lol you'd use something around the 1000 range and make sure its wet...

primer should hopefully fix it, might need a few coats... just remember that any blemish in the primer will looks 10000 times worse once the paint goes on...(paint doesnt cover it up like some people may think)

listen up mate:)

if your car's in 240 theres two ways you can go about it...throw it in primer which will help in the appearance when its all finished or you can go out and throw some 320 then one 180 on an orbital sander and get all those 240 scratch marks out...only problem there is dont know how competent you are and how thick your paint is you might rub through and if its badly rubbed through might show up when you finish painting it.

mate if i was you take it some one who knows what they are doing me and my dad are doing my GT-R and the only reason im letting him touch it was because he used to run Nissan Australia's production line for body work back in the day and is a panel beater by trade! and even with him working on my car not everything is going to go to plans but if you have some questions or need some advice ask me and ill ask him and will be glad to give you a hand

    • I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side
    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.
