Try a product called De-Solve It. It is a citrus smelling product which will actually desolve the sticker. I doubt it would damage your paint, but it would probably be worth checking first.

That's what I was on about!! De-solve it. Works well on sticky crap.

Ive tried that, sticky and smelly and prepsol still works better than it, plastic razor blade FTW

possiably try a hardware store for a plastic razor

Hi guys, this is the story i dont like the stickers they came with the car. Its a clear sticker looks like a expensive one, each corner is so tight its not funny. I've used.

Heatgun, wax & grease remover, and turps nothing works.

Nothing has happened to the paint yet but im not got to respray a whole guard over one sticker. There has to be a product on the market which can eat this away. No way can it come off like a normal sticker.

I've added the picture cause now, ive made it look like shit lol and need to take it off completly.

Please let me know anything, but im not using anything that could harm my paint. and please only tell me on your experience not just a theory you heard off someone lol.

Anyway i hope you guys can help me out. Thanks :wave:

go to a auto paint shop (dont go to supercheap or autobarn) ask them for a "caramal wheel" i got rid or stickers off the side of my last car in about 20 mins, a sticker that size should come off in about 1-2 min.

its a softrubber wheel that you attach to your drill so when u runn the wheel over your sticker it peels of the plastic coat and glue without marking the painted surface.

cost about 15 buck and is very effective.

good luck

Yeah man cut and polish should fix that easy, but try using some of those little 'magic eraser' sponges from a hardware show/supermarket first they are like a solid white foam block which get rid of glue residue pretty easy and wont screw up your paint.

Good luck :D

get something like this.

http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/a...ler/output_html

i use these heaps to get off old double sided tape or old stickers 10-20 years old.

just use it on a drill.

its rubbery/plastic, and it wont affect your paint, just dont sit it on the same spot for 20 minutes heh

you can definately get them from most sign places like "supply 1" at morningside. i cant seem to find it on their website though.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
