well I finally got around to do it and it was well worth doing. I wet (crc) sanded it with 1200g paper and wiped it off and applied some autosol. Then I buffed it of and used a wet 1400g paper really fine stuff for one more round and applied autosol and buffed it off to a nice shiny polished look...I'll post a couple pics of the finished look....I'm quite proud of the outcome put a big grin on my face........ :D

Sounds nice.. mine are like that but started to fade a bit.. Needs another strong polish. Nice long break so might do it while i'm bored.

What sort of buffer did you use? Just one of those drill attachment things?

rocker covers come off easy as.. all u have to do is take off centre black plastic covers, as if u were doing spark plugs... then there are i think, 5 phillips heads screws on each side of rocker cover.. then just lift off..

dark - i agree! i want pics.. also, how long it take?

Thats very nice r31skyline.. sexxxy... Motivating me to get off my ass and start detailing my bay a bit more.

Did u sand back the plenum and all that yourself or somebody else do it for you? Looks like a lot of sanding involved, but seeing the result i wanna do it :)

Um... it's a DavePro job :D

That's what men are for. ;)

He does the polishing, and I tell him what I want done next. :)

Then I get him to take bits off so that I can paint them.

I have the riciest car on SAu....

It's all looks and not much power ;):D

Oh well.... these things take time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
