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.

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
