I have a twin turbo pipe and also trying to get a Plenium from a 33 gtr, and i want to polish them up.

I want to polish out the ummm grain i guess you can call it to make it smooth and not bumpy and lumpy.

What would i need to use to sand that out of it?

Im not even thinking about getting it shinny till i have it smooth as smooth.

How?

thanks

That pipe still looks like its gota light glaze / polish from factory.

I guess if you sand it back to the bare metal you can use Metal Polish and just polish it like the same way you polish your car body paint.

Or ask Craved (Chris), he's usually got some good tips.

Last time he suggested to me some sorta silicon spray polish.

^^ read :P

alot of work, i have since found that a scotch brite pad on a grinder will help start off the sanding/grinding process without digging into the surface or putting many deep scratches in the metal.

you are looking at alot of work though :D

hot it with heavy sand paper to smooth it out, then hit it with something like this

to clear out the sanding marks in from the last step

then back to 400 grit

you can tell now why its not cheap to polish stuff haahaha

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

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

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
