Off the boat from Japan. Just a peek.   TE37 Magnesium put aside for LMGT1   Not detailed for a while yet. After compliance, it should happen.   Titaniu

Car looks mint.

Looks tough with all those blind corners and sweepers. How was the under steer?

yer some corners, by the end, you knew was there even though you couldnt see them. you just had to hold your nerve and power through.

Had a bit of understeer in the real tight stuff right up the top. but on such a narrow track it felt like a huge car compared to it

Thanks mate.

I just use the old fashion spray painters trick i was taught when i was panel beating and spray painting..

After the respray i wetsanded with 2000 grit and used some Maguires swirl x remover with a wool pad.

Next step i repeated this process but with maguires ultimate compound with a wool pad - make sure you buff the hazzyness out before polishing.

Now i start the polishing.

I use Autosmart Cherry Glaze.

I apply it to 1 panel at a time nice and thick and with a new wool pad i buff the polish in on a low speed setting untill the hazzyness is gone and its like a mirror.

After iv done that i reapply polish on the car by hand and leave it overnight before wiping it off with a cloth nappy.

Thats how i get the result in the second pic.

Upclose you can tell the difference after its done its like a mirror.

The only think you have to keep doing is polishing after every wash.

The 2nd photo was taken a month ago and i washed the car today for the first time since then and it was dirty but come up like new again and its in the shed with polish on it now ill be getting off before work at 7am in the morning.

Im getting a few touch ups done on the car so ill make a video when im doing it to post on the diy section

Appreciate the sharing mate...definitely an industry trick as it does look very good.

I like how your car is clean. Keep away from any stickers or "ricey" items and you'll be on the straight and narrow! :-)

Thanks again mate.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
