I've got a bit of oxidisation on both the tops of my front quater panels and am looking for recommendations of a place to take it to to have a real good cut and polish done on the entire car to get it a bit ... tidier :)

Any suggestions or comments?

I spent 3 hours on Monday using meguiars paint cleaner and then crystal polishing it and only did the front quarters, bonnet and both doors. a big effort after an hour of washing it too :) and it didn't get rid of the oxidisation :)

Jase,

Supercheap auto sell some products that I like to catagorise as "car care". Buy a good brand like Macguires, the full set so pre-wash, wash, polish and wax, obviously you'll need a cut and polish product as well, grab a rag, roll up those sleeves and do it yourself. Spend a good few hours, your arms will be in pain but the car will look shmicko :P

dave, I picked up a heap of meguiars stuff on Monday, paint cleaner, deep crystal polish and a few other bits and pieces, but the oxidisation is really stuck in.

I don't want to cut and polish it myself as I believe that a proper buffing pad on a drill or whatever would be the best way to go :huh: (plus i'm a lazy crunt).

kym, will speak to you more tomorrow mate :)

Vulcan panel and paint in canning vale did most of the work on my car. They de-badged my boot and removed the keylock (someone at work thought they would have a go at removing it but couldnt and left it hanging out). Last time it went in for the new front bar they gave it a cut and polish and it looked cool as. Give Sam a call if you live down that way.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
