what polishes etc and polisher did you use

Can't remember off the top of my head sorry, will have to look through past emails to see if Eugene mentioned what he uses.. I didn't do the detail myself

looking good btw :rolleyes:

Cheers mate, been admiring your car in the thread you started recently, seems we have very similar tastes when it comes to modifying these cars :) I have changed my car a lot from when I bought it also.. Have thought about starting a thread onit, one day, maybe when it's more complete ha...

Nice one Anthony. Can always trust Eugene to do a top class job. Did he say that the yellow was any harder to work on than other colours?

Very much so Matt! Ahh I don't remember if he said it was very hard or not, he did spend a lot of time onit though! Did you end up getting a detail done from him recently?

Looks amazing mate beautiful car!

Thanks mate, seen a few pics of your car around also.. looks very clean, hopefully see it in person one day. you going to old pac highway cruise next sat night? I should be there if you decide to come.. would like to see a few 23Rs there :)

No not yet mate. Has been hard to find a weekend off lately, for both of us.

I think Eugene uses Menzerna, but also a few other brands too.

fair enough mate.. and yea that rings a bell for him using that stuff...

you getting next sat night off for the old pac cruise above? should be pretty fun.. would be good to catchup either way..

It's interesting isn't it that with Eugene's paint thickness gauge - on R34 GTRs...

* 230 microns with Bayside Blue

* 195 microns with Midnight Purple III

* 125 microns with Yellow

* 90 microns with White (albeit on an N1)

very interesting!

im guessing the yellow and the whites are thinner (guessing a non N1 white would be around the 125mm mark also) as they dont contain any pearl/metallic particals maybe?... dont really know?..

This makes sense. If the paint is a clearcoat type there will probably also be another layer on top to factor in.

Don't think I'll be at Old Pac unfortunately mate, but maybe catch you at the next one.

Btw out of curiosity did you realise putting the letters "GTR" in all caps next to each other in the thread title would result in the forums changing it to "Gtr" which is why you added spaces? So detail-minded, haha :)

The colour code may be identical but it's the number of coats / depth of the coat on the N1 that's likely to be thinner. There were a whole bunch of weight saving measures on the BNR34 N1 some of which were very minute.

It all adds up.

Yeah I guess the slight irony is that with the N1s designed to go to race teams there would be livery (vinyls, stickers, etc) commonly applied to the body, adding weight again. But the thinner paint (if it is in fact thinner) would help offset that...

Back OT, Anthony, did Eugene advise you on what product you should use on the car now that it has a sealant applied, to maintain the finish; and how often?

Cheers

Yes i did ask Eugene for some guidance about how to keep it looking good.

Pretty simple really.

PH balanced wash with microfibre sponge/wash mit so it doesnt strip the wax, and inbetween washes dust/dirt can be removed with microfibre towels and quick detailer. washed only when required etc.. will require more sealant as required also etc..

to be honest, keeping my car clean has been really easy, as its only a weekender etc, and not driven regularly, it usually gets a waterless clean after every drive if i have time :) bit over the top, but easier than a full wash and probably less damaging if im only removing road grime etc.. wipes of very easy with a good sealant onit!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
