Hey guys,

i dont know about your car's though mine was suffering from major brake dust to the front wheels, i would polish them one day, and 2 days later BRAKE DUST!!

Well a few weeks ago i started using the auto glym alloy wheel seal..... i thought to myself most likely wouldnt work.... just more bullcrap from the shelf..

Believe it or not... IT WORKS!!! no more brake dust builds up on my wheels...!! its abit pricey $20 for the bottle... but worth the money!

It seems like a wheel polish that dosnt let brake dust stick to the rims

here is a link to a shop who sells it... i bought my bottle from Repco...

honestly this stuff works! it takes about 3 to 4 weeks before i get a slight dust build....and thats a slight dust build which i cn hardly see....

its a spray that you spray onto your alloy wheel.. and you simply polish it off with a rag....

perfect for all types of alloy wheels... Auto glym is not classified as a cheap product so yes it will be fine with those expensive jap wheels!

+ 1 fantastic stuff; used it on my beema as they have terrible brake dust issues.

basically i removed each wheel one at a time and washed them thoughly (inside and out) with dishwashing detergent.

Dried the wheel and sprayed a nice liberal coat on....waited 30mins and applied a second coat before putting the wheel back on the car.

Process was repeated with other wheels; basically a high pressure hose at the local carwash would remove most of the brakedust and every now and then i would give my wheels a wash with car shampoo.....no need to scrub as the dust just comes off.

I've been using a wheel wax.

I will give giving this stuff a go. A spray would be much easier to use than having to wax on, wax off.

Tried NON acidic wheel cleaner? Spray on, leave it on for a few minutes, and hose off. Sparkeles the wheels, cleans off any crap build up. But you still should use a 2nd sponge to take off remaining residue. Then I would suggest applying this brake dust repellent product.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
