Hey guys as stated above, I know Mavrics cousin (Gavin) does car detailing but i just spoke to him and he said the cost for him to hire the steam cleaner and do it wouldnt be worth it. He mentioned that he can shampoo and clean most stuff, but i need to get the tobacco smell out of my car. He said try and get a place that already steam cleans to do it.

So im looking for a good place that will steam clean my car, if anyone can recommened a place that would be great!!

Im in Eastern Suburbs.

Ps. Gavin from Xtremeline car detailing (Mavs cousin) was very helpful, sounds the goods.

Thanks guys,

mark.

You could hire a Britex machine from Coles and give it a go yourself.

I use these to steamclean our carpets at home, I'm pretty sure there is a small nozel which could work for a car.

Perhaps worth checking them out to see if it is suitable.

Otherwise there is a couple of car cleaning places at Knox City - im sure they'd do it for you.

Hey Bec,

Thanks for the suggestion, ill get a place that knows what they are doing as im sure ill stuff something up :fakenopic: If the temp of the steam cleaner is not right or their is to much water, Gavin was saying how it can bring the dirt up from deep within the seat and not clean it properly etc.

May have to start looking around, but was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations/experiences so i know im leaving my car with someone who will do the job right.

Cheers,

Mark.

i remember chatting to a guy who was steam cleaning mums carpet and seats etc., he said he also does cars and they come up pretty good...

remmember he said something like 40 bucks for front and back seats..

i will see if mum still has his number, but i suggest you call carpet cleaners and ask to see if they will do your car..

I've had cars done in a few places in Ringwood and Boronia...The place in Boronia did an awseom job on my FTO when I got it new...called Protech.

In ringwood me and my mates have used Tankards (I think)they have done some decent work...usually u they all clean they whole car...not just the seats..costs about $100.

Sounds pret sweet, may have to venture down that way.

Anyone know any near Bulleen/Doncaster, or any mobile ones that come to you?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
