:mellow: Here are some pic's of my R34 sedan after hours of washing, polishing and waxing this weekend.

It was all clean and sparkly so I had to grab the camera and take some pic's. Just wanted to share.

Mummy's car is the R34 family sedan (and last time I checked I was the mummy :) ), daddy's is the R33 2 door.

If you ask Maddie "daddy's car is too loud and fast, I like going in Mummy's car it's not loud" lol

Yes you have discribed Logan quite acurately, he is such a cheeky boy, he waits until you have your back turned and then draws pretty patterns on your car with chalk :D lucky it came off easily.

Thanks for the comments on the R34 too. :)

Thanks peoples.

Nathan - Yes washing your car is like a rain dance. Luckily she gets to stay in her garage when the weather is wet. :D

SS8_Gohan - You can make big pic little but you cant make little pics big, sorry :pirate: . I only use Meguiars products after attending one of the educational demo days at their factory. Washed with Meguiars NXT Generation car wash (purple product with green lids). Touched up a few scratches/road tar/bug guts with Meguiars Scratch X. You can use this clay stuff too that removes all contaminents on the paint, takes a long time though. Polish with another Meguiars polish, cant recall exact range. Wax NXT Generation, time permitted only one coat at the moment, but two or three would give better protection. Windows - Meguiars window cleaner. Tyres - Meguiars hot tyre shine. Headlights & tail lights - Meguiars Plastix cleaner (works a treat). Yes I keep Meguiars in business. :) Oh and thanks to my husband who lent a hand with the elbow grease.

Brendan - Mummy's little man! He is just too adorable he could get away with anything.

Jon - we are stage 3 now, not allowed to wash cars at home, only windscreens and headlights. Stage 4 in May, only car washes with recycled water. It sucks so much. We live about 500m from out BP car wash, close enough to wash, rush home and chamios before it dries!!

What good taste we have in names :wave: My Madeleine is 3yrs 4mths and Logan is 18mths. I love my kids to bits.

Cheers

my 2 yo once attacked my bonnet on a 33 4dr with a hacksaw!

was not impressed

nice car

at 1st i couldnt get used to the updated front bar on the later 34s but it is growing on me . fmic will be interesting on what to chop out of it

:) your worst nightmare. I guess they will be donating their pocket money for the respray.

The S2 front bar is a little different, and I don't think it can be easily modified to allow for a FMIC though. I would probably get another alternative front bar rather than hack this one to bits, it is still in excellent condition.

flirty4, i think you'll find this place most interesting...

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
