does anyone know whats the max time you can get your car detailed/polished per year without damaging your paint etc? ive got mine detailed 4 times since oct last year.

who did you go with for detailing here?

Washed the car for the first time after the detail. (Damn rain has been keeping me from doing this)

What a difference a detail makes to the ease of cleaning the car.

The dirt wipes right off the top, easy.

I didnt even realise how dirty the car was until i washed it, i guess i was used to it looking dull.

Another plus for having the car detailed, washes are now very easy.

And it looks the same as it did when mark did it, meaning the products are really doing their job.

i agree on that.

hes making good investments on those polish and wax he uses eh...

well you dont get that kinda value for money in brisbane...

costs more than $350 for inside and out here.

HAAAH ?!? What a rip ouch!

When i used to do mobile detailing, i'd charge ~$250 for in and out.

After the detail, the best thing you can do is look up ways to wash the car properly (ie washing without scratching. There's a couple of Aussie forums dedicated to detailing if you google.

He charged me $350 for about 6 hours work, no inside work. I told him he was recommended by Dr.Detail who did someones black v35 for $350 inside and out, and he said he cant do that. He said he would have to charge more if he did more work on the outside so i just got $350 worth.

If you've got a silver car, i wouldnt recommend it or try someone else who is a bit cheaper.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
