Hey, just washed my car this arvo and being the experimental person that I am, I decided to add something new.

I used my nomal car wash detergent and added half a cup of OMO MATIC front loader.

My car has never been as shiny as it is now. Must be the enzymes. Dunno if it will work for everyone but I am definately using it again.

shampoo, washing machine detergent have very strong soapd in them. They are used for breaking down tough stains including paint, be very carefull. i had a mate that used to wash his car with soap on tap and now the paint is fu(ked. Wouldnt want you to get a respray from just using the wrong soap?!!!

dude, if you really need to use something stronger, use CT18 ('truck wash') mixed at 10:1. Only do one panel at a time, in the shade. Be careful with it tho :P

It's all you need to get a dirt bike covered in mud clean...spray on..leave 5 mins, hose off. fortunatly it doesnt harm plastics, but u gotta be careful on the car

If you don't mind everything getting taken off. . . . I will stick to polishing my car every 6 months and only every washing with just water and a sponge. That why the mini can still win show'n'shine trophies 9 yrs after a respray.

CT18 is oldskool. I was using thaqt years ago. We use it at work to mop the floors. I got like 40 litres of it...lol. That stuff has a very high powered degreaser in it so you would wanna be careful how long you leave it on.

Dad and I used to use laundry liquid/powder until we found out that laundry liquids have salt in them - not so good washing your car with salt water!

If you're wondering why you don't get salt crystalising it's because you hose it all off before it dries.

I stick with meguirs soft wash - if you take your time it does a great job.

Cheers

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
