Over here we have a few different car wash places: Car Lovers, BP and another. Within that car wash place they all have a lazer wash which is a brushless car wash, just highpressure water.

The car wash places all have the diy stuff that well; isn't named anything. :(

So over here the Lazerwash is a car wash. DIY is diy. :rofl:

i just fill a small bin up with water and connect my high pressure hose to it, technically its still out of the bucket coz the water isnt connected to the mains... much easier and quicker to wash the car that way

ohh and a couple weeks ago a water main was shooting water 3 feet in the air on the corner of our street, dad called the water board and they said it will take 3 days to get someone out. he said, well if it takes that long i guess u dont care about water restrictions and i cant get in trouble for washing my house and watering my garden.... they arrived within 30mins to fix it.... government is f**ked....

A couple of months ago I got one of those waterless car wash kits. Not Polyglaz or Kitten or any of that crap, its one from the USA called "Dry Wash N Guard". I have a black Series 2 skyline that i have owned for nearly 2 yrs now and living on the Central Coast we have level 4 water restictions. I "washed" my car with this stuff and holy hellfire buggery bastard batman!!! The car has never looked this black!!

I had some water marks in the paint, now gone! I had swirls from polishing too hard and they are dramatically reduced and nearly gone! The distibuter I got it off said the more that I use this stuff the more slight imperfections will disappear.

I was sooooo sceptical before using this stuff for obvious reasons with a black car. But the water beads like nothing else now and bugs and stuff are so much easier to get off my car.

Before everyone PM's me for where I got it, keep in mind it aint cheap!!!! about $90 bucks for the 500ml kit.

But i only used about 60 or 70ml to do my whole car and now if my car isnt that dirty i just wet sponge and chammy it off in 10 mins and it looks smickoe again.

Our local carwash place has the water recycling so much that the water actually stinks and leaves brown sh*t on my car so I thought i'd try something different.

Anyway sorry for the long post but I think some people would like a different solution to the sh*tty carwashs that do more harm than good for your paint!!!

Phanks for reading!! :laugh:

^ They already have that, the Navy boys have them on their boats.

You don't want to drain the sea out though, but with global warming and the melting of the ice caps, and the whole world being flooded, maybe it isn't such an insane idea.

it's called desalination. they can do it. it's been done in other countries. i think there's trials in perth actually.

i'm all for it.

my mate has a rainwater catchment tank under his property, so we can legally use his hose to wash our cars.

oh crap :) i got given one of them too and I gave it away cos I didnt see how you could wash your car without water - thought it must be hella dodgy. Wish I'd kept it now!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
