I need my lights sorted.

I'm possibly looking at converting them over to Xenon's (strike that, i want them done, but i want it done properly) but for the moment i just need the lenses' cleaned up. Driver's side has that "someone washed the inside this one time" look about it.

Any ideas where to head?

Depends on the type of kit. On most you do actually have to cut a whole. I think the Trust and ARC ones you don't though... either way it is still an easy job.

yeh man, do it yourself, you dont even need to cut a hole for the piping on skylines.

I did with mine, though mine's an R32. Had to cut a hole in the vertical surface beneath where the battery sits. Went out and bought a 4" hole saw to do it too if you need to borrow it, though the auger's screwed.

A mate tried and failed to install it on the weekend, cut a hole and whatnot but couldn't get the piping to meet up properly, which was why I was thinking i'd probably need to get a place to do it for me :P It's all just looking kind of shithouse atm... If he couldn't do it I certainly can't do it on my own.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
