hey peoples

this is a bit wierd... i chucked some water on the front of my car the other day to try clean the bonnet / front bumper... i noticed though that the headlights seemed to be covered by this white stuff... so i washed em again and again and with spray/wipe etc etc... and when the water is on the headlights the white stuff goes away, then a minute or 2 later it cames back.. it seems to be inside the headlight..

anyways so i thought maybe its moisture so i left the headlights / engine on for a bit to dry it out.. but it doesnt seem to be moisture.. its like some actual white stuff... evan when i clean it 10000 times with 100 diff cleaning products it still comes back with a white layer on it :)

kinda anoyed because all i literaly did was through some water over the car...something ive done 1000 times... anyone have any ideas what this white stuff could be (and lets all be mature about this please :P ) ?? or how the hell to clean it off ????????????

:(;):spank:

thanks heaps :spank:

ok im going to officialy say the using toothpaste to brighten your headlights rumour is a load of crap :P

the white stuff is still on the headlights tho grr :( it goes away when u pour water on it.. then comes bak a minute or 2 later

ok peoples after trying every single product in the laundry / toothpaste / turtlewax car polish.. ive found the winning product :P

this car shampoo stuff called 'vip car shampoo'

the headlights are reeaaaallly shiny as well now :(

I have some tube-paste stuff that worked for a while... but my lights keep fogging over like crazy. There are two spots where it HASN'T fogged over, in different places on each lens.

I bought Maguire's PlastiX... it kinda works like the rest, but the fog comes back in a weeks time. I'm not game to polish the lights, as i'll prolly end up polishing all the panels around the lights and stuffing it right up!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
