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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
