Just an update on NXT 2.0. some tests on an world forum has shown that NXT 2.0 durability is fairly descent compared to V1 giving up to 2 month protection, the Wax just out performed the liquid so it is getting there. Hey and how many of us love detailing our rides every month or so? so the durabilty would not be an issue if you top it.

Yeah, i found the durability of the NXT gen stuff to be a problem. It was really smooth after polishing, but i even noticed a difference (less smooth) after one wash. So i went back to the Meguiars Gold Class polish and shampoo. I think its important to use the same shampoo and polish for lasting durability.

I dont really understand why Meguiars has so many sub brands of polish. NXT, Gold Class, Wet Look, Yellow Carnuba, Cleaner wax etc. I wish i knew what the pros and cons of each was.

Also, ive had problems with the products 'going off' over an extended period of time. I must have 30 different Meguiars products in may garage, and ive gone to use an old Cleaner wax and could hardly remove it from my car after application.

The quick clay is awesome for bonded contaminants and over spray.

Rant over.

good point, detail mine every 2nd month or so, well after being away for a while gave the ride a quick wash and she came out looking very shmick, same as just after the wax, so im happy. been pretty lousy weather too.

I was actually gonna send Meguiars a Email. After using the Next gen tire shine after a couple of days of driving it comes off and ends on the guard, causing it to stain the paint on both rear panels. A slight cut takes it off but if you look closely there is still a small amount of tire shine on the panel.

Abit annoying when if it was worse i would need a whole rear quarter spray.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
