you will need to read the previous post to get when im sayin :mellow:

went there they were quite nice and they did say they do pay special attention to sports cars such as skylines. I have talked to them and they would look at discounts if groups wanted but I will leave that to the Execs to discuss

Here are what they charge:

ONE STOP WASH - $20

(hand was, chamois, door frames cleaned, exterior windows cleaned and blackened tires)

ONE STOP PLUS - $27

is above plus interior clean and vacuum and clean of dash and console

ONE STOP WORX - $33

all above plus cleaning of wheel archs, deoderise interiors and wax with canubra wax

They also do detailing including shampoo of interior and engine clean and detail clay as well but you have to book for this service

we can still wash at home with just a bucket though cant we?

although I often just take my own bucket to the sunshine autowash (opposite Hyperdome) and diy! just use the rinse and wheel cleaner

but its good to know they do a good job!

Go for gold buddy. I frequent the car wash there (as its just up the road), and find that taking my own crap to wash the car in the shade is the go. To hell with sticking $6 or more $$$$ into their system, and avoid the scratches of the magical 'foaming brush'

would like to have my pampered by some Pros though!

Well if anyone has a spare 12K to throw around, this is the carwash for you! :D

P/S probably a repost

And thats the gear!

I almost cried when I opened this thread and had a read...

If you guys new anything about paint and especially the paint on your car then you would know that for $33 you get what you pay for...

Being a wash with cheap detergents that most likely remove previous waxes, good in part but does not help in maintaining your finish.

The second is buffing with polish that removes a fine layer of paint, and remember your paint in mm thick and you will be constantly removing paint.

Further, they don't use proper sealants or wax's which will result in the paint deteriorating and looking dull quicker and will get dirty quicker, resulting in...yes you guessed it, you forking out another $33...

But alas, the is not a big expense, until they buff through the clear and hit the pigment layer resulting in you now forking out for a respray.

Don't get me wrong, some car wash places are good, predominantly for that, car washing. If you want to polish your car properly do it yourself or see a professional detailer. You may be charged $150 for a decent polish sealant wax, but they use top end products and your paint will last years longer....

I have partaken of the Car Wash in question today and the service and quality were top-notch.

Have paid $20 just for a wash in the past but this place, for $33, did a brilliant job in detailing the interior and the car looks great on the outside too. (Except where I really need to have it re-painted.....)

The people there are car enthusiasts and one of the managers owns a Series 2 R33. He is hopeful of getting some discounts for SAU members in the future. Stay tuned!!

Dave, what was the name of the place. I want to give them a ring to get my car cleaned before the weekend.

Thanks.

Hey guys, just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Andrew and I have been the one who has booked in Mushroom, LBR33 and Rhinorebel. I have been talking to the owners about some form of discount, etc for SAU members as the feedback has been great. Thanx guys. The products we use r the best, the glass cleaner itself is the best I have ever used (removes smoke film perfect). At the moment u wont need to book in for a polish or engine clean. ENGINE CLEAN = $30 extra and POLISH = from $80 extra. The polish is a liquid polymer that gives a deep clear gloss finish and protects paint from fade. No buffing is ever done unless asked. It was nice putting faces to names aswell. Hell I even met the treasurer for the first time. I will definately be at the Charity cruise. And generally I will be the one looking after the skylines.

Thanks for that Andrew. What are your operating hours. And how long to get the polish as well.

OK. Operating hours are 7:30 to 5:00 mon-sat ....although if u want the works done it is best to bring ur car in before 4:30. And on Sun, operating hours are 8:30 - 4:00. If we're not busy a polish and wash can take UP TO 2 hrs, but can normally be done in approx an hour.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
