is there a tutorial on here about replacing castor rods/radius rods? is it as simple as unbolting the old and rebolting the new?

Beautiful. Cleaning my car for the first time lastnight at BP.. and my paint just starts peeling off. Owned it all of 4 days and I've got a 50 cent sized piece of paint missing and its basically down to the bare metal.

Who's got the hookups on resprays? Or knows roughly how much it would be to respray a hood

from memory when Joe from Profinish was doing my car to respray the hood was $250. I did have a fair amount of other work done at the same time though...

[J - Rad]

Anyone got some ideas on what I should do for the time being? To stop it rusting?

It wont rust its aluminium. Maybe put some clear nail polish around the edge to keep it sealed and stop it getting worse.

Did it come off easily? My front bumper had paint peeled off pretty easily ages ago - had to have it stripped off then had the bumper prepped properly and resprayed. It must of had the bonnet resprayed in it's past and didnt get prepped properly...

[J - Rad]

Yeah.. giving it a good high pressure hose down.. but i was a couple of feet away (like I usually am) and the paint just flew off. But the whole front bar and hood as little touch up jobs all over it probably from stone chips

[CRoNic...]

What the f**k! What kind of shit paint job did the previous owner get done for it to do that? Tipex on the bonnet or something?

Crazy shit.

Damn - I would go and tear the guy that you bought it from a new one. Clearly he has completely dodged a paint repair to sell the car and done the nastiest lack of prep imaginable! Looks like blisters under the front grille too, so assume that will need to be resprayed soon too. Bummer.

Same thing happened to mine, took it to dazzlers after I'd got it... it had a couple of existing chips but when the sprayer hit them they flaked open

I wouldn't naturally assume its the ex owner, could have easily been someone in japan or any prior owner..

Well I took my mums VZ commodore to a carwash cafe. They used a pressure hose and paint flaked off on the door handles a little bit. This is on a 1 owner car that was just over 3 years old.

I dont use the pressure washer on the Skyline. I still scratched it with the garden hose though

[Luciano]

same thing happened to me with the high pressure hose flaking more paint away from a small crack in my front bar. i have never washed my skyline at those car wash joints since then. Those foam brush broom things are terrible too

[RubyRS4]

scores ya points with the pitlane marshall

I had nothing to do with that ... no influence whatsoever

All the cars I inspected in pitlane on the V8 weekend had black mesh So no extra points awarded anyway.

Had a few photos with Nick today, heres a couple good ones

[skwiz]

About time i saw that car Matty!

Doesn't exactly resemble a skyline just yet.

Most people don't use house paint on their cars..

Thanks for the IC too

[CRoNic...]

I used to swear by those high pressure hose things and that brush! Never flaked my paint?

[SLED]

Was a great finish to the race, pity about the pace car that finished Murphy/Skaife's chances but then that's racing I guess

A big ROR at those 2 in the same car.....that's like Ruby & Rhys going fishing together on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

Skaifey should've rigged his car to explode straight after the last lap cause Murphy reminds me of a couple of douches
