Hello all.

Just thought I'd let you know I'm the proud new owner of RBNTs RS260.

He will be putting it on a truck for me early next week and hopefully should be in my driveway in a few weeks.

I used to own a black RS4V which I traded for a 20B Cosmo and the guy I traded with then sold to Stageagirl Im pretty sure. And I think she has since passed it on.

I see theres a WA cruise coming up.

Hopefully she'll be here in time for that.

Very nice buy. I've been watching this car since it came up for sale. Thoughts even crossed my mind of selling my 260 and buying one that's 'already done' ;-)

I'm sure you'll love it.

But half the fun is doing it yourself, with the stuff you want, the way you want it. I'd hate to buy a car with everything already done - then what?

Sure you'd enjoy it and all, but after a while it just becomes another car. I'm forever searching the net for idea's, hard to find parts and things to make my ride better. I hope it never ends too.

One day when I'm old, maybe then I'll buy a Toyota or something, as is and leave it alone. :(

Haha, that is true, but then it's also hard for me to justify the thousands of dollars (when I should be saving for a house) I would spend getting my car to a state where it is as quick as this one. I think if I was to modify my car to the level of this one, my car would probably owe me $10K more than if I just sold it and bought one 'pre-modified'.

But yes, you are right, nothing beats the satisfaction of doing it all yourself :(

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Shes currently sitting on the truck waiting for the floods to subside so they can truck her down here.

Ah the waiting game.

Anyone got any news on the flooding up in NT?

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
