Boxcar... thats easily fixed....

One morning i came out to my 200 in the garage to find that after i got home the previous night a cat found my bonnet so warm and cosy that it try to tear it up like carpet.... HUGE scratches all over it..

solution: a good power drill (you or a mate will have one) and a meguiars buffing pad ($20 or so from auto barn)

apply polish to the area and use the buffing attachment.

should remove it no problems. I used this on my bonnet and you couldnt see ONE scratch.....

Indeed the power buff does wonders if used properly, but do yourself a favour and be REALLY carefull. I don't know if buffing pads have had a big improvement recently but i recall a nasty incident involving myself, and a proper buff borrowed from a panelbeater mate and some god awful burn marks on my bonnet that required professional repair.

      Bought a v35, with blown head gasket. Looking for ideas what to do next? Rebuild, replace or swap??

      I know -_- Oddly enough I went to a car show this weekend and not a single person made any mention of Nitrous... I did have to argue with a know it all that was convinced I had an RB26 head with HKS V-Cam as opposed to a regular VCT RB25 head, but what do I know. I think my HKS oil cap was throwing him off.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      That seems like a lot more work than just using a second jack under a front tow hook to raise it enough to get another jack under it.

      They're wonderful when only used to lift your car up an inch so a real jack fits under your front lip. Besides that, I've only ever used them on the side of the road.  We call them widow makers here.  Unfortunately, like I mentioned in another post, ramps are not an option for me due to generally working on my car once my kids are asleep. Cold starts, 4" exhaust and sleep rarely go well together. I honestly find using ramps a hell of a lot more work than what I'm currently doing anyways.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
