Hey guys,

Well as some of you may or may not know, i'm getting married in september.

as a result. i need 2 cars detailed on the morning, however it'd have to be early.

I'm in the Hills. But can anyone recommend someone that will do a good job at about 7am?

They're commodores if it matters

Cheers

Nick

Commodores can be detailed anytime of the day or night, here's the tools you'll be needing;

Ok in all seriousness, you can detail a car the day (or week) beforehand then just keep them/it undercover until the day they're needed.

Or if undercover parking isnt an option, get them detailed the day before, then at 7am have someone out there giving them both an easy normal wash with a hose and a bucket just on the outside (get the morning dew off them) and leave time so they can dry in all the spaces like door jams etc. And of course, whoever does it in the morning has to do a decent job with a chamois

You know how long a full detail takes, right?

I used to be a detailer and do you have like 3-4 hours time in the morning for a full detail?? Lol, on your wedding day, thats the last thing you will want to be worrying about whether the car is ready. Get it fully detailed during the week, and all you need to do is give it a hose, in the morning and chamois it thoroughly. If you think its not shiny enough, just get some quick detailer spray and a polishing pad and just quickly rub over everything (or get someone else to do this for you) would only take 30 minutes and a quick vacuum inside if it's dirty.

Yep exactly.

A just detailed car should only need a quick rinse and wipe for months after.

I gave my GTR a full detail myself about 4 months ago and even last week, just a quick rinse and wipe and she's perfect.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
