Where Do You Wash Your Pride And Joy?


Recommended Posts

I use the sparkling car wash in Burwood. It's right near the Vicroads. Good for bucket washing when times are quiet. Always have fairly clean bays too, and plenty of space to chamois or clean/admire your car.

Yeah i wash there too..its only 2 minutes down the road from my house.i wanna try the new one near the burvale on burwiood hwy tho

hahaha. tkdbboy isnt that car wash one of those leave your car there and people clean it ? i didnt think you could clean your own car there or can you? i only driven past it once or twice

I travel all the way to Sparkling Car Wash once every fortnight to wash my car there too with all of my friends.. we try to go when there's no one else there because we tend to fill up the whole place haha.

Once the one opens on Williamsons Road, I'll be going there to try it out too since it's 5 mins from home but Sparkling will probably be the main home for me to meet with everyone to wash at since they all live out east /south east side, it's a central meeting spot for us!

Yeah Sparkling always has some Civic or Subaru meet going on there. I admit it's close to home (main reason for going there), but I always feel at home there because it's like a car enthusiasts car wash. I reckon a good 80% of the cars that go there are sports cars, particularly in the bucket washing hours.

i only go to sparkling carwash cos i usually dont have any wheel cleaner and i need to hit up the K-mart down the road. the entrance and exit are quite scrapable for lowered cars

oh and...http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Me...tr-t190805.html

wow im surprised how many ppl on sau actually go to and use that sparkling cvar wash on burwood hwy thats pretty close to my house i always drive past i rarely see skylines there lol. i use sometimes the bp ones but my favourite is the aspendale gardens car wash corner of springvale n wells road.

what is this sparkling carwash? sorry for the n00b question, cars been in the shop for 6 months now.

yeahh the entrances on sevenoaks rd for the carwash burwood hwy isnt the best...going in its alright but coming out you will probably scrape even on angle...i alwasy use the one way entrance on burwood hwy :happy: so i dont scrape..

Has anyone seen those guys selling car wash in a can at the servos...they ask ridiculous prices but you can barter heaps and get it for half what they are asking...i reckon the stuffs brilliant..

i washed 3 filthy cars with it and still had a half a can left..plus it leaves a nice waxy shine afterwards....im not selling the crap..but i do think its good

plus its waterless so good for the environment...which means i can spend 10 mins in the shower now >_<

when i say half , i mean a quarter of the original price they quote which they then half..

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
