schmiko! can't believe you won with stock rims, I guess its a testiment to how good the bodywork is then if they can overlook wheels in the process considering how many show cars have crazy expensive rims on them while in shows.

have you considered trying to get sponsorship from a wheel shop or something?

I just borrowed one of those MOTHER hand buffing machine - FARKING BRILLIANT.

Did the GTR and the Liberty over the long weekend - and what a great result.

I will be buying one of these gems this week/next week as they do making a shit job quite simple and easy.

Cant recommend them highly enough. Seriously one of the must haves if your serious about keeping your car tip top.

Ahh Mothers buffing machine, 70% is done by hand

O there about 160$, Pads are aboput 16$ to replace. If your doing the mothers propertly use the three steps.

1. Wax Cleaner/Removes Oxidation

2. Sealer and Glaze

3. Pure Carnaubra Waz

4. Showtime instant Detailer

Go to bunnings and buy 3x 3 packs of microfiber cloths.

Use the 2 cloths for each of the coats, one to apply one to remove! Keep turning your cloth around also. I cant stress this enough using different cloths for each stage.

Allow the wax to dry on the surface before removing, it has to marry to the surface. Other wise you are wasting your time and money. Dont be shy with the last coat of wax wipe it on so theres a lovley covering. Theres really no need to rub it in just so it coveres all the surface.

Be patient allow a good day for this. Always make sure your car is washed

before you do this!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
