I could ask this elsewhere but I like us V35 people better :P

I have a sticker on my rear bumper which came on the car from Japan. I want to remove it. I have tried to pick it off to no avail (just keeps breaking away in 1mm flecks).

What should I use to help get it off?

Try warming it up using a hairdryer to soften the adhesive.

you could also try soaking it in some metho or something

place a sponge on the sticker and soak it with metho and leave for a while for it to soak

Um- perhpas wax and grease remover - rather than Metho- Metho might dry it out tooo much.

Heat it up (hair dryer or heat gun)- do it in the sun. Continually rub wax and grease remover over it- and grow some finger nails. There is no quick way about it.

Same as debadging the car and taking off the old residue.

this has become slightly moot - some c*nt backed into my car whilst parked at my girlfriends over night. Will need to respray the bumper anyway :S

Regardless of the the respray and for the future, 3M makes a great adhesive cleaner.

Works great, spray on leave wipe off. Never damaged anything that i know of, but might be best to test on some surfaces.

It is a bit like this US version, sorry can not find Oz type.

    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
