hey guys thought i may as well put a thread up since i look around this fourm reguarly.

So after owning a na ca s13, ae86 20v with itbs, ke70, ae92, 2010 ve ute, excel and now ive come to hopefully my last car for a good few years!

started life a as 91 nissan silvia s13

sr20de

manual

fully f**ked coilovers

'' '' rear lcas

" " clutch

18's... 2nv

ect ect

picked it up for 5g with 12months rego,

Good points were

Factory 2 tone

fairly tidy interior

rego

and a place to start!

Anyway, after i bought the car the clutch was 90% dead, box crunched slightly, motor missed and was oily as f**k and it was just shithouse to drive, this needed to be changed asap.

Figured if i was going to go to the trouble of taking the box out, buying new clutch, fixing motor ect i may as well do something different and fun haha

So this is were we are at.

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
