need your help fellas!

Looking to purchase a polisher, deciding between the GEX125 AC Pro and 150T. i know the 150 has a polisher setting, but between the two models the specs looks around the same. i was thinking the 125 would be better for the tighter spaces when polishing.

What are your guys opinions?

Thanks in advance!

bit pricey though, i special ordered mine through bunnings - showed them the price etc for it off sydneytools and they beat it by 10% .. thats the best deal I could get it for!

I dont use any backing plate :) the FI pads fits mine just right

Yeap, as long as you mask up the rubbers well i managed to do everywhere. most machines are too big for everywhere really and you still need to give some spots a good hand polish

If you are looking for a Random Orbital that has interchangeable backing plates and more power that the GEX150T but costs $229 you might want to look at the Concours 900 Polisher at Waxit Car Care.

You can also find a range of kits to go with the Concours 900 Polisher HERE.

I bought the 125 and then realised that it was no where near as effective at the 150T as the 150T has both the forced rotation mode (which is what you want) and random orbit. Went out and bought the 150T, as stated before Final Inspection highly recommend this unit, and it makes a big difference having a unit that can do forced rotation. I had to have the 125 held lightly against the cars surface otherwise it would bog down and just vibrate on one spot.

having struggled with an old Bosch RO only and then upgrading to a 150T, forced rotation is DEFINITELY the way to go.

a few friends have gone to Rotaries and didn't find them as scary as they thought. Obviously need to be more careful, but they said they're soo much quicker again of their prev units (Rotex jobbies $$$) - depends how serious you think your hobby is going to get :D

scr34min order it from bunnings, if you show them the price of it from sydneytools bunnings will beat it by 10% .. :D

thats what i did

also im in perth as well ... with a gex150T + pads + polishes sitting around ..

i do need to order the heavy cutting pad/polish still though

ive only got medium and extra fine ones atm

if you need any help or anything let me know :)

i have exams real soon but after that I should be quite free ...

^ i got mine for about 350 ..

no pads though

but from melb you'd have to pay delivery and whatnot ...

about the same really hahah

if you go down the bunnings route

show them that :)

oh yeah, i remember paying around $360 now that i think about it....

but still, $50 worth of pads in there, plus whatever was postage on them.

but yeah, probably the best deal for Melbourne ppl

    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
    • Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
