle, decided to make it a bit lower and raise the bottom to hide the washed pump and boost control valve.

Decided to buy new brake, got some XYZ 355x32 6 pot front and 4 pot rear. It might be a bit of over kit considering the hatch original came out with 13" rims and now is going to have 14" discs.A9X_0178_resize.thumb.JPG.f5afe3b722e09c04fc9cffbaf721cdec.JPG

Have 12mm clearance between the spokes and the caliper and 6.5mm between the inner barrel and the caliper .

Started on the gaps and sort out which is the best nose cone to use, then need to modify the front section of the front flares and front spoiler.

Also gave the engine covers a better polish and fitted some Mines triple flow cam baffles.

Mate, you're really getting stuck into it, well done!  Looking awesome!  I know where to go for panel repairs when I buy another Datsun/Rustsun!

Things must be a bit quiet at Rubicon with all this spare time you have on your hands!?

Keep it up, I bags first test ride for an SAU member!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
