Hey guys, i just got my car from the docks and i cleaned it today to find that the right rear fender has an area of like 20x10cms which is screwed. It seems there was a sticker there or somethin and it has left a huge mark on the paint.

I tried to clean it off with the car detergent and that did nothing, so i tried assorted cleaners to no avail, so i finally went to the shop and bought some prepsol.

Anyway it did nothin. Im stumped. My cousin who used to detail cars thinks it needs a cut and polish. Hmmm i wish i could post a pic so u could see what i mean.

To best describe it, it looks like someone peeled off a huge sticker and left the reside or whateva it is that a sticker leaves behind.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

my guess is.. if it was a sticker it should have come off by now..

give it a good cut and polish.. and that should do the trick...

you could buy a little bottle of sticker remover.. and try that.. to see if it was a sticker...

but i think sticker remover is just like nail polish remover/toner/acetone.. sum shit like that

if all else fails..

try some turpentine .. j/k

the best way to get any sort of glue off of the duco is to use laquer thinner. Dont worry it doesnt damage the paint.I used it to get the GTS-t sticker off of my R33. Make sure that you get all of the smudge marks off cause it will look really crap. You can get it from the local hardware for about 10 bucks.:D

something that CAN happen is that some stickers have something in the adhesive that doesnt like paint too much..... if it has affected the paint a panel shop should be able to snick it back and cut and polish the area for stuff all to get her lookin like new....its hard to say without seeing it first hand...... but if prepsol and polish doesnt work then id say its semi permanant..... :P

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
