Just spent 5hrs washing, claying, polishing and waxing car.

Not happy with the autoglym super resin polish. Didnt cut enough. Need to use a stronger cutting compound to restore my paint.. hehe

Too tired to get proper pictures, maybe tomorrow

Phaw!!! Looks mint! i wouldnt change a thing

Thanks mate. It's like a brand new car. Less than 60000k's with full service history, and less than 20000k's since 1996.

Not really planning on changing anything which is damn hard when there's a GTR in the garage :-)

Maybe the wheels, and I'm adding an oil cooler next week for protection, but that'll be it i think :down:

Looks damn good in my books mate.

I have never really understood what the clay part does though.

Thanks for the comment :)

if you run your fingers over the paintwork on your car, you might feel a lot of bumps which you cant see.

Claybar is a peice of clay which you slide across the paint which sticks to these bumps(microscopic dirt/imperfections) and pulls them out of the paint. Leaving a real smooth paint afterward.

Rekin, looks tops mate :)

I can't see what you're worried about from those pics. Paint looks pretty good.

haha, wasnt too impressed over the autoglym super resin polish. $30 for 375ml's expected a real good cut.

Although reading some fine print on the internet, they say to do 2-3 coats of the polish to get a good result.

Although it be quite hard to squeeze 3 coats out of a 300ml bottle...

Just finished washing my car and decided to take a few shots. Should have taken it out of the shade

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
