black and polished always works best...thats why harleys always do it...its high maintenance but the results are worthy.. :thumbsup:

how clean is your undercariage, hose it down and soak all your suspensions in wd40, rinse and repeat till it looks clean, clean out your brakes..costs next to nothing and will get you respect points at the hoist as well..

nice work :). when i first read WD and brakes i was like :O, then i realised you didnt leave them on for the WDing.

need to paint my calipers before doing anything like that, i still have inner plastics in my wheel arches that i keep clean :)......till i rip them out on a bump.

hehe..i cleaned the calipers with brakecleen and hot water with some dishawashing liquid..dropped all the little parts in some aluminium wash stuff called aluplus or somtehing, its kind of like the stuff your grandma uses to clean brass and cutlery but more toxic, it actually stipped the coating off some of the bolts :nuke: ....cleaned the pads up with some hot water and a scourer...also pinched the scrubber brush from the kitchen sink, missus wasnt too happy about that

yeah thats usually how it starts hey, takes 2 hours to pull it all apart and 2 months to get it all back together again...

Hahaha..... Soooooooo true.

Oh and BTW I told you god knows how long ago polishing is for mugs :)

well i got my wheels polishes properly and they look mint, but just had a bottle of wheel polish next to me while i was putting the brakes together so i though id have a go...one bolt was as far as I got and i didnt even finish it .. >_<

but i tell ya wd40 is the shit..i have degreased under my car heaps of times with various products and got nothing but lacklustre results..discovered wd40 is only 7$ a can at bunnings and thats the big can, half the price of auto shops..I let loose 2 cans under my whole car and it looks like new..everything is shiny black instead of dusty brown..And it stays black even after it dries unlike the cheapy crap degreaser....

    • I am well aware as I did rant at him to buy a MX5, buy the 2.5 before he DIY'ed it, etc as well as do things to the holden. He will obtain a ND. It's the best of both worlds. They look great in person, definitely the best looking one. Just a matter of time now.
    • Remember this is the same person who said he’d never own an nc 
    • ouch! how is the car now?I had sold my gtr but have been looking into some on trademe and a 260RS but I wouldnt be keen on any repairs needed on them
    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
