Rodger turned up with all his gear and he spent from 9am till past 6pm on my car..

the paintwork had been washed by idiots during the life of the car so it had a huge

amount of spider web scratching all over, and a few deeper scratches to boot.

The results were amazing, as he said, "better than new".

Check it out..

He charged $450 which yeah it is steep, but he knows his stuff and gave the car

more attention than we expected it would need at the outset, so I think I got a

break on the price given the hours he spent. All the trim was taped up first, he

removed the spoiler. The whole nine yards.

if you use him tell him you saw the black skyline on SAU. I don't get any benefit from

this, just want to thank him for the work.

thats good. so please tell the work that he did from 9 am to 6pm? detailed with black paint and a brush? few layers of cream plus a couple buffs? did you have any scratches on your car down to the metal or were all the "spiderweb" scratches just in the layer of clear on top of the paint?

cheers

No black paint..

I'm summarizing but basically wash with new microfiber, then rinse, then clay bar,

then re-wash and re-rinse, then tape up all the trim, then use Xpert 1000 ultra polish

then Xpert 1500 polish, then machine pad glaze, then hand Xpert titanium paint sealant

and finally a carnuba wax. Somewhere in here obviously also interior, tires and alloys,

oh and all the glass which was fairly well covered with the usual plastics out-gassing haze..

its a lot of different chemicals towels, waxes and pads. hard to justify the expense of

doing this oneself because of all the crap you have to buy, including the high power light

rig etc. I like washing my own car as much as anyone, and can stretch to a wash and a

couple of layers of wax on a lazy afternoon -- but not further than that.

I do believe the base charge was $110! Well worth it in my opinion, do you see how shiny the damn brace is haha. Anyways he charged me extra due to the call out since I do live quite far away but I still was damn happy with the job and will call him to do the rest of my car.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
