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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • 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...
