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].

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
