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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
