DIY :action-smiley-069:

for all those interested by the way - i am about halfway through doing a full glass restoration on my car - i've taken pics of EVERY step involved. glass is now MINT like brand new...

i tried about 7 different products

ranging from different things that i researched.

such as: (a combination of)

vinegar diluted in water

stainless steel cleaner

shower power

CLR

a metal polish called "Purple magic"

mild steel wool

and lastly...

a $7 bag of weapons grade Cerium Oxide i aquired

my windows were like CHALK. absolutely covered in lime and bore stains.. and for those of you who know me - also know how obsessive compulsive i am about small details. so wait for the write up on what i did - you know there will be good results if i did it. :)

a man can dream...

as much as i love the rarity of the cefiro. it's a shame they were never added to the SEVS list.. i would be bidding on this if i could :action-smiley-069:

5MT L-A31

all it needs is a matching bodykit and an owner that will love it :) shame it's a 1992.

Nic - i'd love to come help but every night this week i'm getting punched in the face instead.

be honest - which of you would forgo your cefiros for a gloria?

personally i would in a heart beat ... they're getting pretty cheap now too.. maybe if the cefiro sells i might be in the market for one.. who knows..

four doors rule..

cimas are too bulky. laurels are too old.. gloria - looks sporty and classy at the same time. and as you can see there. they're fkn badass. interior is like sex (well what i've HEARD about sex at least - never had it myself, wouldn't know)

There are some Cefiro's getting around in Perth that came in under SEVS.

That pearl pink one, is a 91 or 92, SEVS (somehow), imported a few years ago....just look up old stock on the Imports101 website.

I'd love a C35 Laurel if they were pillarless. Factory manual, with leather trim, and a sunroof. I'd do things for that experience.....bad things.

anyway as i was saying i did.. Well STARTED and got upto about halfway on restoring my glass... Mine was.. Really really... Realy bad.

We have gnarley bore water around here plus it was already in bad shape from jpan

Anyway. Before and after pics of one window.. This was not FINISHED by the way.. It had only has the oxide powder applied and not my final 2 stages.. :action-smiley-069: what you think?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
