Cut and Polishing / detailing car + MAS entrants query


Recommended Posts

Go easy on me, I dont normally start my own threads.

Anyone got a decent contact for Cut and Polishing / Detailing?

Melbourne only. Preferably SE suburbs.

Reasonable Price.

Needs to be done by next weekend.

No silly posts, thanks.

Any HELP much appreciated :P

Either PM or post here.

How do you guys plan on preparing your cars?

Just the usual wash? - with a bit of extra care perhaps?

Full detail?

C&P?

Blow-wave? j/k :P

Are you doing it yourselves or what?

We could organise a group thing for a discount somewhere maybe?

I am currently trying to find a GOOD place, though I am concerned time isnt on our side.

Any tips would be welcomed.

its a car detailing place on the corner of hoddle and gipps st in collingwood... i used to work around the corner from it... do a good job... full interior clean including shampoo from what i remember and the exterior i think u can get a olish or cut and polish or depending on how much u want to spend they have different options etc

I"m up for some detailing as well, thoe i have the products Meguires i cant be ****ed doing it by hand, detailed my car myself a while ago, but so much work with using the hands...dam...

When helping out with the MAS on the two days its on i'll be in the stand hopefully, with nice pampering cloths and meguires quick detailer, to get those dam finger prints off and shit. I keep em up to showcar conditions even after the detail. CHeers Rob

sorry if its too late but the guy i bought my car off is a panel beater... deals with loads of skylines that he brings in... done some work on my car.. including repsyraying my bonnet before i got it coz it had a couple stone chips... and u've seen my car... the bonnet was fine yer ? might wanna give him a bell on 9308 8977 his name is Paul he is in roxburgh park (its close to the maccas where my car coz smacked :P) and tell him u know me he will look after you

oh and btw i wouldny cut it unless its in similar condsition to mine currently (i used a public car was brush :P stoopid me) as the black on skylines is the udnercoat and then the layers of clear go over that so it will just come up dull and ugly.. like where i got keyed when i tried to cut it.. i learned the hard way.. but i believe panel beaters know how to do it properly.. just tell my guy u want the paint looking schmick for autosalon and im sure he'll do what is required :D

Thanks again guys,

DJ: I will have to keep your advice in mind - thanks!

Rob - good to have your support mate ;)

Skyline33: I will be in touch if the other guys show some interest.

Sniffy: it has a lot of surface scratches that show up when looked at closely so I was thinking a cut & polish would restore it back to new. Just cause its a 34 doesnt mean the paint is brand new ~ I wish :)

me - whore? never [i could have made 5 posts out of this if I was a true ho like you :D].

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
