i keep saying 'weekly' but its usually fortnightly. i blame it on the winter weather tho. longest stretch without washing would have to be 8 weeks. but i try and give it a clean for cruises and/or any other car related stuffs. when i have a lot of time on my hands and i can be bothered i'll try and wax too. :(

I used to wash my car once, twice a week. That is until the water restriction came in. Now about once every 2 week.

My car is Black and every little spec of dust and water spec can be seen. The funny thing is my outside is damn clean but my inside is pretty messy hehe.

My car is Black.  It's always dirty.

Yes - mine too!

Although people say it looks clean so I dont bother washing it that often :D about once a month or maybe every few weeks - during winter / wet weather anyway.

Mine is black... well was... its now midnight blue most of the time... anyway its a real prick to keep clean. Latley I havent been washing it coz I got sick of putting in the effort to make it sparkle only to wake up the next day and find rain coming down in buckets.

Black looks awesome after good bath. Shame it only lasts a few days :P

pushead, you obviously havent see mine around.

ive had it around 4.5 months now and its only been lightly hosed down once. i dont think i even cleaned it when it arrived.

so its got crap from japan (sat at docks for two weeks), ship, docks here, then in my open carport for two months waiting for compliance, then quick wash, then drive till now without a wash.

actually its really dirty right now cause i went for a drive on sun night and started seriously wearing through my clutch :P

Once a week, first thing on Saturday morning down to the local car detailers for a wash, then I am good for cruising on the weekend. :P

Come Friday night though the car does look a little dirty :P

If I had the time I would clean it everyday.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
