Hey guys, had this issue with my car for a while but thought it would wash off.

These pics where taken straight after a wash today.

It looks like white marks, that can't be rubbed off with soap / my spray on wax. Seems to have been getting worse lately.

Any ideas what it could be ?

Do i just need to give it a good polish?

Recently imported ? then it's Nuke :nuke: fallout !!! :laugh:

looks like what you get when cars in a build/tune shop for a long time.

Fuel/Oil grime residue.

As above will polish off easily.

Maybe try prepsol first if it is fuel deposit

Thanks guys. Will give it a good wash polish and wax and report back :)

Cheers

don't wax it if the marks havent gone after polishing...make sure they are completely gone...if they are not you will need to get a buffer onto it..

contrary to popular belief wax will not really mask paint problems...so make sure its right or you will just be stripping the wax off later to fix it again...

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
