So, long story short - car has been scratched because of a garage issue. Wont go into it as im still upset..

anyway, the paint is gone, and the scratch is too long and wide for that stupid pen. Will have to get it fixed eventually, but is there any stuff i can buy like those magic pens except easier to apply with a paint brush? Will need to protect it from rust.

They're double sided pens with my exact paint color code. so for stone chips etc you just apply with the pen and on the other side is a clear coating to seal it. Its only good for little chips we all get on our front bumper really.

Ogz, im in brisbane but looked up the touchupguys here and they seem legit. Will take before and after pics for anyone whose interested in brisbane.

there is now new restrictions in terms of shipping this from overseas.. Due to its liquid substance majority of the dealers there do not choose to sell this to overseas customers, however you can always try. I tried before and failed, so i just went to local nissan dealer parts and got mine for $15.00.

went to nissan today they have it, its a nail polish sorta thing and you apparantly apply it, the guy there didnt know anything about it, so im wondering do you need to prep the car or do anything before applying it? also does it blend with the colour and surrounding or would it stick out like a sore thumb?

Ive used the same from g35parts, IMHO they are ok for very small areas, anything other than that you`re better off getting it done either at a bodyshop (dependant on extent of damage) or by some touch up franchise (do your research first as Ive seen some appalling work)

My bodyshop does stuff like full bumper respray etc and I use chipsaway (local franchise) for any light scratching/stone chips elsewhere.

Good luck in getting your 350 sorted

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it. Have a fish around amongst these hits https://www.google.com/search?q=surface+mount+transistor+m33&sca_esv=9cb49794e0b2005d&source=hp&ei=2vJ5aNjTB7Kw0PEPldnS8QM&iflsig=AOw8s4IAAAAAaHoA6qkfmF6XcygtrZ4Vu9f92NXF_RFd&ved=0ahUKEwjYqIPP7MWOAxUyGDQIHZWsND4Q4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=surface+mount+transistor+m33&gs_lp=Egdnd3Mtd2l6IhxzdXJmYWNlIG1vdW50IHRyYW5zaXN0b3IgbTMzMgUQIRigATIFECEYoAEyBRAhGKABMgUQIRigAUjKCFAAWABwAHgAkAEAmAHfAaAB3wGqAQMyLTG4AQPIAQD4AQL4AQGYAgGgAuYBmAMAkgcDMi0xoAfMBLIHAzItMbgH5gHCBwMyLTHIBwU&sclient=gws-wiz

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
