I don't know whats more scary.. the fact that he asked or the fact that you know

Used to detail cars, NEVER wanted to know what I was cleaning but carpet shampoo Usually gets MOST things out and if that doesn't degreaser works on most other things.

Did you guys actually plan anything for the cleanage of the cars?

I might be up for something provided I actually get my car back in time.

Would also appreciate any tips on good products for cleaning the engine bay. Not sure if I'm that motivated but just in case :blush:

Just use degreaser on everything (might want to put plastic bags over sensitive bits and clean with degreaser and a rag) and rinse it off. Don't do it while the engine is hot, but about 10-15 minutes after it's been off. Won't deform anything and the warm engine will dry water if it's gotten anywhere it shouldn't. Start the car once your done to ensure it dries out. After having it run for 5 minutes let it cool down a bit again and use a plastics cleaner (armorall sell a pretty cheap one) to spray everything with and start your car (again) to make sure it dries.

I don't like using water in the engine bay, do it at your own risk. I've had one car run a bit funny after doing it, I dried all the connections and after a while I got it back to normal, but I'm sure if you don't do this all while the car is warm worse could happen. I've detailed about 20 engine bays and only had one small and easy to fix problem. Not sure what other peoples experiences are. Just don't spray water on your engine while it's still at normal running temps. It will deform the metal. When I do mine and Shell's I'll be sealing the valley and doing that bit with a rag - Don't want water sinking down there.

Well I'm not going away this weekend anymore so

still meeting at the usual spot on saturday morning?

The event is on Sunday the 21st I think this is the 3rd time I have pointed it out in this thread!!

ITS ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deep Breath :bunny:

I'll be there, but car will most likely be covered with bugs and other associated stuff as I'll be at the coast the day before. Unless I can be bothered giving it a good wash the night before.

Kat, we're using Damo's driveway in Melba... there's enough room for 2 cars in front of the double garage... but if you wanted to join us you could probably fit behind as the driveway is long enough :bunny:

Thanks chick, at this stage count me in. With any luck I'll get my car back in time :S

I'm going to be buying some stuff for me and Shell to clean our cars with, did you want me to pick up some stuff for you too? If so, just tell me what your planning on cleaning (e.g. Just exterior and engine bay, plastics, carpet). I've already got a bit of stuff left over from the last time I did this so I might not even have to buy much.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
