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 ..)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
