Hey guys, i just picked up a bottle of the Nu Finish Cling Spray Shine, after a quick wash (car was only waxed about 2 weeks ago)

and a dry off you just mist it on, wipe over it with a cloth then pretry much instanty wipe again. For only being 14.99 a bottle i was quite happy with the results.

If anyone else has tried it id be interested in feedback/alternative spray quick shines, Thanks :)

+1 for FI :)

but off the shelf products i do like autoglym products, followed by megs/mothers

noone i love waxes that can be applied without drying, i use them on all my other cars.. but only the best for the skyline :P

i believe FI is releasing a spray wax sooner though .. meant to be similar to OCW which is another great spray wax

Nu finish is the devil. I had to paint a good mates bumper for him. He's the most over the top person when it comes to cleaning his cars (i never thought that could be a bad thing). The bar was painted three times because of the amount of silicon that the new finish left behind. Even after prepsol/wax n grease and correct prep work was done. In the end we degreased the living sh#t out of it and it was fine. Third time lucky i spose. Thats just my 2c anyway. If it was me I'd stick with the same as Jonno34 as far as off the shelf stuff goes.

From a chemist's perspective, if a person were to apply over time 4 different polishes > 4 different sealants etc, what's to say that the chemical of one might react with another from a different brand name; and through their incompatibility generate some marks or even flaking?

Has this ever happened?

I mean, if one used a process where Auto Glym was used throughout, or another guy was to use Menzerna throughout & a third guy was to use Meguiars throughout: each product would be compatible with another from the same brand. But surely these companies might end up using chemicals that are incompatible with chemicals from a different brand perhaps?

And if there was an incompatibility? What's the likelihood that the last product applied was blamed for some markings when in fact the product underneath it was the chemical 'time bomb'?

Heck I've even come across two skin creams that needed to be applied to the patients skin where cream A had to be applied throughout the day & the other called B shouldn't. So B had to be applied at night after washing.

Thoughts? > Experiences?

^ i used to be worried about that too, so whenever I bought new products I'd buy a whole companys lineup ..

was usually meguiars back then, and id pick products so that it was mostly all "nxt" stuff etc.

since starting to use FI stuff i went to a mostly FI range of products.

but FI does/used to sell alot of products that were not developed themselves, so the whole brand incompatibility might be disproved by that logic .. I use a range of brands now though, FI keep discontinuing products on their online store that have to be replaced with other brands while their still developing their new product pinch.gif so far I haven't had any problems using different brands of waxes, wash solution etc with my FI stuff :)

(ps did the coilovers arrive yet? - it was meant to arrive before xmas apparently ..)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
