  1. Lol thanks. I been looking for it.

     

     

    Okay here are some videos of the 280zx.

     

    This one is with the cat only connected from the front bolts and left open right after.

    So I hit up the local auto parts store bought some grade 8 bolts that where about 4 dollers and connected the cat back to see how that was, and what a difference it was. Will be uploading video of how quiet it is later on as i didnt get a chance at the time.

  2. Ahh okay I had no idea primer was hygroscopic, always went with it for the price mainly. So cheap. Do they sell the epoxy at normal auto parts stores? Im probably not searching hard enough. 

     

    Lol, I thought there was, just wasnt sure it it was on ratsun or not.

  3. Update 4/16/13

    Finally an update on Sally. With pictures and videos. I apologize for the videos before hand. I thought id try something new.

     

    First I started to sand down quarter panel surface rust, that I didnt get to the previous time I tried to sand it and primer it. Rust was going through primer. So motivation kicked in because the vehicles had to be moved due to code complience. *thumbs down.

     

    So I thought we where gonna park the car with a friend or something, so I was like since I have time right now ill take on the task. And heres how it started.

    Hit it with the Sanding block mostly, and I have to say I was really suprised how well the block worked

    Gave it about 4 counts of primer, just to make sure surface rust doesnt go through it.

    Still had half the day left. So I just said F it and painted the dash metal skeleton with some undercoating I had saved up from my z31. Was gonna do a rising sun on it, but that'll be in the near future.

    Sorry for the sideways video, was still trying to figure out my phone.

     

    th_video-2013-04-12-12-41-38_zps7d21b7b3

     

    Then had to finish it up with black spray paint, since the undercoating finished on me. :(
