Post Up Your R33!

[On Edge]

best setup you have had blags is the rpf1's for sure

[blags]

Which ones? Polished or silver?

[ARTZ]

black and polished always works best...thats why harleys always do it...its high maintenance but the results are worthy..

how clean is your undercariage, hose it down and soak all your suspensions in wd40, rinse and repeat till it looks clean, clean out your brakes..costs next to nothing and will get you respect points at the hoist as well..

nice work . when i first read WD and brakes i was like , then i realised you didnt leave them on for the WDing.

need to paint my calipers before doing anything like that, i still have inner plastics in my wheel arches that i keep clean ......till i rip them out on a bump.

[boiracer]

should i go Red or black calipers behind Gunmetal R33 GTR wheels??

[r32-25t]

when i first read WD and brakes i was like

haha that happened to me years ago!! very scary lol

[ARTZ]

hehe..i cleaned the calipers with brakecleen and hot water with some dishawashing liquid..dropped all the little parts in some aluminium wash stuff called aluplus or somtehing, its kind of like the stuff your grandma uses to clean brass and cutlery but more toxic, it actually stipped the coating off some of the bolts ....cleaned the pads up with some hot water and a scourer...also pinched the scrubber brush from the kitchen sink, missus wasnt too happy about that

[boiracer]

lol, looks good, but sounds like you had a bored moment and just had to pull your car apart

[ARTZ]

yeah thats usually how it starts hey, takes 2 hours to pull it all apart and 2 months to get it all back together again...

I actually started polishing some bolts before i realized i was just being silly

Hahaha..... Soooooooo true.

Oh and BTW I told you god knows how long ago polishing is for mugs

[ARTZ]

well i got my wheels polishes properly and they look mint, but just had a bottle of wheel polish next to me while i was putting the brakes together so i though id have a go...one bolt was as far as I got and i didnt even finish it ..

but i tell ya wd40 is the shit..i have degreased under my car heaps of times with various products and got nothing but lacklustre results..discovered wd40 is only 7$ a can at bunnings and thats the big can, half the price of auto shops..I let loose 2 cans under my whole car and it looks like new..everything is shiny black instead of dusty brown..And it stays black even after it dries unlike the cheapy crap degreaser....

[boiracer]

you'll also find it attracts more dust back to where it is, as WD is designed to stay slightly wet tho it does leave a nice finish tho

this is how car yards make their cars look "like new"

A few new shots after a long day of polishing
