Want to remove the GTS25T sticker on the back of the car (on the boot lid), however I know it's going to leave a mark on the car as the sticker has probably been on it since it was born.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good cleaning product that would remove the marks from off the paint, without damaging the paint work at all?

I'm a big fan of eucalyptus oil - gets stickers off the car sooo easy and leaves no residue!

Just dab a bit of it onto a cloth, press it into the sticker, in particular around one corner. If that corner comes up (with some gentle picking) peel it back slowly while wiping under the sticker with the cloth.

I'd think that over the past 15 or so years the paint may have faded a bit underneath.

eucalyptus oil damaged the clear coat on our last paint job....use wax and grease remover and wash afterwards with car wash.

In removing the body kit on my R32 GTR to facilitate getting at some rusty spots, I had to clean off the double sided mounting tape. It was recommended to me by a friend to use metho. Seems to have done the job. No sign of damage to the paint or clear coat either. I figured it didn't matter so much where I was doing it as it was going to be hidden by the body kit when it goes bck on. I would have thought metho would have damaged the paint. Seems all it did in my case was soften the glue. I still had to use a stiff thumbnail to scrape the glue off.

Cheers,

If you CLR on it for a little while u will completely rip off the paint. I used clr to clean my intercooler, even though i covered my front bar, i got some on it. And peeled the paint off

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
