  1. ^ That looks so sexy, well done and thanks for sharing.
  2. Thanks for sharing mate, looks absolutely fantastic.
  3. Thanks mate. Hard to put a dollar figure on the products, it depends what size bottles you get - etc.
  4. Hello, Nice to meet you and good luck with your search. Are there many stock R32 GTR's left over there? It was very hard for me to find a completely stock R34 GTR and I wanted a particular colour and spec. And the clean close to stock ones over there cost just as much as they did over here in Aus (and thats before you even got them on to the boat + compliance - etc).
  5. Hello, Coupe or Sedan? Cheers.
  6. Definately need to be cautious mate, nothing wrong with that.
  7. Thanks mate, if I end up tracking down a black set - i'll shoot you through a PM and i'm sure we'll work something out. Cheers.
  8. Thanks for letting me know mate - no worries, I understand.
  9. Bump, still searching.
  10. Update. Car has been running 100% since my last post (touch wood). Issue was definately with the air flow meters. Cheers.
  11. Thanks mate. Definately post up some pics in a thread if you get a chance, I'd love to see them. I will post more pics in this thread as I complete detailing each part.
  12. Thank you mate. I would love to see your car one day. I've always admired it in photos.
  13. Thanks mate. Buffers get heavier the longer you hold them dont they. You are right about the dust residue, mainly with the Meguiars compound - it dusts alot harder than Menzerna. I tape up all the holes, gaps and rubbers on the body to simplify the cleaning of the dust. And pick up as much of it as I can with Microfibre towels as I go through the process. I also ensure I also dont use too much product on the pads, as obviously only a small portion of it bonds to the paint, the rest is just wasted and also very hard to remove. Simple trick - I occasionally spray a light mist of either Meguiars Quick Detailer or Mothers Showtime on the buffing pad to keep it slightly wet and prevent dusting.
  14. Thanks mate, I use a DAS-6 Pro from carcareproducts.com.au with Lake Country pads.
  15. Had a few requests, pic of my Nismo pedals is attached. Cheers.
  16. ^ Look fantastic, well done. I just finished the process on my R34. Made a thread with pics and details, but thought i'd attach a few here too. More pics are in - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/400712-my-bayside-blue-r34-vspec-gtr-finally-detailed/ Cheers.
  17. Hi Everyone, I love detailing. Just finished the process on my R34 Vspec GTR and thought i'd share the results. Took me 12.5 hours in total over a 2 day period, done with my DA polisher + Lake Country pads and microfibre towels. As a high level summary, the items i used in order are - 1) Meguiars Nxt Generation car wash (With Meguiars microfibre pad and chamois) 2) Meguiars smooth surface clay bar kit 3) Rubber masking with 3M blue tape and newspaper over windows, wheels - etc 4) Meguiars Ultimate Compound (Lake Country Wool pad, followed by orange foam pad) 5) 2000 / 3000 grit wet sand (focusing on areas needing the attention) 6) Mothers Powerball mini with Meguiars Ultimate Compound on hard to reach areas 7) Meguiars Ultimate Polish (With Lake Country White foam pad) 8) Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax (With Lake Country blue foam pad) 9) Meguiars Plastx with Mothers Powerball mini on all lights 10) Autosol metal polish with another Mothers Powerball mini for exhaust 10) Meguiars Nxt Generation car wash (With Meguiars microfibre pad and chamois) 11) Polish residue removal with a tooth brush and artists brush) Im no pro, but I do recommend the Meguiars 'Ultimate' line, i've ended up with the smooth as glass swirl free finish I desired. I've also used the Menzerna Fast Gloss line previously with similar successful results. It all depends how much time and patience you have to stand there jeweling the paint. For me, next its on to the rubber restoration piece and glass polishing. Then its the engine bay and interior. Cant wait to put her vspec front diffuser back on, the car looks so much more agressive with it. I've just had it refinished in the original satin black. Brand new GTR badges are also on the way. After the detailing proess, I took some close up photos of the common wear and tear areas to share. Enjoy.
  18. No worries, call Daniel at Carbon Car systems. I know he has them readily available, maybe he can post one to you? Cheers.
  19. Here you go. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/35129-im-buying-a-skyline-what-should-i-look-for/ Have a read if you do decide to move forward with purchasing one. Should help you find a good example and potentially answer some of the other questions which are bound to pop up while searching.
