Hi every1,

Some mutherf#@#$@ decided to tag the back of my car, albeit it was dusty so i guess they wanted to write their name in it.. which i was fine with until i discovered the tool they used scratched their tag into my paint....

the scratches are fairly light but still visible.. whats the best product to use to get rid of light scratches... isit possible? i tried using that glide on glaze stuff and buffed that.. didn't work.. tho it looks a lil shinier...

Damm sorry to hear that.

Try to buy a peoduct call "Turtle WAX" comes in lipstick form.

if its only light scratch it will cover it with same colour paint stick.

and easily buff off.

if not... well you jsut have live with it :)

damm it some poeple dont have respect for other people's property. :)

cheers

Joey

get a good cut and polish

and cut it back

glide on glaze is for shine

you need something a little stronger that will basically eat away a little clear coat which is where the bulk of the scratch is and then you buff that off and then stick a bit of 3M or mothers glaze shite on and good as new. if the scratch is still visible then the scratch is not a "light" scratch

i use this as well good product

not to get anyones nose out of joint but avoid cutting and polishing your car .

If you do it - ensure you limited it to once a year as each time your reducing your paint layers and make it more prone to fading and cracking etc. For that matter you should wax your car rather than polish as polishing removes paint where as wax adds a protective coating

My 2 cents

Have to agree with ECL27 & Bully

Meguires Scratch X is good schtuff for light scratching and waxing is the way to go.

Butt... I have not had to try to get rid of a scratch made by an idiot with some sharp object.

Good luck

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
