Hey guys I have got some scff marks on my car. Theres also a few spots which are "dirty" or brown in colour but no matter how much a sponge it, it doesn't go away. Will a clay bar do anything? Have a look at the pics. Sorry I took some tonight. If you look around the nissan badge it's a bit smudgey.

Any help would be appreciated.

Call Antonio at Waxit.com.au 9330 2177, they have small bottles of polishes, explain to him what its for and order a bottle and a hand pad that they have in stock (much better than just a applicator).

Regards,

Mitch

I just use jiff some people say its to abbrasive but ive never had problems after uding it snd it gets off anything.

Never had problems until you continually use it and end up with no clear left its WAY to abrasive, and if you had an eye for paint you would see substantial swirls and marring where used.

NO WAY I WOULD EVER USE OR RECCOMEND USING IT ON SOMEONES CAR.

its just as cheap and ALOT better to buy Poorboys SSR1 and a hand polishing pad from Waxit so why not do it properly, dont see the point in spending so much money on a car and have your pride and joy just to skimp on proper maintinence....but thats just me maybe.

Had similar problems on the passenger sideskirt from previous owners girl friend wearing high heels and actually putting scratches on there grrr and these don't come out

Everything comes out :) you just got to know what to use and how.

I strongly suggest calling Antonio at Waxit.com.au ask about the hand polishing pads and little polish bottles and they will come out :)

Regards,

Mitch

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
