hmm, that sounds tasty!

;) well that is what you get from a bunch of blokes when you ask them about cleaning ;) Do we have any mothers in the house?

Thanks for the suggestions.. I think tea tree or eucalyptus oil may be the best bet to start with. Metho worked nicely to get the ink off the windows but that eats paint. Just want to get the damn crap off, I have more important things that need doing rather than getting sticky crap residue off the bodywork :P

Needs a clean and general tidy up over the next few weeks.. and if I ever find out the #@$#@$#@ who decided to sticky tape up the bonnet they're in trouble! Because cloth tape is an absolute BITCH to remove! (any suggestions???)

Desolvit is the stuff to use. Just soak it on the area for a few minutes and it wipes of. It's citrus based so it won't hurt the paint.

Nice Gordo ;) Weclome back to the turbo world.

I reckon you should continue the lines right over the roof/boot and give cyrus a run for his money :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO He's not alowed to do that, I hear Lauren is getting racing stripes, it's hard being a trend setter :D

Hey Jev,

You should be able to - the 4 doors go for a bit cheaper than the coupes generally. This one was a couple of $k cheaper than some, mainly because it was auto. If you want auto, reckon you would have quite a few 4 door to choose from (although from what I have seen, leg room isn't the greatest in the r32)

I'd just go for a stock one like this one, then you know its maybe less likely to be f'ed with..

LEGEND MATE!! Picked up some De-solv-it at Bunnings tonight ($8).. Its like magic.. and like you say, it doesn't hurt the paint at all, just spray it on, and after a minute or so it all just wipes off.

To get a lot of the initial goey mass off, I also found the old fashioned boiling water, and scraping it off work pretty well.

Anyhow, all gone now.. Thanks again :) - thats stuff is the best

Correcto... R34 has the most leg room out of the 32, 33 ,34 series.. havent had the pleasure to check out the V35 yet tho.. :)

The tape must be the latest in Japanese rice.. I also have a bunch of receipts and a KFC receipt in Japanese, how exciting :)

Will and Scott are on the money.. it *is* stimps old engine.. not the twin turbo one (i hope!) but the other one he had... I'm going to take those off at some point and get them polished or anodised.

Where do you get this purpsol or prepsol stuff?

Everyone must know Stimps,

Don't stress, the twin turbo rb25 is still getting around in the VL and the new owner has put a set of forgies in it :)

well.. I think I've spent about 6-7 hours on this over the weekend, and I still haven't really finished the interior or the engine bay.. every inch of bodywork has been shampooed, cut & polished, waxed and buffed.. its worth it though.. here is an "after" shot.. With that carbon bonnet :cheers: its going to come up pretty well I think..as the bonnet is the only dodgy thing atm:

And cut and polish is god.. those big scratches are hardly visible anymore... and look at that shine!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
