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!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
