I saw a number of products at Repco that says it removes this and that, not sure if I can remember seeing one specifically for Tree Sap though.

Maybe try soaking it first for a while, get an old Rag, wet it with warm water (maybe the warmer the better) and just leave it on the sap and let it soak for a while, then try scrubbing it off?

Hope you can get rid of it, good luck.

Razor blade on glass is quite easy actually.

That is how carwashes remove stickers, etc from the windows.

It is not that hard, or subsequently take it to the car wash and get them to do it for you.

Razor blade followed by clay bar :)

Don't worry, it won't scratch your glass. Try and get those long thin razor blades that can sort of bend to the glass' shape. Once you've done that, simply follow up with clay bar to get it back to normal.

I've heard eucalyptus oil works too, but i haven't tried/seen it done.

Tried most except for the eucaliptus oil to no avail...got my side windows tinted this w/e and the guy doing them let me know that it wasn't tree sap but acid rain marks.

He recommended a clay bar and window cleaner for moisture....tried it and it kinda work, reduced some of the spots but not all of them. I guess i need to do it a few times to get a better result

For tree sap, i can tell you that hot soapy water works. I got it off my paint easily. Use almost-boiling hot water, and have the car sitting in the sun for a while before pouring it over the affected areas.

Then wipe it off with a soft cloth. You wont believe how easily it comes off. I tried metho and a host of other scary things. They didnt work.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
