It's a nightmare to paint as it's piss thin, There's probably a good 20 Coats in that bay..... 3-5 is usually sufficient.
Gave the Engine a Hot Wash and a Degreasing.... In preparation for a Refresh and some Paint.
woah dude impressive!!!
bloody loving this!
Loving this thread, the standard of your work is refreshing to see with so many paint shops rushing any old thing through like a conveyor belt! I mixed an almost exact custom purple pearl as that the other week too! Good choicekeep up the good work mate. I am enjoying watching your progress.

I've never been one for conformity myself, I like doing my own thing.
Thanks a lot dude, I appreciate it.awesome colour and some cool work going into this project
Thanks for the positive response.
After a bloody inconvenient month off for health reasons, I can get cracking with this again.
Spent my recovery period buying up a mass of parts.
I'm sure most people aren't interested in what they look like, But I'm quite proud that this car is mostly consisting of Parts and Products made in either England or Japan.
Rocker Seals, Half Moons, Crank Seals, Cam Seals, and Injector 'O' Rings and Seals from Nissan.
Exedy Clutch Kit.
Rack Ends and Rod Ends.
Electric Fans and Radiator Cowling.
NTN Bearings and Uprated Teflon Drive Belt.
Nissan Water Pump.
Cometic Uprated Intake and Exhaust Gaskets.
Magma Exhaust Wrap... ( Risky move to bring the Exterior Colour into the Bay )
Uprated Clutch Bolts.
3" Stainless Flexi for the planned Exhaust System.
Uprated Flywheel Bolts.
Silicone Hose Kit.
Binned the old Flex Plate.
And replaced the Rear Crank Seal at the same time.
And installed the Uprated Flywheel.
Bought a Copy Greddy Plenum due to budget constraints.... We'll called it Freddy.
A much neater set-up to the stock Intake.
Did a dry set-up of the Fuelling.
Modified the Fuel Pipe run from This...
To This....
Machined some fresh Spacers up, as the originals always get lost somehow ?
And Rotated the Injectors to get the Wiring Loom routed neatly.
Nice work dude
Thanks dude, Appreciate it.
Decided to move the Power Steering Pump from it's normal location, To one Lower down...
In the hope of fitting the Fluid Bottle above it instead of on the Turret.... where it should look a lot neater.
Before.
After.
Installed a new Walbro Fuel Pump in the Cradle, Installed it in the Tank... Then fitted the Tank in the Chassis.
Overhauled the Rear Diff.
Opted for an Open S14 Diff.
Cleaned it and Sand Blasted it.
Etch Primed.
And Painted.
Made a Gasket.
Filled it with Go Juice.
Re-sealed the Nose Seal.
And all Assembled.
At this point got completely carried away and installed the Diff in the Subframe, Completely forgot I hadn't made any replacement bushes for it.
Machined up some replacement Bushes.
Then got the Diff back in the Subframe and installed in the Chassis.
Made some Stainless Washers before finally Nutting it up.
Also made some Modifications to the Stock PS Fluid Bottle.
And test fitted that.
.
Awesome build thread and some nice fab work!
