Okay like most I have armorall lying around from gifts etc

Use it to detail the tyres mostly

My doorhandles and glovebox handle thingo are nearly white

Most people say armorall is the devils work etc.

My older revhed mates all say hit the handles repeatedly with the armorall

will eventually make em look the correct color

what is everyone using my handles look bad

rest of the interior is pretty resonable

other than the remnants on my dash of the black silicon previous owner used to attach the boost gauge

that will be the next mission I guess

Any suggestions????????????????

I accidentally got a couple of drops of the stuff on my new leather gear boot. instantly took the color out of it. Now on the blue leather there is a couple of white spots that I'm stuck with. Not looking forward to the comments that passengers may come up with ;)

I wont be using it again. Slightly Damp cloth FTW

Armor all is evil

It's basically a mix of solvent and sealer. The solvent gets in and attacks the plastic (vinyl / whatever) and the sealer seals it in to let it keep attacking.

You be the judge.

And it costs about 25c a bottle to make.

I detail cars for a living and have found anything Maguiars is the shit! Not only do they work well but all their products smell good too, doesnt smell like chemicals. Amour all is absolute crap and will cause damage eventually.

If the plastic wont go back to its original colour try a bee's wax, that fixes most things! If that fails you may have to replace the parts effected.

Hope this helps.

I use Mothers Naturally Black, you can buy from any auto shop.

Pour onto the plastic, let it sit on it for a couple of minutes, then massage it into the plastic. Then buff it after it has dried. Its a longer process than all the typical black restorations, but this is different as it isnt just some black liquid to hide the faded plastic.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
