Did this on Saturday, the pics are MMS'd so a bit crappy in res. The paint was finished with Naviwax, after clay and one pass of polish. Didn't go crazy due to lack of time and just finished as we ran

First time I've polished it since owning it, owned it for about 2 months. Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo & Autoglym Deep Shine polish were used. Turned out pretty good for a 1st attempt I think. Will wax it using Autoglym product next time, or any suggestions as to what Wax I should use? Thankspost-109055-0-11566400-1363596703_thumb.jpgpost-109055-0-10217500-1363596763_thumb.jpg

Wheel Treatment

Clay Bar

2.5 Stage Polish

- IP2000 Purple Pad

- IP2000 White Pad

- SF4000 Blue Pad

AMMO Skin Sealant

love your work as always Matt :thumbsup:

I did an old Saab today...I wont lie this thing had amazing duco on it already but it was badly scratched, no doubt from bad washing procedures...

only had a few hours with it unfortunately so a 2 stage polish and wax was all I could do..

I did have a brief ponder about buying a four door SAAB a couple of months ago before getting the 35. Especially with the prices going low now... but love my Nissans too much

Here is some beadage after a wash today, its wearing a three month old coat of Optimum Spray Wax

Blemishes and swirls on my Ford POS (AU Wagon) front LHS fender

IMG_1703_zpsf0f4cd37.jpg

Waxed with Eagle One Nanowax and then waxed again with Mother cuts and polish and then lightly buffed - overall time took under 30 mins to do.

.nah wasnt that....its the wax then cut then polish...seems kind of backwards....looks alright though...:rofl:

Yes that's accurate.

Was still having a dumb moment..... It was a trial and error.

so you're saying you removed the wax with the cut and polish :P

Yeah totally :P Edited by Ants

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
