Hi all,

just want to know if anyone has any experience using a kanebo chamois?

I think it's been renamed to AION or something?

Having a black car, it's very hard to dry the car and not leave SOME small wet spots that are noticeable on inspection (as most of you would know, especially if you own a black car). Even after drying the car, it's inevitable to have water drip down from the windows or crevices lol.

ANYWAYS, my chammy has been used to the point that it no longer even dries. It's horrible lol.

So i just did a quick google search and found the Kanebo ones, and I heard they're pretty good, and from Japan. Can anyone confirm?

Found it for $18 on ebay, which is cheaper than the $25 Meguair's one from supercheap lol.

Mate, I use Bowdens Own microfibre chamois; they make a bunch of different sizes, and the big one is farkin' huge!
They glide really smoothly on my paint; no grabing, which means it can't be doing damage.

I also have a Black car; and the NM/V series Nissans have notoriously soft paint.

I reckon the bigger the better as you have to do less wipes. It's not cheap at $44 but it's more than twice the size of the Meguiars ones.

From a size perspective, I'd use a large Bowden's Microfibre on horizontal surfaces; but on vertical surfaces (close to the ground) smaller ones are safer IMHO.

Dead right Terry; I use mine fully open on the big flat panels, but folded on the sides.

Great minds eh? :whistling:

    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
