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.

Cheers

Chris

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
