could be the clear coat coming off

sometimes that can make it look like a respray in areas

I think it definitely is in some places.

Though I found some black spray paint on the front passenger window which sparked my thinking.

Haha very wary of crossthreading, all good!

But yes, my delicate hands were not made to work on the GTR. I have 2 small grazes, a bump on my arm and a small chunk of skin missing from my finger but GTR now has fire extinguisher!!

Get yourself a few pairs of these >> http://www.signet.net.au/store/products/40857/ansell-hyflex-11-618-gloves-size-9-12-pairs-per-box

or similar for working on the car, we have to wear gloves at work and I borrowed a few pairs for home. I've gotten so used to working in them I feel like something is missing if start playing with the car without gloves on.

Pulled the Twin Turbo pipe off and the Apexi intake pipes for polishing.

Also getting Sin's old polished plenum re-polished as well.

Only thing I could get off is the rear turbo elbow pipe. May have to paint this black!!

Washed and started polishing the SkyHatch but not finished...

Got involved in much more exciting things like pruning the roses but did a Green Waste run in it. Practical it is.

I'll finish it of tomorrow and Vac.

also got my N13 Haynes Repair Manual today for $20. :D

Started the skyline for the first time in a few days.. It really wasn't happy and was running on 5 cylinders for a few seconds. I'm guessing it will only get worse if I leave it for longer periods..? Any recommendations?

Might check the plugs when I get a chance, it's almost been 10k.

I don't have any problems starting the GTR after longer periods besides battery (problem solved leaving trickle charger on it).

I also don't remember the last time I got 10k out of a set of plugs! :)

You mean like tuning it up to the edge and drag racing? :yes: Yeah, that will give the plugs a hammering.

Sold VC commodore today for a small profit :yes:

Not an easy thing to do these days. Nice one.

Gave mine a quick wash, its losing gloss in some areas, maybe its just the wax, but it will get another polish soon anyway.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
