hey,

will i finally got around to removing my side door nismo sticker, and after removing the first letter, i found out that the sticker had been clear coated :( So after removing the whole sticker, i can still see the NISMO up close :D

Does anyone have any idea how i can remove it or what to do thanks?

Or try straight eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and rub the residue off. You can buy it from coles or woolies in the mecidinal section. Also good for mozzie bites. It gets rid of the sticky residue or paper residue left behind by stickers. I have never used it on a car body, but its been fine on glass, walls, cupboards etc.

I wouldnt bother trying to fix it. I had a blitz access ecu sticker on my bonnet when it came into the country. After spending 6 hours picking it off (it had been baked on by the sun), i realised that it had taken the layer of clear coat off the top of the paintwork. I highly doubt a buff will fix this, ive tried everything with not even a slight reduction.

Dont think its been clearcoated onto the paint, but it being there for so long has caused it to come off with the sticker. On mine you can actually feel that the area where the sticker was on is lower than the rest of the paintwork! badness!

:D

Are you 100% it has taken the clearcoat off mike? stickers have a tendancy to leave adhesive on the door that looks similar to that, a bit of prepsol would remove it.

I doubt they would have clearcoated over the sticker, and if they had, the sticker would have been damn near impossible to remove.

I could be wrong, but you should try some prepsol to remove residue, then a nice cut and polish to bring it back up.

memphis, im guessing its clearcoat :s , thats why i post the photo. when i remove it like clear stuff come off with the sticker.

To get it off i use hairdrier, after the sticker came off there was white stuff left behide, which i guess was glue so i use methylated spirits to remove that, but like i said above clear stuff came off with the sticker and i can also pick at it

I guess they must have put a very fine coat over it, grab some cut n polish and see how that goes.

Normally adhesive on the sticker is clear...

make sure you get stuff thats clearcoat safe, you may need to get some 2000 wet n dry and cut back the clear a bit, then polish it. If you dont feel safe doing this a detailer can do it, but they charge alot.

thanks memphis :P

if u know any good detailers, u can recommend can u plz pm me them details (also if its in the magla that would be good)

also i have notice that when i feel the area the area which has the nismo is lower compair to the rest of the door (if u get me)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
