Hey everyone,

I have a formal on the Gold Coast coming up soon and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in driving my partner and myself to the event. I would be happy to get your car professionally detailed and you would be welcome to attend the small pre-drinks event if you wish.

Thankyou,

Mitchell

Woah, what's your limit on the car detail? eg, a detail on the coast by Driven by Shine would be $500-700 range :whistling:

I just checked that website and it said $60 and $25 for each additional hour. I'm not familiar with that company but do they have like extra costs for luxury/sport cars?

To qualify for this service you would have just had a Exterior Protection or Correction treatment performed, or the vehicle is near new. Recommended to be weekly or fortnightly.

Better off putting a value on it mate. As has been mentioned, people have different ideas about what "detailing" is. I don't think any one would hit you up for a $700 session, but you have to outline what your expectations are. Owners of these cars are not going to take it to the local indian carwash for a cheap wash. Keep in mind, there are lots of these requests, and good on ya for being a bit different.

Good Luck, and hope you have a good ride/ great time.

Thanks for the advice dude, didn't even see that condition on that website. I found a $300 pre-sale interior and exterior detail on the coast, so I would probably use that.

I would post what those services entail but the text is appearing strange on the forum, so if you would like to see, go to this site and scroll to the $300 service http://elitedetail.com.au/car_detailing/services.html\

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
