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

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
