lol you'd use something around the 1000 range and make sure its wet...

primer should hopefully fix it, might need a few coats... just remember that any blemish in the primer will looks 10000 times worse once the paint goes on...(paint doesnt cover it up like some people may think)

listen up mate:)

if your car's in 240 theres two ways you can go about it...throw it in primer which will help in the appearance when its all finished or you can go out and throw some 320 then one 180 on an orbital sander and get all those 240 scratch marks out...only problem there is dont know how competent you are and how thick your paint is you might rub through and if its badly rubbed through might show up when you finish painting it.

mate if i was you take it some one who knows what they are doing me and my dad are doing my GT-R and the only reason im letting him touch it was because he used to run Nissan Australia's production line for body work back in the day and is a panel beater by trade! and even with him working on my car not everything is going to go to plans but if you have some questions or need some advice ask me and ill ask him and will be glad to give you a hand

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
