Thanks

I did wet sand, although with very fine grade... 1000 then 3000 grit.

Used Meguiars PlastX to cut/polish it, then Meguiars plastic UV protectant to seal it up. The UV protectant is actually really hard to source unless you buy that heavy duty headlight restoration kit.

Thanks

You can either get the Meguiars heavy duty headlight restoration kit which comes with all the stuff you need, costs around $65: http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g3000-heavy-duty-headlight-restoration-kit/

OR you can buy http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotive/products/g17110-headlight-protectant/ separately

I had bits and pieces from various kits with sanding and buffing pads which basically made up the Meguiars kit, you'll end up with the same results if you just buy the kit, you'll be able to use it more than once.

If you only want to get the protectant though here it is on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Meguiars-G17110-Headlight-Protectant-10-oz-/140709679655?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20c2f35227&vxp=mtr

Might be lucky and find it on the shelf at autobarn. You'll definitely find the whole kit there though.

Yep, I actually sat my phone down behind the car recording to make sure its all working ok and its much brighter now.

Never knew it was so easy to take the lights out until I removed the number plate to clean behind it.

I was quite surprised when I found out that the reverse light requires a different wattage bulb to the fog light, they are the same fitment and size otherwise o_O

In NSW early 2013, for Sau Members, there'll be a Tech Night compliments of Meguiar's.

Sizeable discounts will be on offer - or just enjoy a free night with the club.

Nice work on those lights!

When I get soot on these from burning rich, I just wipe up with Malco Banana Wax. It's Nanotech action doesn't affect the UV sealant (whereas polish will).

Only in nsw? :(

Hi Andrew,

I would become a SAU.VIC Member and ask the Exec to...

Contact Matthew Bowen who runs these Club Nights (aka Tech Nights via SAU) to see if Meguiar's will run one in VIC?

Andrew Spira is sympathetic to these Club Nights too (and he's the Gen Mngr + owns a R34 GT-R VS2 Nur)

[email protected]

Any estimates on when Terry? I'm quite keen on one of those for sure.

Thur 21/2/13 at their HQ in Silverwater.

Starts at 6 > ends sometime after 9. Includes eats & drinks free.

Includes 1x Demo of scratch/swirl removal + detail

Includes 1x Demo of C/F wrap on a panel.

It'll be in the Events thread next month or in the Members section.

That's the Prezzie's call. The complement limit is 35 people.

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
