Hey guys, just trying to sort out the little things that annoy me and my main one is oxidation on the windows that give it a bubbly look. Its only on the surface and just wondering if anyone else had this problem and how'd they fix it. Just need to know if it has to be done professionally or is there some sort of abrasive cleaner that will clean it off.

Much appreciated if anyone has any ideas.

Haha yeh have tried that but didn't work unfortunately. Also tried cleaners like windex but that doesn't work either, might have to have hit and miss with other cleaners. I'll try and take photos of what it looks like but don't think it'll show up too well. Its just one of those annoying things u could live with but because I want everything perfect on this car it is annoying me knowing that its there.

Hi Mark,

If you are refering to those water marks then I have the same issue on both my 35s. Pisses me off to no end! Most visible under bright sunlight. I've tried a few different polishes, turps, metho etc...nothing has worked so far. Someone on the forum has recommended Meguiars Diamond Cut. Haven't got around buying it yet to try. If you find a solution let me know.

Cheers.

Back on subject, I would suggest that you get the opinion from a Car Windscreen installer, there are some lightly abrahesive 'chemical based cleaners out there and they can buff the window too...

That should lift most blemishes.

Try AutoGlym Car Glass Polish

http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/...ar_glass_polish

I used it on my Lexus IS250 windows when I saw it had like dried water droplets etched on the windows... worked wonders.

like i said the marks r probably caused by acid rain, which has "dissolved" a really really thin surface layer of the glass... the only way I heard to remove this is using a steel wool to lightly polish the glass, so u can "even" out the layers. Again, i've never seen this done in real life, and personally I dont think steel wool + glass is a good combination.

Glass can be polished but not like that... Steel Wool is a big no no in my opinion.

See a professional.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By 25debt · Posted

      Sorry I didn’t explain myself properly, by free revving I meant if I just floor it, it gets to 7kish and will start to break up/not hit limiter properly, off boost I’ve driven the car until near on empty. I have a fuel pressure gauge mounted in the engine bay, holds fuel pressure consistently full tank or half tank even when revving, and no the pump sound doesn't change. all the fuel lines inside the tank are fairly new but will look into it, could that also be an issue with the lines outside the tank ?

      Yeah maybe I got a bad batch that only lasted 6 years. Or conversely maybe I got a good batch that managed to last 6 years.    Either way I have sourced a set of OEM hub/bearing assemblies  so I keep hearing! Even from life long mechanics. Apparently this failure is unheard of…

      I am trying to understand how that even happened to the hub... wtf

      Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.

      Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
