I guess we could double up here and there, depends on final numbers? Shouldn't have to make it only 1 car per month. 12 aint many.

I also was kinda thinking if we could have thumbnails of all the cars across the top of all pages and change which of them is then blownup below.

Will SirSmokey32 be entertaining the idea of having a 32GTR and a 34GTT in there? Praps 2 spots?

Is Troy's Orange van gonna be in too? or the purple liner?

I've just detailed 4 cars including my GTR, GTT, VTiR, Magna Sports and tomoz will be M<atts Evo VIII.

Happy to share how I do eeeet.

Cejay - how bad is it. Only ask coz I attacked one today and came up ok.

gave it a light cut and it took off the calcification and mended the paint.

Got a fairdinkum buffing tool etc..

Did the wash, Clay bar, wash, very mild cut, wash, detail finisher stuff and 2 x waxing.

Thanks Richard. Are you doing that by habd or with a buffer?

Bit of both for the mild cutting - depending on the need.

The roof and bonnet of the Magana sports was farked so needed to use the buffer.

The roof has what appears to be calcification on it. Perhaps I'll try and see if I can cut and polish it myself, although I havent done it before.

I was going to say if you did all of that by hand you must have some serious wax on wax off Karate Kid action going on!

All by hand except the magna . I am sore :/

Well worth it Cejay. Do it with a mild cut and by hand to start with. You can do it as many times as you like to get the desired result.

It's not harsh. When I first did it I thought I might burn the paintwork but you'd have to have a serious cutting compound and a buffing tool set on high.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
