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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
