Ok, I recently bough a new car, not a Nissan, but anyway. The dealership pre- delivery fellas have seem to miss, quite abit of that really thick wax that the factory sprays on everything to protect the car until it is sold.

Where this wax is situated is the problem, it is in the engine bay and when I fangs it. The wax seem to oozes out of womewhere deeper in the engine bay.

Is there a product or procedure that I can perform to remove the remainder of the waxes, or it's going to be a pain in the butt problem for the duration of the ownership.

Thanks.

i think u will find the "wax" u talk about in the engine bay is a rust proofer not a wax.. alot of ford Xr8 and Xr6 come with that 2... if its wax on the out ide of the car the best thing 2 use is ucolpitis oil (spelling on that some1?) and your finger and rub all the patches lightly!

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
