Meguiars products. Bit more expensive, but worth it. I use their polish and wax, and some interior stuff, looking for the plastic cleaner to do headlights, but can't find it anywhere.

I use cheaper stuff for tyres and rims, I have found all of the rim cleaners I have tried are very similar in result.

Mostly use meguires but I find as far as a quick polish goes i usually use Eagle one - it requires less elbow grease as Meguires and I cant complain the way it brings the car up.

Why oh why did i buy black haha

OK, I've been biting my tongue for a while now, but I've had enough. You seem quite oblivious of this fact, but a web browser will AUTO WORD WRAP POSTS! Yes, its amazing, isn't it? Ever wondered why everyone elses posts take up 12+ words a line while yours only take up 35 characters? Its because they aren't pressing enter when they run out of room in the text box. And no, a new line is no subsitute for commas, fullstops and other punctuation.

I always thought room temperature IQ was all that's needed to post on forums, but its time to rethink that one.

Anyone who thinks I'm being too harsh should consider that well constructed sentences is the only thing seperating us from the teens on fast fours forums or the gits on irc. Written communication is vital to get your point across and poor form reflects on the forum itself. To quote a favourite forum of mine, "All of us who spend any significant time on the Internet know that written communication apparently is at the bottom of most message board posters' priority lists. From horrendous spelling to unrecognizable grammar, people make idiots out of themselves every day... and most don't care."

Nice one Gradenko, I think you speak from all us here. Adrian, I like you, but stop hitting enter, cover it up if your that unco that you can't not hit it.

Back on Topic:

I use Brasso for my headlights, it works good, but does need reapplication every 2 weeks to stay looking good. I've heard Mothers is good, but have no idea where to buy it from.

See'ya:burnout:

Meguires on the outside....

go to www.mequires.com and hunt down their online car protection guide... it asks you a heap of questions about where you live, what your cars exposed to, and (essentially) how much you care about your car.... adn then puts together a program for you based on your answers.... (not all the products listed are easily available here unfortunately, but with a bit of hunting, you should be able to get them, or something very similar)

On the inside, i don;t use much except for the armourall 'new car' cleaner.... similar to normal armour all, only with a lemon scent...

and Paul, I'm pretty sure you can pick up Mothers at Marlows, same as Meguirs, it's just that their range is pretty limited.... Wonder if somewhere like the PPG distributor would have a decent range of car care products?

Maybe one of Perths "premier" speed shops should start carrying it... :-)

(BTW, Speedworks/WheelsWorld stock Swissol cleaning gear, which is apparently better than Meguirs/Mothers, but not cheap)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
