Hi All,

I just got about 10 seagull turds on my car at work, washed it off within 2 hours but the damage was already done. I used a pressure washer to clean all the crap off but the 'residue' left over is stuck on the paint! Colour is a dark blue and had a full respray about 1 month ago.. :)

What's the best way to remove the residue/stains? Any help appreciated

Cheers,

The 'residue' doesn't come off with a pressure washer or sponge & detergent but it feels like it is sitting on the paint, not eating through.. i thought bug & tar remover was very harsh on the paint??

claybar

will remove anything sitting on the paint

So WD-40 is like a cure all? Like Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Spilt silicon, get WD-40, have a cold, get WD-40, get hit by a car, get WD-40. Its a mirricle formular!!

And thats the end of my randomness for today!

seriously try windex as i find it work really well to get bird crap off the paint

Claybar is good but I just didnt wanna throw the idea around to someone who has never used it. If it scratches the paint I dont want to be reponsible for fixing it!

Bug & Tar remover isnt harsh on the paint. A good polish after ad you'll be sweet...

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
