Hey, i've noticed that my rear wing and roof has these grey/white spots all over it, i've been watching it for a while and it seems like its like fungi or someshit cause it grows.

I've rubbed my finger over them and its smooth, its like its under the paint. Been polishing my car every month

Been taking good care of my paintwork since i bought the car but these spots just came out of nowhere lol and they keep getting bigger

my car has the paint code kr4 which is silver

any ideas?

will post pics when i get home from work

its smooth like the rest of the paint, no known chemicals have been dropped on the car, it started on the wing, then i noticed it on the roof the other day, its spread evenly across the roof and wing only, its wierd lol

weird as. if its smooth, can probably be buffed out. but, it could also be clear lifting and ready to peel. kinda hard to say without seeing it in person

take it past a deecnt panel shop and get a pro's opinion maybe? im kinda stumped

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
