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

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
