Day 2:
Painted the block flat black with high temp enamel. Silver head, once again, high temp. Exhaust manifold and turbo hot side, flat black, high temp. Valve covers are an extremely dark blue. Front timing cover is also gloss black.
Still more work to be done, but its getting there.

Mocked up...






And at the end of the day...I had some extra paint. Flame as you must, but I think its *%&**%&**%&**%&*in bad a**. Nobody will ever see it, but Ill know its there :xxrofl:




Anyways, heres and update on the harness issue...
OK so I got ahold of Chris at Osaka today and this is the deal.
He said isntead of having me send the harness back to them, and then them sending me another one, that I should find a shop to repair the harness, get a quote, and then Osaka would pay me that amount to fix the harness.
Should I do it? Opinions?
First shop that came to mind was Raw Brokerage, as they seem pretty legit and recommended on here. This is the email that I sent them.

Hey guys I got a question for you.
I ordered a motor from Osaka JDM Motors. Its an RB25DET Series 1. When I got the motor, part of the harness was cut. Right past the grommet, on the engine bay side. It kinda branches off from the main harness.. Its about 10-15 wires.
I contacted them and they said instead of having me send the harness to them, that I should find someone to repair the harness for me, and that they would send me the money to pay the repair shop.
So Im wondering, do you guys repair harnesses, and to get a quote would I have to send it to you guys?
Let me know, thanks!!!
