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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
