Nice post with lots of helpful info.

Cheers. :D

Yeah i was referring to both of you actually.

Youve both been very helpful.

Its not every day we get a thread on paint care... :)

Ok guy's,

I've been extremely busy so that's why i am responding to you now !

I am also getting ready for next months trip to Sydney, jobs, meetings etc....

The GTR 35 was clayed down extensively and no i didn't take any PTG reading's because i thought that the PO 106 FF would not remove enough paint to

warrant a reading . With the paint correction i did i probably removed less than one micron .

I would have however taken PTG readings had i used Menzerna Power gloss, or PO 85 RD 3.01 with a wool pad or similar combination , any other questions ?

Paint technology is changing so rapidly that i have always kept up to date with the latest Technology and this is just the beginning !

I have been testing new polishing compounds which use nanotechnology ( Not Sonax, or Menzerna ) .

Sorry, i can't disclose the product's name at this stage until it's released to the Australian market and further testings are done plus .

That's just a taste of things to come so be patience i will keep you informed !

Regards Mario :D

Daniel,

even though you are using a forced rotation machine, you're using Final Finish, how much clear do you think you'll be removing?? :D

Interest to hear your thoughts re: 106FF choice for BOTH polishing stages? And given the car is jet black, why not finish on CCS Black

One thing CCS Black does not cut like CCS white and when you are left with fine blooming on the paint ( very fine haze)Black CCS will not correct that problem !

Don't be fooled by less power of a Flex forced rotation machine , it will do some serious damage like a rotary, i have tested this machine

for a solid month before i committed myself to putting my money down .

And to further prove my point here is the full review i wrote on the Flex http://www.detailparadise.com.au/modules.p...opic&t=2912

Enjoy !

Regards Mario :)

Hey Guys,

Just got the news today ! :D

Got another New GTR 35 to polish in six to nine weeks time ! :D Not sure if it's going to be another Jet Black or a Titanium Metallic !

I will keep you all posted :(

Regards Mario :)

Hey Mario

NICE WORK ON THE GTR! I figured you are the best person to help me with my question

Have a look at the pix, I recently found these bubble like bumps on my bonnett, they feel like as if something is underneath the paint.......do you know the cause of this? how do I fix it?

the paint is still under warranty, is this something that the warranty normally covers?

thanks in advance for your advice :D

Lj,

The photos show me some thing but i need to see the car ?

Perhaps wetsanding might get those defects out , but i also need to do PTG ( Paint Thickness Gauge ) measure the paint film build .

Send me a PM please .

Regards Mario :D

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
