I don't want to be that guy, but, I was taught that you're not supposed to buff a car for at least 3 months (normally 6) because the paint has to de-gass.

Most paints are water based now, takes no time to dry these days....

I thought it had to do with letting the paint finish hardening before you start cutting into it with polishes as it's still technically "Soft" for a while after its dry.

Think of paint like skin, kind of. When a car gets freshly painted, or when you buy a new car, the paints generally still in a stage of de-gassing, where all of the gasses from the paint are slowly releasing. If you start covering it in polish/wax,  you clog the "pores" on the paint and get imperfections. 

I've always been taught not to wash a car for 3-6 months after a paint job, although some paint shops have developed baking techniques to get the gasses out faster.

Ovens a pretty technical these days, my mates blow dries the paint inbetween coats then bakes it a different heat settings over a set period of time.

I would rather douse my genitals in hot sauce before dragging them through broken glass and razor blades, than drive a magna

 

 

Actually, I might do that anyway

So technical. I was thinking if you just went really really fast the air would dry it out?

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
