Hey guys,

I know its not really a mod but more a upkeeping thing however this colour polish which I bought to cover up chips in my paint is awesome!

I use Maguairs gear normally and its the best but I decided to use this colour polish today to clear up a few scratches .. Worked a treat when from nice dead white scratch to nice low white/grey/black colour and if I used the scratch chipstik it disappears ..

I used the chipstik to cover up deep chips in the paint as I park outside and rust is not kewl!

Decided to polish the boot, hood and roof and it removed the water marks aloooooot better than maguires gear i.e TEK WAX level stuff! (known as one of the best)

Thought id pass on the experience as ive read several people say its crap .. the chip stik lasts a few washes etc .. Its not true its been about 20 washes since ive applied it and there is no chance it is going to come off in the next 20 by the look of it!

Remember if your appling over rust scratch off the rust with a knife .. (id suggest taping the surrounding area first)

So if you got scratches (from keys or whatever) go get some now .. wish I would have used it sooner (ive had it bluddy 3 months)

hmmm becareful we sell this stuff and it aint great can stain paint.

remmeber the TEK WAX is a wax not a polish so it is not designed to remove water marks.

Stain paint you say .. interesting .. Dont think ill have a problem my cars black ..

However tek wax has the ability remove water marks according to what you can use it for ..

While im here .. should I tek wax over the polish?

Turtle Wax is NOT better than Meguiars, and the coloured polish is an absolute last resort for very old and tired/faded paint.

It sounds like you need to do some more research into exactly which products you are using to do what job.

Personally I use Auto Glym cream polish and Meguairs wax and have done so on my last 5 cars to keep the paintwork at a show quality standard.

I've tried this stuff ... and god dammit it's awful. The application of the stick is only a temporary measure... the residue you leave behind filling in the scratches comes off eventually. And the colour polish makes your paint work so dull. I spent about an hour removing the shit off my car with wax and grease remover... never using that stuff again.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
