hey everyone, i was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting up a sort of prescription in to how to take proper care of your cars paint and interior.

Being a detailer i have worked on cars from VB commodores to $450,000 SLK's and have picked a lot of tricks and knowledge along the way. i have been taught by people from Megiuars and Autogylm so i can tell you what works and what to steer clear of.

Give me some feed back because it will be in depth covering everything from making your engine bay look new, having your dash have the glow constantly, how to protect precious rims from that evil brake dust and have your paint absolutely spotless.

let us know :bond:

Yeah, it would be awesome...

I've pieced together a lot of information from reading the Show and Shine section on Offtopic.com, such as good products to use (alot of which seem to be a bit difficult to find here in Australia) etc etc

But i'd love a good start to finish, comprehensive tutorial style

Come on .. Everyone is saying "yeah that'd be good.. someone post up something about it". Obviously it's going to take someone who has experience to talk about a DIY, and since you are a Car Detailer ICER33 why don't you take a few minutes to put together a little DIY diddy describing the tricks you have learnt in the business?

Would be greatly appreciated !!

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
