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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
