practical advice, no harm in over-accessing as there really is no such thing, silver also happens to be the most flattering colour when it comes to blemishes and scratches

lol science of washing a car...

Wanna know how I do it? $5 Armorall heavy duty wash and a $2 jumbo sponge. 4 caps in a regular bucket as you're filling it with water. Clears the sinuses and as a bonus it also cleans your car. Squirt panel with water, soap it up, squirt again.

Put some effort into waxing and the washing part won't need to be rocket science. On that note, I use a $7 paste wax that continues to bead after 6 months. Come at me premium products:

I'll one-up Birds for tightass-ism.

I use morning fresh detergent, and just a simple hand polish if needed - see below example

Paint job @ this point was straight off the gun, totally un-sanded/cut. Just simply washed with good ole dishie detergent and chamois dried :)

That said though i did see Waxit (SAU Trader) for some products to clean the exhaust/fuel stains off the rear of the GTR, but that is a different story (product worked very well I must say).

Dish soap strips wax !! cleans the car filth but dulls the wax job

Armour all !! Really who uses that crap on anything ?

same as kitten ?

A paint job costs a mint in oz and you want to save a few bucks ? price a paint job that will change your mind

Never use a sponge !! It traps dirt and saves it for scratching , microfiber towls rinsed out often and washed after each use " without fab softener !" It causes smears

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
