I could ask this elsewhere but I like us V35 people better :P

I have a sticker on my rear bumper which came on the car from Japan. I want to remove it. I have tried to pick it off to no avail (just keeps breaking away in 1mm flecks).

What should I use to help get it off?

Try warming it up using a hairdryer to soften the adhesive.

If it's not working, then it's probably bonded with your paint. But in 90% of cases a heatgun around 100c for about 15 seconds should do it (be careful not to overheat it).

you could also try soaking it in some metho or something

place a sponge on the sticker and soak it with metho and leave for a while for it to soak

Um- perhpas wax and grease remover - rather than Metho- Metho might dry it out tooo much.

Heat it up (hair dryer or heat gun)- do it in the sun. Continually rub wax and grease remover over it- and grow some finger nails. There is no quick way about it.

Same as debadging the car and taking off the old residue.

this has become slightly moot - some c*nt backed into my car whilst parked at my girlfriends over night. Will need to respray the bumper anyway :S

Regardless of the the respray and for the future, 3M makes a great adhesive cleaner.

Works great, spray on leave wipe off. Never damaged anything that i know of, but might be best to test on some surfaces.

It is a bit like this US version, sorry can not find Oz type.

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
