This has been discussed before but thought I'd give it another plug. This stuff is the shizznit. It really works and converted my cloudy dull lenses to new. Sorry didn't take before and after pics.

p.s. mask the bodywork around the lense, it states on the bottle to avoid contact with paintwork

Looks like it's good stuff, Mark. Can we buy that at pretty much any car places in WA?

auto barn sells this shit! its the good stuff!

for people that are tinting the tail lights. advice is to get a good dark tint sprayed, after 24 hours cut and polish.. after thats done finish it up with this folish in the link.. comes up almost like the paint on your car.. no cop attention either as it looks ADR painted ;)

This was just before i did the last touch up of the plastic polish, n you can imagine what it comes up like.. i should post a later pic

Nice work, Aaron. Is that process reversible?

yeh it should be with some non aggresive paint thinner. i managed to get most of it off the previous car and polishing it back to clear..

I guess we shall see if the time ever has to come :P

ooohh but this stuff wont work if your headlights are yellow from the inside.. sometimes Jap take the bulb out before they send it as they know Aus compliance has to put a new one in anyway.. and the "hole" left unclosed for the bulb tends to stay open and all the salt watery air gets in there while its being shipped.

thats what makes it go yuck lol

i use plastx all the time. only thing is once ur lights start to cloud u need to clean it with plastx at least once every 3-4 months otherwise it will start to oxidise again, its not a permanent fix.

another tip for this is to clean them. take em to a panel beater. and ask them to clear coat! stays l;ike new, never oxidised, well from the outside/

paul had like a tinted film over his previous h/lights and they bubbled up under the heat

high temp clear coat may be the way to go. In fact it probably came with a protective coat from the factory which wears out over time....explains why it starts to cloud only after a couple of years.

^^^ i use this stuff

Nightcrawler put me on to it when i bought some old mags off him

you need to keep applying it every few weeks to keep the lenses sparkly but is paintwork safe.

i even use it as a wax on my old bluey and will spray on wax off as opposed to washing it!

does chrome, bumpers - basically anything you can think of except glass - because it is a wax...

I have used this as well. Started of with Brite-Shine first to get the bulk of the crap off, then finished of with this. In the pic the drivers side has been done the passenger side hasn't.

it looks like you havnt got lenses on! good job!

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
