this is freaky was only thinking last thursday when I was buying a quick clay kit and some polish that if it would ever turn up.... Yet to see mine but everything takes a bit longer down here in old Adelaide :thumbsup:

Ok so I didnt really look at what these "samples" were when i got them earlier, thought i'd just sus them when i gave the stag a quick was thisarvo...

Anyway I got some glass polish and super resin polish and 2 sachets of fancy car wash.

My exterior detailing kit now has:

Numerous car wash soaps

Clay bar

Quick detailer

Wax

Polish

Cut and polish

Metal Polish

Glass polish

super resin polish

Tyre shine

bumper detailer

(plus more i would have forgotten)

Seriously when will it end? how long do you guys spend washing the wagons? I seem to find myself giving it one good wash (takes half a day) and polish a month with a weekly or bi-weekly wash in between these "mega washes"

Thinking meguires has got me good on some good marketing techniques....

Ah im out washing mine proberly once or twice a week normally. With a full Exterior detail once every two weeks. ( Lots of spare time :) ) However lately haven't got to give it a good wash or detail, due to excessive work and rain and other commitments. But just finished a good detial then and i trialled the auto glym glass polish. Very happy with the results. However it made more work for myself as it showed up all the marks on the inside lol! :D

i find with the glass polish, the longer you leave it on the eaiser it is too take off,

i wash mine every week, may leave it 2 weeks before i wash it but that rarely happens,

the wife hates my detailing addiction, i must have $1500 - $2000 worth of stuff, its forever growing too lol,

the big detail (4 times a year) takes me all day (8-9 hours) to do the stag if i polish, wax it, i must be sad, i find detailing one of the most relaxing things to do.

I wash mine everytime it's hard to see where i'm going... :action-smiley-069: no,really i'm not fan of washing it because the second day after washed is all dirty again and because it shows all the details :happy: (about 5 dent and various scratches)

Beeing a daily drive is hard on her...

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
