Thanks for all the good feedback guys it helps lift me from some dark places
Bob why paint nails when the majority of them are in wood ... just paint the head lol
now that I got my little batch of mushies out of the way it is back to the build.
Painted up the alternator and starter motor, amassed all the pipework (lots) and made up a connection for to fit fuel pipe to which has to be high pressure so I simply copied the original from the pressure regulator and made one on the lathe out of a 12mm bolt

I had a reel of black plastic expandable overbraid which I have used to freshen all my pipework .....it was all in good condition so why buy fancy silicone ones at extortionate prices when this stuff can tidy up the pipework very nicely ....I thought about stainless, but then when I tried this I thought it understates the engine a little which I found appealing ....you all know me by now and I like to be different/challenging ....anyway this is what I mean

the over braid works well..

As you say no point spending on stuff that is not needed, can be done as a summer upgrade after iVA

Ohh did not realise that you are running a CA18DET Sweet! Great to see another nissan lump here. Will keep an eye on your thread. What are you going to do regards to the ECU? I'm thinking of a megasquirt for my RB.

looking good kev, have to say personally im not a fan of overbraid the problem with it is that you cannot see if the pipe is perished underneath, but each to their own
