Yep i agree with the above, did wonders for my car once it got off the boat... they have a full cut polish and also a middle-of-the -road one which isn't quite so abrasive, i think it's called a "cleaner" or something to remove dirt/grime and oxidised paint. crystal finish somethingorother. ah heck you'll find it!

I think its Eagle one hmmmm trying to think but they do the wet shine tyres and their polish brings my car up like glass - ive also got maguires wet shine but it smudges for me - then again some days i just cant be bothered putting any effort in - its like im only doing this because my car looks gun metal grey when it really should be black. All i can say is what you pay for is what u get and if u can grab hold of armoural wipes for the inside of your car - do so! They are like baby wipes but you go over you vinyl/leather dash and steering wheel etc with them and they really do a good job specially if you car is sitting in sun all day.

If you have a black car dont even think of cutting the paint work back yourself unless you know what you are doing because it will just end up looking crap full of swirl marks in the sunlight best to let the pros do it but you could try meguiar's scratch-x it works good on black paint and then try some meguiar's gold class wax:uh-huh:

I tried the turtle wax, with the chip stick... The wax itself is colour coded (just get the same shade as your car, e.g. red, blue etc).

It did cover up a 2" scratch on my boot lid and looks less obvious unless you come very close. I may do it again to get another layer for better protection.

Always a good idea to do it once every few months I suppose, but of course not every week.

In my opinion Armourall is rubbish - ie too greasy/slimy, you can always tell if someone has used it. The Meguiars plastic cleaner is better, lasts longer, looks more 'natural' and you wont slide right out of your car.....

Yepp, that's what I use.

The last time I polished the car was about 12 months ago, and it still looks great after a wash.

Hay one thing - has anyone used one of those electric buffer things that you can buy for $40-50 bucks???

Are they any good??

It would make the job sooooo much quicker.

i got one of them buffers the other day lol... i'm gonna use it on my black car tommz, I'll let youse know how it goes...

It was on sale in Marlows from $60 to $20 (with a discount coz my mate owrked there).

I now have to find gold class hard wax by maguiars. I use the liquid one and it works wonders but liquid wax tends to fly off the buffer.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
