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.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
