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

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
