Are you English by any chance? LOL this build reads SO much like the die hard Poms restoring their beloved Sierra Cosworths / Escorts etc! Great to see the same level of

attention going into a Nissan!

Haha

Real nice mate. One question (may sound silly) what does Zinc coating do and how is it done?

Cheers

It forms a layer on the part that prevents corrosion. It's usually done by dipping the parts in a molten bath of zinc. It's actually a lot like soldering really, the parts are chemically cleaned and then coated in a flux,which helps the zinc bond. The advantage of zinc plating over other anti-corrosion methods like paint etc. is even if the zinc layer gets scratched, the part underneath will still be protected.

Nifty stuff really.

Cheers mate. Yeah it sounds really good. Im guessing there are places where you go and get that done and it would be limited to metal and cast iron parts, am I right?

Cheers

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      I figured out what’s wrong. It’s something to do with the high beam wire short circuiting. When I measure the continuity with a multimeter on the headlight socket connector it gives me a continuous beeping noise when I put it on the ground socket and also on the high beam socket.  On the passenger side of the car (working side), it’s only beeping when the probe is on the ground socket. Which makes sense.  So that means it has something to do with the high beam power supply for the drivers side. How do I trace that? Is it the turn signal lever malfunctioning? The one that also controls the high beam and low beams.

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By EndZee · Posted

      But if I smoke test 5th cylinder it’s all ok, no leaks  when I try with 2nd it’s leaking exhaust and intake, it doesn’t come from oil dip stick.    so maybe when car was running poorly, rich or sth. Spark plugs were black and covered in charcoal or sth lookalike. could potential contamination make valves not seal properly? is there also a possibility that rb’s don’t have equal performing cooling passages  meaning back of the engine will be hotter than front. Can this cause improper wear if engine was running under load for short time? Or carbon build up could just burnt from 4-6 and is still on 1-3?   I out of my head like really. Timing is as manual crank-exhaust 47, exhaust-intake 38 at this point I thinking about give it a try and make another 500-1000km and check if anything change, if not I will most likely disassemble engine head /or whole engine and send it back to rebuild. It’s killing me
