- In this episode I’ll be restoring the rusty nuts, bolts and brackets on my car by Zinc Nickel plating them.
Kits by Classic Plating:
Zinc Nickel Plating Kit - classic-platin...
Electrolytic Cleaning Kit - classic-platin...
What current to use when plating?
That should be 100ma per square inch. You need to measure/estimate the surface area of the item you are plating, eg item is 3 inches x 4 inches thats 12 square inches. Now double it so that you include the back so that's now 24 square inches. For that you will need a current of 2.4 Amps.
Those fittings came out really nice, Neil - and you definitely made the right choice with the gold 👌
I can see you taking on a full restoration in the future 😎
Thanks, yeah, they do take a while to do but do lookk nice after. Most probably in the future i'll set about restoring a classic or something.
Жаль у нас таких комплектов для гальванике не продают, Я б тоже хотел попробовать.
its just fantastic job man
Can I point that longer content would be greatly welcome.
Thanks Nikos, will try
Pro tip: watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Lance Thiago yea, been using flixzone for since november myself :)
Rusty nuts on valentines....is probably not what you want... :)
6 buckets... its bad enoughf having 2 to wash the car...
why do these 350s rust sooo much...

"While I am in there..." LOL
When I saw you pimping your garage, I thought ‘bit much...’. Love the fact you’re properly using it! I would be so scared of all those chemicals!!
A new Ratarossa and a new Road and Race video, to brighten up my Sunday evening. Nice!
Cheers!
Wow, not scared to put in the work mate. Will be well worth it. I've done 'similar' restoration on my e46 last year, with full underside coating and new bushes etc, but not to such detail. Hats off!
Thanks mate. Good work on that E46!
Love the channel, just wish you would post more often. Perhaps you could buy a budget sports hatch / coupe and make a series of upgrading and tuning said car. Would love to follow that.
Every video I decide I need to buy a new item 😃
Great video as always. Have you considered hydrogen embrittlement? The higher the tensile strength of the steel part, the more they get embrittled by the plating process. De-embrittlement is a particular oven bake process, and when I take my parts for zinc and passivate I always request de-embrittlement. Thought it worth a mention...
Also; don’t forget that poly bushes introduce a bearing surface that is not present in metalastic bushes (the rubber just stretches) and they often squeak badly after a few miles. Stiffer metalastic bushes sometimes provide a better solution but are often hard to find in the sizes.
Keep up the great work 👍
I’m over here just trying to be TommyFyeah
I’m starting to feel that beanie’s gonna become permanent like Scotty kilmers glasses
Brick acid is what I use for stripping paint and rust
Great fun to watch
You should do pro vo you have such a smooth voice
this is very cool
Hi, interesting stuff 👌
ask you something, i have RHD 350z, i got Borla headers, do you know will fit or not? thanks 🙏
I've been looking at doing the same thing with some of the rusty bolts on my CBR900RR. from what I've seen in my limited (this evenings) TH-cam experience, the process can be done much cheaper and easier using readily available products.
I'll try them first as they'll cost a few quid and fingers crossed, they'll work. Otherwise, I'll be back here to make a shopping list 😂
Hi there, been checking out your videos and they’re amazing, have been interested in buying a 350z for a long time, recently found an 04 with 50,000 miles for £8000, I had a look under the rear and there was some flaky rust, is there any advice you might have in regards to whether it is a worthwhile purchase? Thanks ever so much
Thanks for the video, already got the plating kit so that explanation was very helpful.
Lovely Jubbly, another short but informative video, a slightly longer one would be better.
Can i have name of product plating zinc colour?
Awesome video! Can't wait for the next one, I need to replace some banana arms on my 350 so look forward to see what you do with yours to give me some inspiration of what else to do while its in bits. Thanks!
Bead blaster might be a good investment aswell
Would be nice. Know where I could get a cheap one?
@@RoadandRacetv ermmm my current workplace is closing down! And they have 2 they’re getting rid of I can get in touch and see what they’re doing with them. If not eBay vixen are good. You can get wet blast aswell but a bit more space consuming. Really miss your e92 m3 btw I’m in the market for a black manual like yours was!
@@stagsterprogaming Cheers Louis, that'd be great if you could find out. Yeah, I miss the M3 as well. Amazing car it just cost me £70 in petrol whenever I made a jouney in it!
@@RoadandRacetv I’ll try and find out any info and pass it your way. Just out of curiosity what does the m3 mpg compare to your 350z?
can you be arsed, seriously xD good job though!
Nice! Just used this kit on my project too. I used my car battery for power supply with current controller they provide.
Nice work!
Non nerdy explanation..brilliant.
Fair play for going to this level of detail.
Bloody Renault's 🤣
Dumb q, does the process smell?
And we'll done, I'd have given up ages ago!
It smell a bit. Nothing too bad through. Thanks!
Totally blown away by the results, I like it so much! Would have gone for the gold, too .
Great job, really!
Thank you very much!
just 19 easy steps!
Xylan coated bolts nuts are good
How does one do that?
@@RoadandRacetv I just purchase them online. Not sure if there’s a solution where you can do them yourself at home like you’ve done though.
@@stagsterprogaming Cheers.
I love Gooooooold
You do great work
Awesome mate, some mad science there 😀
Tell me about it!
Great video mate! I think if you could just find consistency on your uploads (once or twice a week) and on top of these restoration and "on car working" videos add some vlogs or story videos, your channel could grow exponantially because you certianlly have potential!
Thanks Dino. What do you suggest for the vlogs or story videos?
@@RoadandRacetv So, I would divide the story videos into two: your own experience with something related to cars, like how did you first learn how to drive a car, your experience from a crash ( if you've had one) or the time you got pulled over. The second part would be stories related to the car world, something like donut media's videos. For example you can tell stories of how certain cars influenced the UK car market or go over forgotten manufacturers and things like that. Now for the vlogs, I would suggest videos of how you get parts for your cars, like ordering, picking the parts up and kind of update the viewers on some ideas and projects you have planned. And another idea that I see a lot of people suggest is basically buy a cheap car, fix it up and sell and just go from there.
Kind regards!
@@dinorizvic9423 Thanks mate for the sugestions. Will give it some thought.
Plating your rusty nuts, sounds painful
