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!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
