Just check Rass that entry/exit-ways will easily allow low lips to pass eh?

I'd recommend too, that ribbons only be attached to the cars whilst not moving, lest a faint V mark be left on the bonnets.

Have a great wedding :) Hope you have great weather :yes:

Can you guys let this thread have some feedback because we used genuine ribbon (not paper or plastic as the vid says), and we still got the big V shaving mark on the bonnet and even on the A pillar. I don't think we exceeded the speed limit; but we travelled about 20 Kms.

Did you fix the ribbons on the sae way as in the vid Terry?? Also was i light scuffing that can be polished out or is it deeper scratching??

Tight as a violin string Mike.

The V mark was only located at the front of the bonnet where the ribbon sat.

Travelling along, of course you can hear the hum of the ribbon vibrating.

I couldn't see the shaving marks until the pearl black car was back in the garage with lights on.

In daylight, at a certain angle it's quite noticeable too.

Matt's R33 GT-R also had the same marks.

It wasn't bad enough to have to use AutoGlym Paint Renovator.

AutoGlym Resin Polish got most of it out > Menzerna got the remainder out > then a reapplication of sealant > then canauba.

Sorry no pics - too upset.

Nah, the more tension the less it will move, so less marks. Guy accross the road with his limo service hasn't needed to fix up any marks in the 3 years he's Been doing it.

He says is the loose ones where the wind can move it around.

But loose enough and it won't have any pressure against the paint to rub a mark onto it. I'll give you a length of silk ribbon...you try whipping it against my car for an hour and see how far you get making a mark on the paint. Then try holding it taught between your hands and buff a panel with it like you were buffing shoes...different story!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
