Hey guys whats good to wash the actual engine bay mainly the painted ares eg. firewall and the strut tower place thingy lol, mine r34 is white well not anymore pretty much black, I've tried export degreaser and my 2600psi gerni and no luck, would that chemtek stuff work? I've tried just washing it with soap and a microfibre cloth and it just wont budge and I cbf using any compounds to be honest its all so tight, also why isnt it good to wash the heads on the r34? is it because of the coil pack valley or something else that I should be carefull of, thanks.

So do you hose off the motor while its in the car? What about wires and fuses etc????

Certainly. wirings ok so long as you dont pressure blast into electrical goodies. the caustic degreaser doesn't touch most plastics.

yeah so?

or do you think there are not times when using something more mild is not better, for example when you're car is not that dirty and you don't want to remove the sealer and wax as well as the dirt

easy tiger,

I don't wax or seal my car, so there's nothing to strip.

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
