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!

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
