i keep saying 'weekly' but its usually fortnightly. i blame it on the winter weather tho. longest stretch without washing would have to be 8 weeks. but i try and give it a clean for cruises and/or any other car related stuffs. when i have a lot of time on my hands and i can be bothered i'll try and wax too. :(

I used to wash my car once, twice a week. That is until the water restriction came in. Now about once every 2 week.

My car is Black and every little spec of dust and water spec can be seen. The funny thing is my outside is damn clean but my inside is pretty messy hehe.

My car is Black.  It's always dirty.

Yes - mine too!

Although people say it looks clean so I dont bother washing it that often :D about once a month or maybe every few weeks - during winter / wet weather anyway.

Mine is black... well was... its now midnight blue most of the time... anyway its a real prick to keep clean. Latley I havent been washing it coz I got sick of putting in the effort to make it sparkle only to wake up the next day and find rain coming down in buckets.

Black looks awesome after good bath. Shame it only lasts a few days :P

pushead, you obviously havent see mine around.

ive had it around 4.5 months now and its only been lightly hosed down once. i dont think i even cleaned it when it arrived.

so its got crap from japan (sat at docks for two weeks), ship, docks here, then in my open carport for two months waiting for compliance, then quick wash, then drive till now without a wash.

actually its really dirty right now cause i went for a drive on sun night and started seriously wearing through my clutch :P

Once a week, first thing on Saturday morning down to the local car detailers for a wash, then I am good for cruising on the weekend. :P

Come Friday night though the car does look a little dirty :P

If I had the time I would clean it everyday.

    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
