So we had warnings of massive hail. To protect the Dayz I covered it from front to back with bubble wrap. Very clever. No

f@%*+ng way. When I took the wrap off today I found that there had been a chemical reaction between the wrap and the clear coat. It looks like a honey comb effect. The red duco is now randomly speckled white. It looks UTS.

Oh well looks like a complete respray is now a needed.

Anyone else had a bright idea that wasn't?

Maybe this could be a place to make your confessions.

I got some and the spray stuff. Cost $50 and did stuff all.

Going to try very fine wet and dry to see if that works, if not atotal respray.

talk to a detailer, tell them what happened and let them have a go. you could end up doing more damage to something that might be fixable.
i would definitly give a pro a couple of hundred before shelling out thousands.

our dealership had balloons out in 40+ deg head. the paint popped them on contact and they the melting rubber sat on the paint for a weekend. marked to shit. the paint men got them back to shiney new so they can do some amazing things.

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
