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.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
