Took some pics the other day with the phone after a polish, came up pretty well.

Washed, clay bar using a Bowden's Kit, and poslished with a Mother's Wax Attack kit I bought last year, using Mother's Cleaner Wax.

Does any other sealant need to go on over the cleaner wax? It says that its the only step required, and it has left a nice layer of wax on it.

Looking to try some differant waxes in the near future, as this was done in a bit of a rush after work one night

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 out of daylight

Finally got around to removing the nasty yellow haze of the daily 35's headlights. No befores (just imagine all 35's that live outside 24/7) but fairly simple process:

1. Wet sand with 1500 grit paper

2. Polished with Meguiars Ultimate Compound and medium cut pad

3. Sealed with a Dupli-Color UV Resistant Clear Coat, otherwise they will just go back to being yellow in a few weeks

Had the guys from schmicko do it at my house, really nice end result. A bit pricey, but definitely cheaper than the in store detailing centres. If only I took a before photo! Oh and they also applied ceramic coating yeaaaaah!

Cost?

  • 1 month later...

It was $790, which is actually a good price now that I think about it, especially when dealerships charge $1-$2k for something like this and they use half-ass products. Oh and I paid about $300 for the exterior detail prior to this, so paint correction, machine buffed, clay barred and all that. Doesn't look as good here because of my poor quality camera, looks so much better in real life, not sure where else they do, but i think the ycover mainly most of Sydney, can go here mobile car detailing . I did think about doing this myself or asking a mate/car enthusiast, but just wanted the extra peace of mind; but hey no complaints haha

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
