hey i used to work at a car wash the stuff we use is like 10X stronger than that crap they sell at auto barn try find somewhere where they sell proper products this shit actually makes u choke if you breath it in it gets rid of grease and oils etc sick stuff man i did my engine bay on the GT-R had no problems man there nothing wrong with giving it a high pressure just don't stand to close its not like they were designed not to get water on them they are cars anything that is not meant to touch water is hidden or protected except pods of cores but other than that spray it and get a rag dry it all get another rag clean one! and armaroll and go over it all clean the pipes with it and will come up mint man.

+1 this guy, nothing wrong with hosing down your bay, cars can drive in 2 foots deep water so obviously the engine doesnt mind getting wet.

Do try not to oversoak electricals or your coilpack cover and you shuldnt have any worries. If you use a decent degreaser or wash it will do most of the cleaning work anyway then you are really just rinsing it off..

Be careful when using de-greasers on you car.

Some attack aluminum and leave white spots, especially on polished aluminum, like the car wash 'engine and wheel cleaner' selection.

The supercheap de-greaser in a can that I love to use attacks and breaks down rubber o rings, rubbers gaskets etc, but cleans crap away off metal, plastic etc really well.

To stop it from breaking down rubber parts, always rinse off with water straight away.

Well theres something i didnt know, damnit my cars sitting out there soaking in 1$autobahn degreaser cans now and i cant hose it cause its in bits... :unsure:

What I usually do use though is just truck wash, I spray it on,in and under my vehicle and let it soak overnight then hose at carwash the next day..

Amidoinitright?????

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
