Meguiars MLS :thumbsup:

Edit:

It's not cheap. Metal Life Saver ($39 ?)

You use a light scourer on/off - wear ruber gloves

Then Polish with metal polish

Comes in a pack with all you need including the MLS and All metal polish, gloves, cloth and scourer/applicator.

..........oh and then go through a Hazchem shower :P

I think my car is actually slightly quieter now since my Stock Dump came off and the Bellmouth went on.

Having seen that the original gasket was in 2 pieces makes me think I also had an Exhaust leak.

Slight low rev squeal is gone too. hmmmm....

Fixed stereo in Tokyo taxi. Found some wires touching in the boot.

Was making the volume go up/down and front to back by itself. Weird !

Maybe took a corner or two a bit hard - the sub had shifted (found 2 of 4 screws loose on the floor).

oh and just finished fixing toilet leakage/run on :sick:

Instructions say:

Hydrochloric acid, reacts vigorously with alloy. :O

No thanks, it might work well, but one little slip up and ill have stains etched into my polished rim.

Bowdens is working ok but it wont get the stains out.

I realize now that anything strong enough to get those stains off is too dangerous for my liking.

Ill have to use a more mechanical solution: Autosol and wire brush might work.

And ive had to run a file around the back of two rims, to get the dags and sharp edges off.

Yes... taking a hand file to Volks. :devil:

Edited by D.I.Y. Mik

Depending on how vigorous a wire brushing you are planning on doing, go the spinny roundy brush on a drill.

Cleaned up ALL the crap inside of my Rims nicely. (can lend if you don't have) :)

Swapped out my adjustable caster rods and camber arms to replace with stock ones.

Raised car to 110mm at the lowest point for vehicle inspection

smaller exhaust hangers to raise exhaust 5mm

Installed child restraint anchors

Degreased/washed ender side of car

installed OEM looking gear knob

Removed Power FC Hand controller

Removed rear wiper/motor and replaced with MFR delete plug

Hopefully thats everything to pass Dickson

Oooh that looks the goods. ;)

Brushes don't last long do they? Brings back some horrible Wheel cleaning memories...

Reminds me, probably should finish that sometime. :laugh:

found a weird one while searching for a solution

soak aluminium foil in coke or vinegar, and use like sandpaper :huh:

I think the coke is for alloy and vinegar for steel, dunno ill try it and find out.

Theres also clay bar, il give that a go but on the cleaner areas.

It seems theres no clear or anything as polishing compound goes black quickly. Ill have to give it a spray with something to protect it after.

Dropped Rosie off at Dyno Tune to get a 5k service and to fix some light bulbs :D Next stop will be breaks, I'll see how next pay goes.

I went through the pits at dickson today and i got knocked back due to not having an "engine tune up sticker" also for not having an english owners manual and i need all the japanese stickers replaced with english stickers.

Does anyone know where to get a tyre placard in english for the r32 gtr?

They also asked for me to provide stock track measurements from nissan

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
