I pulled the old wiper motor off my car to clean up. Seems someone decided that spraying it black with a spray pack was a good idea... One thing I do like about the old 70's stuff is it's serviceable meaning it can be pulled apart and put back together. I sent the alloy body away to be hydroblasted, the metal away for zinc plating and I cleaned up some of the screws. A word of advice if you're looking to do the same, the rivets used to hold the bearing in the end of the rotor housing are alloy. When the housing was pickled before plating they dissolved and the bearing assembly fell out. Lukily the strong magnet it the housing held the parts in so they were not lost. If I did this again, I'd drill them out prior to plating. The bearing was slightly melted and had to be ground out so the rotor would run smooth then I pop riveted the internals back in. I had to drill out the alloy rivets used to hold the plug in place too, I replaced them with some M3x15 screws with nylon nuts and a pop rivet which worked well. Anyhow the finished unit came up looking good! I also picked up a tool kit from which I cleaned up Got the boot and bonnet latches back from plating also.

Got a pic or something? Not sure what that part is. I'm sure one of us will have a spare Have you checked - About Time Spares - Nissan/Datsun - new old stock spare parts

Nice pic. Cheers.

Awesome.

Yeah it will sell, but with 3713 feedback, I wonder if it's a company?

Yeah I was surprised also, it's always worth bidding to your limit, if you win, yay!

If you're bidding 10k sight unseen, you're going to have a bad day.

Yeah I reckon, what can you do hey Yep, got them. I've got a set that I've had dipped an zinc plated which I was rebuilding. I'll complete them and put them up for sale now.

Anything that has been resprayed like that deserves caution.

Interesting.

Nice score on the sun visors, I wonder if we were bidding again each other . Awesome stickers too!

Top isn't original, bottom is.

Haha, EXACTLY the pictures I was looking at too.

That's a good buy. Provided the interior is in good condition etc it's a VERY good start.

Yeah they are, but all three horn buttons are one piece which connects in behind the wheel/hornpad.

It's a tough call huh. I always wonder what color I should do mine, white or silver. On the flares, I've often wondered if they are black or silver, looking at some Hi-Res images though, they look satin black?

Yeah, when you pull out the horns it leaves a big gap. The GTR's must have a spacer so I made one up from MDF. I'm going to angle the edge. I'll post it up.

Yeah, I've seen that one!

Yeah I removed mine and made a spacer.

Just looked at their web site, some awesome stuff. Couldn't find much sticker info though. Will have to check it out when I'm there.

I'll take a look, I think I pulled one out of my blue console. Not sure of the condition though. Will let you know.

Cheers mate.

You're pretty lucky by the looks of it! Seems like a really clean car, I'm jelly! Seems most good blasters use a mix of mediums. What did the blasting and etch prime (I assume it was primed?) cost if you don't mind me asking?

I can't see it being a terribly difficult conversion. 26/30's are built all the time. I had a chat with a good mate of mine who owns a nice GTR workshop when I was thinking about this and he recommends the 25 head over the 26 head though. The 25 head has VVT on the intake side which is better for N/A power. I've seen HKS VCAM set up's on 26's but pretty sure they are not made anymore.
