The cheap Import brand wheel cleaner from Autobarn works great for the price. Spray your callipers too. :thumbsup:

If you are worried about the polished alloy, try the less agressive acid free ones, but they dont work as well.

I concur Bendix ultimates being dusty as hell...

and yep I agree the Iron x stuff sounds like an awesome answer brake dust removal...

he did say he has pics of it being used on his website but his shop is empty...

It seems only waxit has it for sale, just a shame the postage is $12.50, group buy??... I want 500ml

Does anyone know the diff between the gel and the paste, it says the paste will allow it do work over longer time, does that mean it will get even more stubborn brake dust build up off?

Should I get the paste of the gel?

No one else lives on the Central Coast or works in the Sydney CBD that I can tempt to get some Iron X with me?

Im trying to save on the postage cost?

Im yearning for this stuff, Ive got two sets of rims that are freshly powdercoated but have brown haze on them from brake dust....

this stuff should make em look new again...

Im pretty keen to get some mainly from seeing it in action from Mitch's work and hearing other great results.

When are you planning to get some?! :D

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
