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)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
