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!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
