Wedge

I practiced a little more this morning i think im getting better. I tried something i saw on youtube the man said to do U's with the with the puddle like UUUUUUUUUUU it seems to be easier for me this time i still think im not ready tomove on the car yet. Now time for pictures of test number 2. First here are pictures of the welder i got and the gas bottle. now pictures of todays weld. (im welding from bottom to top pushing the weld btw) they still dont look flat tho i dont why or how yet but ill practice again. I changed my seating position on the second set of welds i did i was sitting lower this time way easier on my back then leaning over the table, only thing i noticed is that i have more troube seeing the puddle i habe to lean on one side to see the puddle or the tip of the gun is hidding it. Comments are very very welcome please !

Thank you very much guys. From what im reading ad seeing on youtube im not letting the gun/heat long enough, on the back side of my plates the metal is just getting blue or orange after it cools down (if that makes sense) so im not seeing the weld getting through or bearly i was scared to burn through i think. Im welding on 1/32 steel to practice my hand on the steel ill be working on the Zed. Ill try my hand at it this week end and ill post more picture. Things im gonna try is leave the torch on for more heat push the puddle by angeling the gun at 45 deg and do my best.

Thanks for the advices keep them coming please.

Hi, i just got a new 110 volt 88amps mig welder for my projects and i tried my hand at welding yesterday. I have gas sheilding argon co2 mix and .023 wire. I need to know how are my welds . Thank you here are the pictures I played with wire speeds and the power setting on the welder didnt really knew what would happen till i pressed the trigger thats how green i am to welding. I think 6,7,8 are starting to look good in my humble opinion 2,3,4,6 looks ok to ?

Picture of my rare RB26 oil cooler block adapter

Im about to install my new oil cooler on rb26 to replace the crappy stock unit and im wondering how did you guys proceed to block the water passage for the oe unit and what did you do with the stock selenoid . Thank you

Dont give up, if you have experience with fiberglass it should be only a matter of time before you get a great look. Just wondering why you didnt go with a full dash cap they dont look that bad IMO.

Ya i did when I removed the RB pan to install the amazing one you made me. I checked all the pistons from the bottom and i couldnt find anything else.

The BB turbos were on when i got the engin and like the picture above had one destroyed that was a BB to. My guess is the first set of turbos this RB26 had the oem ones probably blew. My oil Pump is all clean BTW i checked yesterday.

Thanks alot Pat1 very appreciated.

RB26powered74zcar how would one do an oil galley flush ? Im wondering why their is sleave bearing parts in my pan since i have BB turbos on it. I thinking maybe the rebuild it supposedly had in japan was from that blown turbo but not cleaning the mess in the pan and im asking myself can i trust them to have done the rest of the job well. I think ill pull the oil pump this afternoon to check for wear and metal parts.

The N1 turbo i had on it had all their bearings and they have more holes in them. And ZT-R yes the engine was supose to be working i have a video of it . If the PO said the truth that is.

Beer tap was for size chart lol .Both my turbos have been checked one was all good the other one I had to replace it. Im more scared of the fact that I cant find the other half of the ring. pictures of the dead turbo looked like it sucked a rag left in a IC pipe

Yes it had a blown turbo I changed it since but the PO didnt know it was busted because (and this is what he told me could lies to)he bought the car from Japanese auction had it delivered decided he want to keep the body and part the rest and this where i come in he mentioned he just drove it from the ports custom in BC canada to his home and once around the block to film it driving around because i asked him to film rolling around. I had the compression test on film to it was in the 160 and over all across the block.

Oh and BTW the engine was said to have had a rebuild when it was in japan before the previoous owner bought the car

Hi everyone I was in the process of installing my new Pat1 made oil pan and when i removed the stock RB26 pan I cought these little bastards near the in and around the oil pick up the biggest chunk was on the edge of the block. They must've fallen form inside the pan because after checking the bottom of the pan carefully I found some more tiny pieces of metal. The engine had an almost perfect compression across the block before removal form the skyline it came from. Im getting paranoid now I dont know what to do, should I open it and check the cylinder walls or something else. I didnt pay attention when i drain the pan the first time to check if their was metal bits in it. I cought a piece of black silicone sealant in the big banjo bolt on the block the one that feed water to the 2 turbos. Pictures of the metal parts. What are they from ? Thank you for the advice

Yes its for my 280z .Well i guess ill have to keep looking Thank you

Hi, I could have a good deal on a Trust greddy I/C but its 16" tall by 24(core lenght) by 4" thick will it fit in the front without scratching the road or hitting the hood. I cant slap the tape on the car because its stored. Thank you very much

Im probalby gonna run 15X8 -13 in front and 15X10 -38 in the back just dont know yet .If the S12w front caliper dont fit might have to go with willwoods in front ...

Thanks I thought id get flamed for asking but im happy i didnt.

I checked the video out again and their is a white one to at some point.

I Knew it ! I wasnt sure i saw this right. Im glad someone else saw it to ,nice Red 240Z.

What gearing does the quaife has 3:90 ?

Thanks alot im fearing less the day that ill have to do this now. And the shifter seems to line up to the original hole does it ?

As long as the diode has the same amp and volt spec it should be ok.
