My S1 obviously had TV aerials mounted on the roof with some form of double sided sticky. I've got the little mounting plates off but dont know what to use to get the mgoo/rubbery stuff off the roof without damaging the duco. Have tried petrol and turps but it didn't work.

Any clues please?

Prepsol or any wax and grease remover, most places carry it in some form

sorry i did try eucalyptus oil.

I dont think illbe trying HCl.

Not all Stageas have them, only the ones wit TV or SatNav.

Havnt tried MEK yet. Have togo down to Surfers for it.

id say its probably eurathane and id say try prepsol if not ask the local panel beater.

you have to be carefull with the paint as mek may react with the duco.

Finally got some goo remover. K+H Surface Technologies WAX&GREASE REMOVER. Its an aerosol. Does not affect duco.You also need a long strong thumb nail.

got the goo off the roof of mine today i used 2 stroke fuel and it slowly disolved what looked like silicone from under the double sided tape it took about 1 hr to do both then cut and pollished the area.apart from the assholes who removed them putting a couple of scratches up there (only small) where they prised them off with a screwdriver it came up well.

The wheelsofprogress turn slowly in Stagealand. :D:)

I used some stuff called "UHU Goo-remover" to remove my badges.

I find rubbing it really hard with your finger works too, when the goo gets hot it just rubs off.

I would image using a heat gun of sorts and a platic knife would work better.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
