honestly i find it sooo relaxing. I don't view it as cleaning it. I view it as general maintenance. It has not had a full clean in a long time as it's been going in and out of the shop. So when i get it back im going all out. It will finally get the attention it deserves!

Will research.

Would think perhaps a chemical and rotating wire brush with facemask (to stop chemical splatter and help not breathing in checmicals)

Depending on the size of the area needing stripping.

Give one of the Smash repairers/paintshops a call

Dunno if Paint Stripper would work? But you can get a gel paint stripper that clings better than a liquid. 1 Litre was less than $20 at Bunnings... maybe even under $15.

For our XY, dad and I just used a heat gun and a scraper... Really easy, really simple and quite quick.

We did it a few years ago now but I think all I did was warm up the area, then hold the heat gun at the base of the scraper then scrape. Just make sure that there is no angles which can make the heat come back onto you... I learnt that the hard way :P

Washed the girl today. Re-blacked all wipers and cowl cover, added some mad angle to that gtr wing. Quite a productive day if I do say so myself. Oh how I love weekends :D

Especially long ones :yes:

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
