Maybe the paint defects are not so much to do with poor paint to begin with but how it's been looked after? Also I can't imagine the whole shipping it here would do it much good.

Nice Job Mario.

If your used to high end cars, all i can say is welcome to the world of Nissan paint.

Renowned for being so soft that slightly heavy breathing in a clock wise direction will cause it swirl.

I have a black 2004 V35 and spent about 2 days in my garage trying to get them all out.

How did you go ? Did you manage to get the paint defects out ?

That's what i said to a customer this paint is so delicate that you can't breath of the dam thing that it scratches :(

Immagine trying to machine polishing it and then trying to remove the polishing compound , the bloody thing marrs the paint :D

Thanks again

Regards Mario

ive seen the car in the flesh! (window shopping) you guys did a very nice job...... maybe a test drive?
You wish :laughing-smiley-014:

Thanks , the job wasn't easy but the results are stunning once i finished it and of course it won't be long before it gets scratched again ;):D:):(

Hello Guy's ,

I am fairly new to this forum ! :) My name is Mario and i am from Melbourne , here are shots of work that i did on this brand new GTR-35, as you have gathered by now i detail top end cars for a living :D

Brand New Nissan GTR 35 with paint defects over two and a half days !

One of my regular clients who imports Japanese cars has also imported a Brand new Nissan GTR 35 in Jet Black !

This is 0ne of the many GTR 35 in Australia! Nissan Australia will start importing them next year so my client decided to have it here sooner !

So far it's really stirred things up people stoping by the showroom to take a look at it there are twenty two clients on my clients list who are interested in the car and one in particular wanted to put a $ 40.000 deposit to secure it !

Most of these guys own Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati etc.....

but would like to have another super car like the GTR 35

Anyway on with the paint correction ! This paint reminds me of the very soft paint that Porsche used to have ! When i first inspected the paint i thought this can't be a new car the state of the paint was appalling ! ;)

I decided to give the Flex XC 3401 VRG a run , initially i wanted to use my rotary but then i decided to use the flex instead !

Most of the car was corrected with the Lake Country Orange CCS Pads 6.5"

and LC White CCS 6.5" pads, i decided to try PO 106 FF since my client told me that i will be back to repolish the whole car again in three months time that's why i didn't want to remove to much clear !

And since this car will be used for road tests you can imagine how it will look in three months time ! I briefly Shaw this car take off it was brutal !

Forget about the other It's this one in definitely in the super car league !

Edmonds in the States went to Japan to test it's full potential 3.3 seconds in launch mode and 475 NM of torque they say it's the quickest production car that has come out of the Nissan Stable !

Quicker than a Dodge Viper, quicker than a Porsche Turbo, and also quicker than a Corvette C6. Pity i couldn't go for a spin ! :(

Didn't you get the memo. Nissan ship GT-R's with these paint "features" built in. They are not defects at all! ;)

Nice work!

:( Nissan has always had very soft paint and this GTR-35 is no exception :D

Regards Mario :)

Doc thats exactly what my paint has even including the spider webs, lol. Car looks great - and black is always a good indicator of paint condition. They say its the hardest to look after but it also shows off paint quality the best so its game on in that aspect...

Are those spots from acid rain...??? Is that was causes those marks?

I thought i could get it all out by hard hand polishing it but obviously not...

Machine polishing...okay cool, i can arrange that.

Anything else you can prescribe? I care about the car so i want it looking its best.

What is "paint correction" exactly and how good do you think Meguiars are?

LOl, looks like SAU has its own in house paint Doc now...

Adam, pity you are in Japan i would have sorted this problem no worries ! :D

Regards Mario

Mate i wouldnt have worried you with a lowly Subaru!

Ill come see you when the Ferrari is a week old.

Thanks for the replies though, very useful.

So, whats the verdict on meguiars? Also, any tips you can pass on about paint care?

How does Nissan paint stack up against Subaru paint?

Adam,

Meguiar's are good products but they are not the best ! :)

For your fastidious car nut i would recommend , Pinnacle , Wolgang, Swissvax ( Very Expensive !) but Excellent ! Instead of me boring you how good they are i will give you this link so you can find out eveything about car care ! This is an excellent site http://autogeek.net/index.html

Hope this helps

Regards Mario ;)

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
