is ur bitch (marc) going to be the one doing that? i can see him doing it hehe

u know what u shoulda done, just walk out without paying :(

ummm you sure you wanna know that shane :(

well he didnt say his legs are sore or anything like that *shrugs*

2 days...is that all? :P

how much of that time is actually washing/waxing though?

flat out for both days lol...but that does include wash, coat of paint cleaner, coat of polish, coat of synthetic wax & a coat of natural wax

yep they certainly are, and the back is usually shot too...i wouldnt even think of using a power buff! as they just put swirls in and can even scratch the paint if ur not careful! (when waxing/polishing u should NEVER work in a circular motion, that only puts swirls in it)

I've never even used one...I would like to hear if anyone has used one and if they are any good. I imagine that the pad used would make a huge difference to the affect on your paintwork (good or bad)

what car products do u use karen?

meguiars...I used to use their professional range, but have started buying the new Tech range now...the ones in the purple and bright green containers. Its not for everyone, but I have always been happy with the results and my paintwork on my car speaks for itself really :(

Shane i was working on the little car in my signature till about midnight last night and midnight the night before aswell. I am racing to night so was just getting maintainence and repairs done.

i use a combo of johnsons & johnsons baby shampoo (yes, u heard correct), meguiars (polish n paint cleaner), autoglym (synthetic wax) & turtlewax (carnuaba wax)

thats it, if the paint on ur car looks great, then theres no reason to change hey :)

I use one...I was getting crap results (Swirling and stuff), then I realised it is doing all the work for you and you dont have to push down hard inorder for it to work! After that I got excellent and painless results!

OK people question

Do you stay with a very cruisy, good but not great paid job that is not very challenging...or do you take a well paid job, that will likely work you like a dog and challange you

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
