Yeah it's so hard getting the bicycle out in the mornings and seeing my poor baby sitting there on 3 wheels, sulking, saying to me, "RESPECT, is this what you call RESPECT?!?" Then I sulk away on my 20 min ride to work :D

So hopefully now that it'll be going to Gav's it wont bother me so much, wont see it for a bit, but then I know it's going to be fixed next time i see it :)

It's the shiny mags I reckon, eyes to glitterfied by the chrome to notice the brakes :D

Sorry? Whats that Mr. Jelly Mags? :)

I painted my calipers and hubs gloss black and sanded the NISSAN lettering back to bare metal...

The dignified look... :D

maybe you need a ricier colour

A ricier colour? Nah.. I needed something to offset the ridiculous amount of blue lighting I have in my cabin... :D

It was meant as a good thing, I love chrome mags, reckon yours look awesome, but because they are a real eye catcher, the callipers become un-noticable, Bah anyway maybe i should get a sticker "TEAM CHEAPA$$!" :)

It's cool... Thanks for the compliment... I just took it as a great chance to have another go at your beaching... :D

strutto they arnt chrome mags are they? they looked more polished to me then chrome.

painted calipers will look rank on my wheels as the spokes split in 2 and you can see between them. My car is coming together really well now i just need to focus on the little things to give it that extra nice touch!

So you'll do it for four people, sweet! Still need me to order the green or do you want the part number (SP737) so you can order, I dont mind either way, just give us the word and I'll ring up my nearest autobarn and order it in? :)

If you want me to order, 2 will be enough for 4 hubs and 4 calipers right?

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
