As you guys know, I polish everything I get my hands on....but this takes it to a whole new level...cripes! A polished head! DAMN! Yasin

Mark - I know I know...diet and Caffeine free..its not that bad...and trust me I don't need the sugar...LOL The wheels are now listed on eBay, I put them up last night. Thanks for all the comments. Regards - Yasin

Looking great...! +1 for the at home DIY guys I laughed at the "primer matches your house" comment! Yasin

Alan - Wow...great info! You are know your stuff!!! Yasin

The New Zealand Targa was great - wow! The only Datsun was a 510 which sounded like it had a L16-L20 with sidedrafts. I also saw an AE86 right at the end that spun. There were some great cars on there and some REALLY close calls. The 996 TTurbo rolled 30times! Dang! The Porsches and the Skylines dominated. Yasin

LOL! Ooops I meant Cheating WIFE! http://www.metacafe.com/watch/302101/cheating_wife/ Yasin

These pictures were taken by me when I visited my parents in the Caribbean: EnJoY! Yasin

Some of these pics were taken by me, some by people I know, who know I am a picture slut! I put alot of Porsche 911s in this post as (like Datsun Zs) have aged so beautifully, still have incredible presence and are one of the most beautiful cars ever designed, their engines are incredible to look at as well! Hope you likey!!!: Ferrari 348 Twin Turbo!: Yasin

Thanks for the compliments guys! Much appreciated. Cethern - Come on down! Regards - Yasin

Very touching really...15years of his life dedicated to that scale reproduction. The builder was very serious in the interview as can be expected with that kind of time and dedication, Jeremy Clarkson the idiot that he is was laughing... Incredible... Yasin

Showoff...LOL!

OTM - Wow..very cool...944 Turbos have a special place in my heart. Very great cars and have many characteristics of Datsuns that we like, good looks, good performance, balance and handling. 300whp on these cars are magic and really not all that expensive to achieve. Is you Dad on the Rennlist forum? Yasin

J - Thanks for the compliments. I did offer to re-finish your CCWs for you, have you made any progress on them? Maybe you should pop open a nice cold refreshing Teib and think about it? Will do...I hope they end up on a 510 or a Roadster, they look tuff with these wheels on it especially lowered witha 21540 or 21550. Diet Soda isn;t all that bad....you get used to it! Trust me I don't need the sugar! Thanks! Yes getting into the scalloped area was hard work and tricky...! The wheels are off a 1984 300ZX NA. Thanks to all for all the clear coat and powder coat suggestions! My best - Yasin

I bought these wheels many years as a spare for my ZXT. And had them sitting at the side of my house for almost three years. Well one divorce, a couple of houses later and lots of life changes...a buddy of mine approached me and then decided that if I was to refinish them and polish them he would take them off my hands. They were covered in millions of spiders webs and putrid, nasty, west nile mosquito looking water. Well got them finally done and now he has decided to go with a 16" wheel instead...UG!!! Oh well.... The wheels came out amazing and it took me WELL over 15hours (3weekends) to get them to what you see. It was extremely hard, back breaking work - let me tell you - WOW! My lower back was throbbing after finishing them this weekend and a good 45minute hot shower was needed. These are the first wheels I have fully polished, as I normally just polish the lips. The original wheels were not too bad but it still took alot of prep time. The steps I used were: 1) Strip the Nissan Paint and Clear from the factory 2) Hand sand the aluminum in combo with a die grinder (the lips were tricky) 3) Individually clean each center outer scallop to remove the embedded brake dust using a few various chemicals and strippers - this took time as I did not want to damage the aluminum grain which looks awesome as a contrast to the polished surface 4) Polish with three various componds..starting from prep..to intermediate to final luster. I managed to polish the lips as well, which was tricky as they are not wide like a typical deep dish wheel and its easy for the polisher to skip and cut or damage the lip. I am probably going to eBay them this weekend, as these wheels look amazing on 510s and Roadsters so it will appeal to that crowd as well. Plus they are 15" x 6.5" wide so they do not look too silly tall and you can still get a nice wide tire on there, with no spacers and are of course 4x4.5" (114.3mm). Before and starting the prep: After: Note the center outer scallops - clean and detailed on this pic: Regards - Yasin

I have the same B6T in my Turbo 323 and at 15psi at WOT in 2nd gear...the tires are having a very hard time hooking up..so I can't imagine a Festiva. Yasin

What year is your Dad's 944T and any mods? Any Lindsey products on it? Yasin

This reply puzzles me? Are you saying that you are not going to bother with making an attempt at shipping the potential blocks to the U.S because of shipping charges might be high? Thats like dangling the carrot and then taking it away? Please clarify your statement. Yasin

Great vid Austin and beautiful work and conversion...!!! Car sounds menacing...I love it! Thanks for sharing. Yasin

This is a cool pic....good luck on the sale! Yasin

I didn't realize Vanilla Ice was into Turbo Volvos? Sweet vid...and that car is disgusting!! Yasin

I guess its real COOL...if you are not paying for it.

Ben- I am very interested....but man the iron blocks are impossible to break or warp the true test is the high HP applications...how will your AL block fair under punishing conditions? I am unaware of any all aluminum straight six blocks, I think maybe the new BMWs might be? Also what will the AL block weigh -vs- the iron block? (projected). It would be cool to have the AL blocks "O" ringed around cylinders to ensure that the head and the head gasket seal perfectly. Anyway keep us posted. I am shocked that you have found somewhere to undertake such a huge project? Regards- Yasin

I AM INTERESTED! Yasin

Davy - Thanks for bringing up the Pantera! Like Ernie says one of the best supercars of all time. I have enver had the prviledge of riding in one, but love them to death as well. The GT5-S is the lastest body style you are thinking about Ernie and I believe only a few made it over to the US I have a press release test that I can dig-up and scan. I continue to look on eBay at these monsters! Awesome Here is a 1988 model: 1989 model: Yasin
