hey guys.

ive noticed recently, that everytime i wash my car and chamois it, it leaves stains on the paint work, and the only way you can get rid of it, is to poilish it out. :whistling:

as i said, its only been happening since december, after i took it to a place to get washed.

any ideas?

re-spray is on the cards, but what can i do in the meantime? cbf polishing it all the time..

and if you want pics, i might be able to organise some..

car is a Black r32 gtst..

thanks in advance.

EDIT: could this be caused by carwashes usuing recycled water?

i might have to do a test at home by using tap water.

f**king water restrictions.

I have a black R33 - dark coloured cars show water stains and residue a lot more than lighter coloured cars.

I find that washing the car in sections and rinsing helps prevent the stains appearing (ie: wash roof and windows - rinse car, wash mid section - rinse car, wash lower section - rinse car). Also the sooner you can get the water off the car with a chamois after washing, the better

If you've still got marks, you could try using Meguiars Quick/Speed Detailer on a cloth and give the car a wipe over...

is it all over the car and consistant...if only in certain areas maybe somethin has landed upon ur car like a chemical or something...or maybe some1 has sprayed ur car with something nasty

dunno wat else it could be, if it was polish is should be polished back of for "good" once u re-polish the car, only thing else i could think of is maybe after a polish u missed certains spots...left it in the sun and the polish has so to speak "baked" itself onto ur paint , then once u polish it off, the new polish shins it over until its fully come off/sprayed off with water

Yeah thats weird then dude... Real upsetting actually..

maybe hit those spots with a buffer next time? strange if you ask me .. Make sure you hose of excess soaps quickly and always wash your car early morning or night to avoid mid day temps to evaporate valuable leftover water (leaving marks)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
