    Its been awhile, but im back at it. I bought myself an electric sander since i was tired of letting the air compressor rest while using the air sander. But now that im back to my sanding i should be able to get more sanding done quicker. I have my head back right now, getting some gunk out of the threads that didnt get washed out. After I get it out the head goes back to the shop, I think Im getting a good price on the work which is why im cleaning out the threading, its taking long time to get this head done though, the valve seats need to be replaced but im not going to the that yet since i just want to run it stock with triple carbs.

    epoxy primer on all bare metal..no I used very little body filler, only fixing the low spots, then 2k high build primer which will cover and fill scratch marks on body plus small problem areas.

     

    here is a pic of my hatch sill plate

     

     

    Ahh ok, that looks great! Did you make a plate or buy it online? I found it online for 140 bucks, I need to get a angle grinder to get some of the rust off the bottom

    Side of where the plate used to be and weld a few new pieces on in that area.

    I sprayed the entire bare metal car with epoxy primer, then did my body work, then sprayed it with 3 coats of 2k high build primer, guide coated the 2k high build with 180 and 320 dry. Then shot 3 more coats of 2k high build and wet sanded with 400 and now doing 600 to remove orange peel in the primer. Then I will spray a 2k sealer right before I paint and let it flash, then I will paint the car and then wet sand with 1500-2000 to remove orange peel and trash...

     

    I have been working on my body for almost a year now...

     

     

    Wow I'm in for a lot since I've never done this. So I've been doing some research and unread that putting a very thin layer of body filler before the first primer spray gives it a professional finish. Did you do that or just spray the primer first?

    nice project...I am just a little ahead of you on my 71. All my body work is now done and I am now wet sanding with 600. I replaced the roof and leaded in the joint just like the factory did, repaired rust on floor pans, cut out all rust and also did the rear hatch decking, hit me up if you have any questions..

     

    I have to order my hatch Sill plate and continue sanding. I'm getting side tracked since my daily is not feeling to good, I did a motor pull Sunday so I can have that installed by my mechanic since I need it done quick and prefer to pay someone to do it for me in a couple days but I'll be back on the road soon. I'm going to try and get some sanding done soon, im buying a electric sander this week so I don't have the air compressor have 15 min rest periods lol.

     

    Btw how high of a sand paper will you be using, I was going to wet sand with 1000-2000 grit when it came down to it. I want it to look like a professional did it as much as I can lol.

    Nice thread Alex. Thanks for taking a look at my build; we have quite a bit in common with limited funds/high expectations.

     

    Also, do you know what kind of wheels you have? I have very similar ones and I'm trying to figure out what they are exactly.

     

    I have the enkie 96's that came with the car, I'll be getting rid of those since they aren't my style. You have the enkie 92's I believe.

    You got a great deal my friend. Good luck with the build! I'm doing everything myself on my 70 240z. Check out my thread, Ive had the car for two years now but working on it for about a solid year with work and getting married. I've never done any body stuff but so far it's going great...just slow. If you have any questions pm me I'd be glad to lend my input.

    My friend said he's getting spark and there is fuel, weird that it has a ecu with carbs he verified that for me. I'm wondering if it controls a crank sensor or something like that. They were looking into getting an older dizzy if the motors were the same in the 86 model that had no ecu with carbs. I'll suggest putting it back the ecu.

    So I have a friend that's getting this 87 sentra ready for a destruction derby in sep. Last week they went to try and get the car up and running. It's carbureted with an ecu, I guess they pulled out the wiring harness and ecu and not the car won't fire up. Now I thought if its carbureted it wouldn't need an ecu but apparently this model does. Is there any way they can get the car up and running without the ecu? The motor ran before and they didn't touch anything mechanical on it. Sorry this is not Z related but I just wanted to ask incase anyone knew on here. I do know that the 86 sentra didn't have an ecu and was carbed but I thinknitnwa a different motor too.

    Depends on your definition of "fun" I guess. I can have fun with 120whp from a stock L24. Find a running engine on CL and stuff it in. Shouldn't cost you more than a few hundred bucks and will get you on the road and having fun in no time! ;)

     

    If you want to build an engine then buy a spare one and build while keeping the Z on the road at the same time.

     

     

    I'm just doing a light rebuild on my L24 and running it with triples. I won't be able to drive my car for awhile though since I'm doing a full restore. Listen to Leon and I get a motor to drive since you'll love driving your Z anyways right? Build a performance motor on the side. Your su's can be massaged a bit to give you some better performance to.

    I was thinking of doing a mn47 an dished piston set up to keep compression down. But as I asked people on here they told me going that rout you don't take advantage of the quench pads on the mn47 head with dished pistons as you would with the flat top pistons. That set up is what I'm going to end up doing if I don't go with a n42 he's shaved set up. I will say this, look into higher octane gas in your area if you do flat tops with that head. If you have to spend money at least spend it on what you want, otherwise find a stock motor in good condition and run it till you know what you want. Do it right the first time :)
