Curiousity Of My Skyline

[3R1K]

I can't stop thinking what the hell is going on, my left door got a paint scratch and I can see it clearly cause mine is black anyone can help me getting rid of that paint problem other than respray the car?

And also R34 owner I wanna ask if ur driving ur car in gear 1 and 2, the response seems weaker than gear 3 and 4 also I can really drive the car smoothly in gear 2 is it clutch problem or what?

Should I check it? I just got the car about 1 week.

Thanx

is it an auto?

if its a deep scratch then the panel will have to be resprayed. you can try with touch-up paint first if you want cos its expensive to respray the panel roughly $400

[3R1K]

It's a manual 5 speed,

It's not a deep scratch the size it's like 2 dollars coin and someone has been trying to paint it so it doesn' look good

and I don't want to pay $400 bucks

[Boostzor]

Sounds like u need to get used to it. The car will feel completely alien for a while especially if u have never driven a manual.

How do u mean the response feels weaker? the car has not as much pull?

[3R1K]

Yeah , I never drive a turbo before this is my first turbo car,

Yeah the car pull alot in gear 3 and 4, i tried auto one it's nicer

manual pull seems weaker

I'm not sure

[3R1K]

And I wanna ask My poor skyline isn't in good paint condition , u know 2nd hand car will always be like that what should i do about it with low cost , just polish them?

[adam 32]

manual is faster, and will pull hard in 1st and 2nd. make sure your pressing down on the pedal on the right, thats the accelerator

as for the paintwork if youve tried the cheap option with no success then all youve got left is to pay real money and get it fixed. if you dont want to then just get used to it

[3R1K]

I haven't try anything can u suggest some option?

I'm pressing down but It only can go like 30 kms/h in 5000 rpms or 40 kms/h

[adam 32]

youve never driven a turbo before and youve got a turbo R34! shit be careful...

to bring the paintwork back to life try a cut n polish then wax. i and alot of others recommend the meguliars range. and before you ask u can buy them at marlows and kmart auto centres

[3R1K]

i understand wax and polish but what is cut?

marlows ok i'll go there

[adam 32]

i cant suggest anything from your descripiton. youll have to be more specific but it doesnt sound like theres a problem with the car, just learn how to drive it.

[3R1K]

mmmmm yeah i couldn't really describe it maybe it's my feeling or yeah just drive it for a month or more and I'll come back to you

u drive skyline rite? are all skylines have hard clutch to push?

[adam 32]

cut and polish is a bit harsher than normal wax and will take off all the crud in the top layer of the paintwork. it is used to bring old paintwork back to life

id suggest buying a bottle of meguliars quick wax. give her a wash and polish it really well and it should come up a treat

[adam 32]

how do u judge hard? mines really hard cos its a daiken 5puck, the standard ones normally aint too bad

again youve got to imagine, questions like these are a little hard to answer over the internet. we cant feel what your car is like through the computer so you wont get an accurate answer on things like that.

[3R1K]

huuehheuhu , I'm not sure cause it's like the owner or seller just paint with something to cover up the scratch, I think i won't try cut and polish if i do wrong , I'm dead. If I cut the pain and it goes white then what should i do? i got black paint hehehe

I think i'm buying maguliar, which should i do first polished or wax?

[3R1K]

i wanna add they cover it not really well so i can see a bit lumps there and it doesn't cover all , it left 10 white dots in the paint, It's really sad to see it

[3R1K]

Yeah ur correct we can't really judge it pretty well mine is all standard no mods at all ,

[adam 32]

well your clutch shouldnt be too bad, and it should go hard in 1st and 2nd gear

nah youve got me all wrong, these car cleaning products arent like chemicals, they wont eat away at your paint. cut and polish just takes a small layer off the top. you wont notice it and you cant stuff it up

wax is the stuff you put on the car from a bottle. polish is the physical action of poloishing the wax into the car and leaving a shine

[3R1K]

Ic thanx a lot dude u really help me, wow u just scared me man , how do u cut ?

I got wax with a spounge and it's really tired me doing it to all over the body it takes like 1 hour for my previous lancer

[3R1K]

And Do you have any idea how to clean wet windows perfectly or just not leave any spot on the glass, I'm using normal car spounge and it still leave mark there , u should know what i'm talking about, i can't really describe it, my car english is very poor
