Car looks mint.

Looks tough with all those blind corners and sweepers. How was the under steer?

yer some corners, by the end, you knew was there even though you couldnt see them. you just had to hold your nerve and power through.

Had a bit of understeer in the real tight stuff right up the top. but on such a narrow track it felt like a huge car compared to it

Thanks mate.

I just use the old fashion spray painters trick i was taught when i was panel beating and spray painting..

After the respray i wetsanded with 2000 grit and used some Maguires swirl x remover with a wool pad.

Next step i repeated this process but with maguires ultimate compound with a wool pad - make sure you buff the hazzyness out before polishing.

Now i start the polishing.

I use Autosmart Cherry Glaze.

I apply it to 1 panel at a time nice and thick and with a new wool pad i buff the polish in on a low speed setting untill the hazzyness is gone and its like a mirror.

After iv done that i reapply polish on the car by hand and leave it overnight before wiping it off with a cloth nappy.

Thats how i get the result in the second pic.

Upclose you can tell the difference after its done its like a mirror.

The only think you have to keep doing is polishing after every wash.

The 2nd photo was taken a month ago and i washed the car today for the first time since then and it was dirty but come up like new again and its in the shed with polish on it now ill be getting off before work at 7am in the morning.

Im getting a few touch ups done on the car so ill make a video when im doing it to post on the diy section

Appreciate the sharing mate...definitely an industry trick as it does look very good.

I like how your car is clean. Keep away from any stickers or "ricey" items and you'll be on the straight and narrow! :-)

Thanks again mate.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
