whats the deal with bugs and my car? ...

i have a white gts and every time i come back to it after leaving it for a while its covered with flying and crawling bug things, dirty or clean....

is it the colour? because it doesnt happen with my mums white corolla or white magna...

i think the bugs have good taste never the less...

Exact same problem... car is coated with little flying bugs; my car is white as well, but I find that it happens after a car wash. I blame the soap/water that they use - I think it's got a sugar base or something along those lines that make the finish attractive towards bugs :P

i had the same problem. little flying ants were eating my car!

when i did my quarterly bug spraying for my house i gave my car a really light spray of the stuff. i left it for a few mins then went and washed my car.

its worked so far.

does anyone know how to get bird and bat crap off the car ?? i was it using a hose and soap but in the sun it looks to have caked itself in the paint :( i got a black r33, would a wax or polish help ??

Try using Meguiars ScratchX

scratchx only fills in scratches in the clearcoat.

if its a oxidised stain or dried poop (ie has eaten through your clear due to the chemicals and heat) then you'll need to cut and polish it. if its deeper than that then you'll need a new clear.

go to repco or supercheap and get something called "bug and tar remover"

spray some of that sucker on, let it soak for a few mins and it'll come off.

it gets the black soot that stains on the rear bar from the exaust off too.

    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.

    • yeh they are 235/45/17 up front and 255/40/17 in the rears. I still didn't get my answer if i can fit a 18x9 up front. I want to get 4 of this and see if they will fit before committing as they didn't see an 18x8 as an option but there is a 18x9.5 also.   Enkei RS05-RR 18x9 35mm ET 5x114.3 75.0 Bore Matte Gunmetal Wheel
