  1. I received this message via Facebook this morning after posting on Duplicolors wall asking about clear coats. They promptly responded with this: Hey Matt, My name is Steve. I work with Dupli-Color. I responded to your message that you posted on our Facebook page. I wanted to send you a private message regarding your plan to use RustOleum on your car. This is something we wouldn't recommend, especially the roll-on application they promote. If you're using a HVLP spray gun we would recommend the Dupli-Color Paint Shop line. It is specifically formulated for automotive applications, and on top of that it is easy to use. As a thank you for being our fan on Facebook, I'd like to offer you some Paint Shop product. Attached is a link to our color offering. Let me know what color you want, where to ship it, and the type of vehicle (so I know how much paint to send) and I'll send you the product for free. All we would ask is that you post some pics on Facebook when you're done. Paint Shop requires the use of a HVLP spray gun as well. http://www.facebook....id=132460550435 FREE PAINT!!! Someone help me pick out a color!
  2. Yeah, I used new gaskets. It doesn't seem to be leaking on my block off. But I'm pretty sure I found the culprit. Then here's mine...
  3. I've seen that build somewhere. I know he;s on here. If I'm right, it's green now.
  4. Theres my EGR block off. I'm going to go ahead and reset my idle speed, mixture, and all that crap to factory specs and see what it does. I'm gonna see about checking for leaks at my EGR, because I think that's contributing to the problem. The OldDatsuns.com tech for the 32/36 isn't working either :( http://www.nwde.org/extras/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3467&KW
  5. Am I going to need to drive allllll the way over there to make you happy?
  6. Let me know if you find any shows coming up I'll PM some other GA guys, and maybe we cab get some interest.
  7. For that stuff, I check Ratsun.net :P
  8. I'll get a picture after work. That's what I'm thinking, but I'm just speculating. I DO have a gasket on it and it is the proper gasket, but if the metal isn't perfectly flat, it will never work. Would JB weld work to seal it?
  9. Vac seems good, but like you said, you never know. I had to fidget with it since it only has one vaccum port, and my vac lines are for 2 with the old Hitachi. I think I had an exhaust leak coming from my EGR. Is it possible that is causing or at least contributing? If you listen in the second video you can hear a whistling that seems more prominent at high RPM's that I only heard for that one time. This time I'm smelling exhaust around my EGR port that I blocked off with a piece of sheet metal that I cut last night.
  10. You can get those Z rims pretty cheap on craiglist, it's just hard to find them. I see them for generally 100-200$ in good condition. A15 is a very reliable and strong running engine, and it has plenty of mods available. Some just get pretty pricey.
  11. Nothings been touched since the last car it was on. How can I check the idle jet without pulling the carb apart? The adapter is sealed, so there should be no leak. It runs fine above idle.
  12. I'm having problems with my new Weber 32/36 that I installed. Hooked everything but the choke and throttle lines up, because I can work that by hand. The car won't idle, at first I thought it was because the engine was cold, but after it warmed up it was still not idling, and if I opened the choke the slightest bit, it would drop the high idle slightly and start missing. No idle at ALL!! Take 1. Take 2.
  13. Rims! Get some 6 spoke Z rims and slap them on it. Some fender mount mirrors, flares, and spacers and it would look cool as hell. Also, you need a bigger engine man. The A14 is just so underpowered in these cars. The A15 with small mods makes a world of a difference comparing to its smaller predecessors.
  14. Opinions on the color for metal flake????
