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)

    • 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
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
