Beautiful. Cleaning my car for the first time lastnight at BP.. and my paint just starts peeling off. Owned it all of 4 days and I've got a 50 cent sized piece of paint missing and its basically down to the bare metal.

Who's got the hookups on resprays? Or knows roughly how much it would be to respray a hood

from memory when Joe from Profinish was doing my car to respray the hood was $250. I did have a fair amount of other work done at the same time though...

<br />Anyone got some ideas on what I should do for the time being? To stop it rusting?<br />

It wont rust its aluminium. Maybe put some clear nail polish around the edge to keep it sealed and stop it getting worse.

Did it come off easily? My front bumper had paint peeled off pretty easily ages ago - had to have it stripped off then had the bumper prepped properly and resprayed. It must of had the bonnet resprayed in it's past and didnt get prepped properly...

Yeah.. giving it a good high pressure hose down.. but i was a couple of feet away (like I usually am) and the paint just flew off. But the whole front bar and hood as little touch up jobs all over it probably from stone chips

Damn - I would go and tear the guy that you bought it from a new one. Clearly he has completely dodged a paint repair to sell the car and done the nastiest lack of prep imaginable! Looks like blisters under the front grille too, so assume that will need to be resprayed soon too. Bummer.

Same thing happened to mine, took it to dazzlers after I'd got it... it had a couple of existing chips but when the sprayer hit them they flaked open

I wouldn't naturally assume its the ex owner, could have easily been someone in japan or any prior owner..

-D

Well I took my mums VZ commodore to a carwash cafe. They used a pressure hose and paint flaked off on the door handles a little bit. This is on a 1 owner car that was just over 3 years old.

I dont use the pressure washer on the Skyline. I still scratched it with the garden hose though :(

same thing happened to me with the high pressure hose flaking more paint away from a small crack in my front bar. i have never washed my skyline at those car wash joints since then. Those foam brush broom things are terrible too

scores ya points with the pitlane marshall ;)

I had nothing to do with that ... no influence whatsoever :(

All the cars I inspected in pitlane on the V8 weekend had black mesh ;) So no extra points awarded anyway.

Was a great finish to the race, pity about the pace car that finished Murphy/Skaife's chances but then that's racing I guess

A big ROR at those 2 in the same car.....that's like Ruby & Rhys going fishing together on a quiet Sunday afternoon. :D

Skaifey should've rigged his car to explode straight after the last lap cause Murphy reminds me of a couple of douches :D

About time i saw that car Matty!

Doesn't exactly resemble a skyline just yet.

Most people don't use house paint on their cars..

Thanks for the IC too :D

i thought u were referring to my intercooler, but then realised u meant iced coffee

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
