They run these events for all enthusiasts Erin - and you're no exception so...

definitely...

a) get the bodywork and rims/tyres squeaky clean (including behind the fuel filler flap)

b) clay bar the panel work

c) polish the car and get out the swirls

d) apply sealer

e) apply canauba wax

f) get rid of every shred of grime in the engine bay, and coat the plastic bits.

One extra hint:- as the judges come around, ask them if they'd like to check behind the fuel filler flap.

Q. Why?

A. Guys always forget to clean that compartment.

You girls are always good at asking questions. You might as well put it to advantage! :thumbsup:

erin - what do you want to do that for? like, really... what do you wanna enter it in a show n shine?

i mean - if you're proud of it and it doesn't cost money to enter you have nothing to lose..

but really - if it's going to cost $200 like autosalon does...

...then why bother? why pay $200 so that some idiot can "scoff" at your entrance?

that $200 could go towards a lot nicer things for your car :)

furthermore... while i'm getting my rant on...

...i have NEVER understood why car owners are made to PAY to enter THEIR CARS into autosalon..

i mean - you go to a music festival - the bands and dj's get paid as they are the focal point of the event, the organisers pay them money because without them... there would BE no music festival?

so why does every car entrant have to pay so much money, when without them - there would BE no autosalon?

I've been saying that for years.... it's because the organisers are in it to make money. But without the cars, there would be no show... Entry should be free or THEY should even pay the competitors to put their cars in!! Why put in all the time and effort, just to have a bunch of people walk around looking at your car and if it's worthy maybe take a few pics... maybe get a trophy? big deal, people see my car every time I drive it on the road :laugh:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
