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's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
