There are guys that do this sort of thing for car dealerships - if its not too bad you could try that?

I dont have the numbers of any of them but just go to your closest dealership and ask them who they use

Little scrape? Touch up paint dude. Ask a local panelbeater if they have the colour. Otherwise try Nissan or import workshops for the colour. Don't have no's atm.

I've filled up fine scratches on my 33 with polish, but if the paint has been scraped all the way to the body then polish is useless.

Cheers

If it's not too bad then touch-up paint is good. If you can't get Midnight Purple then look for something as close as possible, or, if it's only very small scratches at the very bottom of the lip then black touchup over the actual scratches can take the attention away if you do it correctly....

his car is midnight purple :)

on srz note: Try autobarn, they can mix the acrylic touch up paint for you. Just bring ur paint code with you. 30bux a can.

It's more dark blue then purple..

And If you get a dark blue texta it will fix the problem.. I do it on my car all the time!

Try just use a brush to apply the spray as spray goes everywhere and if you get it on your ride you'll have to buff/polish it off .. just a tip .. id say pre mix autobarn way is going to be best.. However I have bought a midnight purple colour when I was doing some mod work to my pc .. looks very similar gold flakes everything .. just go check out the sprays

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
