Armourall extreme tyre shine. It doesnt stick on the tyre properly, consequensly it flies off the tyre and will go around the guards and when you wash the car the paintwork will go all specaly. My cars black so it wasnt too bad, but its damaged the paintwork (cut and polish should fix it) but it shouldnt have happened in the first place.

90% of tyre shines are silicone based and hence why it looks to make your paint go silly........ what u should try and do is use whatever tyre shine you use (armourall etc) and put it on and when it starts to disapear wipe as much as you can off with a soft rag...... and note: if you "spray" it of from too far away it will get on your paint anyway so do it close and take it easy......another thing i can tell you is that here at repco or atuobarn you can buy a spray can of tyre shine with a black tin with white writing and a BLUE lid...its really cheap and it doesnt flick off and its very effective but it only lasts a day or two...its like $2 a can.... i hope this may help you in some way shape of form..... i am a car detailer by trade so if you have any more questions feel free to ask me........Jon

I use the maguiars tyre stuff and then windex to clean anything on the car afterwards... works miracles...

altho my car hasn't been washed in the last 4 or 5 months lol

johnson's baby prodcts are mad... they're so mild yet soooo effective

just spray it on dont usually have to even wipe it off gives a nice finish

i even use it on the colt, the wheels are black so i spray them they look new, i spray the tyres, beautiful, i spray the bumpers the colt turns imaculate :)

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
