Chris,

Maybe you can try Dave Forrester Fine Detailing. He is at Unit 9/24 Hooker Street Islington. 0419439795. Ring him up and get a quote, but I think its roughly $110 for wash/buff/carpet clean and good overall tidy up. I've seen his work and it is pretty good value for money.

If you have small paint scratches/blemishes/dents, ring Colour Mechanix on 0412213990. They do very good touch up work if need be.

We use Baywash, they are here in Nelson Bay.

If you saw our car on the Drag Combat stand at last years Autosalon, or in issue 25 of the magazine you will know why. He is about $300 for a full job but spends 1/2 day on the car. Worth the $$ IMHO.

Hi Paul, Im trying to give my place a free plug here. We spend the full day and are a bit cheaper than that. You should give us a try. We own skylines and have had plenty of showy cars in the past. Have done cars for a few people off here. Probably would be a big ask to get yours any cleaner though! Cheers Darren.

How big a chunk are we talking Dave?

and where abouts on your bar?

Cause fibergalssing isn;t that hard, and you can get repair kits that are fairly inexpensive.

I've cracked my 400R bar and I'm gunna fix that myself.

Well, myself and some of my friends who will rpob just stand around, talk and order the pizza :headspin:

eXc, how come you are getting the car detailed dude?

I only just had it imported, and I thought I'd get it cleaned and buffed proffesionally, then I can just maintain it. Like I tried to clean it up, but I just can't get it the way I want it, so I figure for a bit of money I would.

I have decided to use a guy that was reccomened by a spray painter that I totally trust. He is gonna do it for $150 which is everything BUT a polish/buff. I am gonna have a go at that myself, if not, the spray painter I know will do it for $200ish...Works out to $350 all up and I think it's worth it, I have seen the painter's work and he is really good.

The detailer doesn't want me giving out his details tho. He no longer does it for a bussiness, he is doing it as a favor for the spray painter.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
