Are you sure it's clear coat and not from grinding?

I'm beginning to wonder this. There is next to nothing a razor blade won't scrape off the windscreen, I've used it so many times and its always worked

As suggested by Ben, if its been near any sort of grinding, the grinding sparks can melt the laminated layer on the windscreen and leave you little marks on your windscreen, which if you cant get it off with a razor blade sounds more likely to be the issue.

No grinding of any sort, car hasn't been painted as such, I sprayed painted where the bonnet hinge is and got lazy with spraying clear on the area

If a razor blade doesn't take it off then I doubt it's overspray, should come off with ease! Or try wire wool and glass cleaner another easy option!

Pic of affected area after clay bar and glass polish, specks really stand out when driving with direct sun on windscreen

Not overspray mate that's for sure, looks like tiny chips I had a 200sx with the same thing very annoying when sun hits it, can't see shit my screen was covered. Looks like your only option is new screen! :(

Use white spirits, on a rag and elbow grease

We use it all the time when vandals paint our (earthworks) machines. Works very well on glass

Do not let it touch any paint, it works like a thinner and strips paint unless its powdercoated

Or aeroguard, works aswell on paint on glass

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
