Early jap nuter

If the seller isn’t the last registered owner can be an issue, but if it’s not reported stolen get the seller to put something on paper then you can go to a justice of peace and get them to sign a declaration of ownership and your sweet. Had to do afew times in the last year,they seem to be getting picky on it

@hood cheers, next mission is to cut a S cargo up so it lays frame and stick it up on a pole as a sigh

It gives the full Datsun experience, just sits in a shed and slowly falls a part

After not doing jack shit for nearly 3 years I thought I’d start my own shop. I needed a reception desk / place to sit at while buying stuff off yahoo so this happened. Thanks Dudley for the deal on car and getting tyre sorted

This is the conversion I want to do in my figaro

From my experience with rear over fenders if it looks good leave it alone. The shitty jobs I’ve seen here and from Japan are shocking and If it’s really wide it will need new inner and outer guards. I imported a ex show car from a big rx7 company and the rear guards had been cut every 3 cm around the wheel opening and folded up and rivited to the gaurd. Then had fiberglass poured in to fill holes

There’s a pre mix on trade me called boost juice, it’s says free shipping from oz but I haven’t trued it.plus one for the aem v3

Old guy that owned checkered flag motors is long gone and was not the most honest guy so I’d say any paperwork was “lost” when they closed

Yeah the Ali starts to froth white stuff out of it then fall apart. Anzor has a sealer that’s slows down the reaction but won’t stop it.

Have a look at plus nuts, like a rivnut but when they pull up like a wall anchor. use to fitt to fiberglass stuff to tucks and hold a bit of weight. Top ones a plus nut bottom riv nut

This is 100% true, my mate jas has had a killer wrx since the early 2000s, ra with built motor,dog box and good shocks was a monster on the road and ran 11.8s all day. Was still on the ra wheels so people thought it was stock

Falcon ones are welded to front of rails and have heaps of room for coolers

Haven’t used them in 8 years but they they had a fast turn around and good price, they were really good at the digital speedos like in the soarers

Sweet cheers for that

Hi can you remove head rests from a seat in a 1991 car? I have a customer that wants to remove the headrests so the car has more of a old school look. here are the seats

Do you want to keep texture or smooth out?

I’d just tape the edges with the ali tape stuff

I’ve used it for that but kinda peels off where it gets real hot.best I’ve used aeroflow ali embossed stuff over the top and made less noise and stoped my wife’s shoes melting to the floor

Red tape. Repair cert then re vin

The rear springs were half the weight or the standard springs, some of the shocks had leaked in box and the welds looked like shit. One of the boss’s got a set for his kids civic and broke the springs within a week

When I was dealing with ordering from China for work they would paint things any colour you wanted and print anything you wanted on them even on small orders. Got afew full lift kits for utes for free to try in a container once and I just put them in the scrap pile

You really need to work out what you want to spend and what can you do yourself. There’s lots of little things you don’t think of at the time but end up costing if you carnt do it yourself

Years ago when I was importing cars the warrants were issued at the compliance place and if they weren’t registered within a certain time they de reged and had to go back to compliance,think it was a year not sure but that was back 2008ish

Just saying what I was told

Yeah when I was fitting things to new utes afew years ago I brought this up in a meeting with big Auckland dealers and the response was not our problem when warranty runs out. They never sold the parts to you they sold you a truck and u had the parts fitted but as a service to you as a customer we will get them fitted before pick up. Toyota was the only one that wouldn’t let curtain products fitted
