oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 ah, i see the cable ties, very discreet, many years ago i decided i like these '78 ones better, but i am rethinking quite a few things on the car. would be cool to try the '76 grill as they remind me of the ke25 grill a bit too, which looks mad. :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 thanks men! yep true, pretty slack. Haven't had much spare time lately, and what i do get is donated to the pajero, will be booking that in for rwc and mod plates in the next week or so. So if that goes well all spare time will be back on the ke30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Thanks xr8racer, its always awesome to hear feedback like that! cheers. Yep, need some progress report. Auto bellhousing is fitted to c4, the adapter worked a treat. have removed head from sr20de i have here, this is the new head for this built engine, its now ready to send off for cnc porting. Went to kelly wreckers in bris, and got raped for some panels. Got another bootlid, and a front apron from an early ke30. These panels have been stripped to bare metal,etched, straightened, and etched again ready for undercoat now. Fitted all panels on vehicle to check gaps are perfect, and also to check that fitment is perfect. (eg. if you slide a ruler along the car from one panel to the next there will never be any gap under the ruler) Front gaurds are straight and re-etched ready for undercoat. Have talked the missus into doing the new vinyl on the front seats, so the blue/white velo's will now match the tan interior. bought the vinyl a few weeks back, and she started this week on them. Will hopefully undercoat all the above panels today. Will be making the new shiny stainless brake lines in the coming weeks too. will get some pics to upload today as well.

1JZ-Rolla Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 very impressive work mate, inspiring to see what can be done at home! Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing the end result. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 thanks for the encouragement phil! alright, camera has issues, so these pics suck a fair bit. all 9 unboltable panels are ready for topcoat now, rubbed back with 400 dry paper, and looking really good. Car has been removed from shed to avoid dust and over spray.\ Painted and fitted brake booster and master cylinder front brakes and struts fitted and painted, with support braces, steering not fitted yet though as the some of the boots are broken. more stuff in waiting for painting. stuff painted and ready for car All wiring in the engine bay will be hidden, so have stripped back and began the task of distributing the body loom wires in a more suitable fashion. Also have made up an alloy plate for engine ecu, coils, ect for under the dash, and mounted. The ever supportive missus has also began the task of recovering the velo's, after they went mouldy from poor storage. but no pics yet. Plent of stuff still to do, but this is now my main focus until finished, as the pajero is now performing its intended task as the missus work car.
