Yes just saw a nice long scratch on passenger side front panel!!!! Dont know what was used but I am f**king pissed off! And upset! And I'll have someones sausage & meatballs for this!

Scratches keep appearing on my car!? The first scratch happened while the car was at a workshop...but i couldnt prove it. The second and third i dont know, but im sure id now if i did it and now this one!!

GRRRRR

I dont even have to ask for other stories, i'll just wait for them.

But any tips on how/what to use to lessen the scratches? Protect it from rust?

How deep is the scratch? Some panel and paint places and buff them out for you.

You can buy rust inhibitor which you put on the metal (if its showing through). If rust has already formed, just scour it off with some steel wool first (if the scratch is that deep), then paint on the inhibitor.

Sneeza - Im guessing that they are basically the same thing except ones aerosol based and one is in a tin... would do the same job i imagine :D

I used the spray cos 1 - I'm lazy - f**k getting a brush and 2 - ... well I'm lazy.. and thats all I had..

mines been scratched too, twice i knoo who did mine but i cant prove it only reason i kno who did it was my car was only at home and work and this person knows where they both are!....lucky from me most of mine buffed out but i still got some scratches.....i agree with thrytwo ppl have no respect for other ppls property and it makes me sick.....im scared in where i leave my car now!

i hope everything works out with ur car and im really sorry to here that!

We had our cars parked at a mates house (2 skylines and some shitboxes).

The guy that lives across the road is a cop...and a racist bastard (always calling us wogs etc).

When we got out of my mates house, we found the car had been scratched all around, through to the paint...and....bbq grease smeared all over the windows.

They scratched the car with an antenna they broke off another mates car....

Wankers.....

I gave up a loooong time ago stressing about every little scractch that appeared on my car - and you will eventually too - they are unavoidable unless you want ot garage your car for the rest of its life.

I've got a nice trolley dent in the side of mine where some a-hole has pushed a trolley into it - it's a good time to start believing in karma.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
