Hi all,

Did a search but couldn't find much. Anyway, my car runs pretty rich, and puts out a fair bit of fuel, so it's always "yellow" around the rear bar.

When I wash it, it never comes off easily... i've pretty much gotta polish it all off.

Anyone experience this, and tried a good way to keep it so that it doesn't "stick" on... I imagine it's the plastic rear bar that causes it to stay on.

Of course, I'd added pics for extra effect.

Hey mate, unfortunately thems the brakes. It's a sacrifice we have to make having a white skyline with an aftermarket exhaust. However after installing an Apexi S-AFCII and getting a tune i did notice a reduction in the amount of fuel over the rear bar. Remember RB's run rich from the factory. Hope that helps. >_<

Yeah, i've got a PFC, and aftermarket injectors / fuel reg. No chance I can run it leaner haha. Oh well, what can you do.

I've cleaned it all off with bug and tar remover now. I'll give it a polish in an hour or so, then a couple of coats of wax... and i'll see if that makes it easier to clean. I don't mind it being yellow but would rather it comes off easily in a wash.

I'll let you know how I go >_<

yeh a bit of bug and tar could get the big stuff off....if its been there for a while, (i had the same) i used a really fine cut polish, to take care of the paint, but cut into the stain, came off fairly easy. Straight after that put on a few layers of wax and now keep it as clean as possible. see if that helps :D

your right about the plastic too, it seems to stain easier, the facia and tail light surrounds always seem to get slight darker than the paint. :dry:

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
