Armourall extreme tyre shine. It doesnt stick on the tyre properly, consequensly it flies off the tyre and will go around the guards and when you wash the car the paintwork will go all specaly. My cars black so it wasnt too bad, but its damaged the paintwork (cut and polish should fix it) but it shouldnt have happened in the first place.

90% of tyre shines are silicone based and hence why it looks to make your paint go silly........ what u should try and do is use whatever tyre shine you use (armourall etc) and put it on and when it starts to disapear wipe as much as you can off with a soft rag...... and note: if you "spray" it of from too far away it will get on your paint anyway so do it close and take it easy......another thing i can tell you is that here at repco or atuobarn you can buy a spray can of tyre shine with a black tin with white writing and a BLUE lid...its really cheap and it doesnt flick off and its very effective but it only lasts a day or two...its like $2 a can.... i hope this may help you in some way shape of form..... i am a car detailer by trade so if you have any more questions feel free to ask me........Jon

I use the maguiars tyre stuff and then windex to clean anything on the car afterwards... works miracles...

altho my car hasn't been washed in the last 4 or 5 months lol

johnson's baby prodcts are mad... they're so mild yet soooo effective

      Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?

      I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".

      No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.

      Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

      Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
