Hey guys, just trying to sort out the little things that annoy me and my main one is oxidation on the windows that give it a bubbly look. Its only on the surface and just wondering if anyone else had this problem and how'd they fix it. Just need to know if it has to be done professionally or is there some sort of abrasive cleaner that will clean it off.

Much appreciated if anyone has any ideas.

Haha yeh have tried that but didn't work unfortunately. Also tried cleaners like windex but that doesn't work either, might have to have hit and miss with other cleaners. I'll try and take photos of what it looks like but don't think it'll show up too well. Its just one of those annoying things u could live with but because I want everything perfect on this car it is annoying me knowing that its there.

Hi Mark,

If you are refering to those water marks then I have the same issue on both my 35s. Pisses me off to no end! Most visible under bright sunlight. I've tried a few different polishes, turps, metho etc...nothing has worked so far. Someone on the forum has recommended Meguiars Diamond Cut. Haven't got around buying it yet to try. If you find a solution let me know.

Cheers.

Back on subject, I would suggest that you get the opinion from a Car Windscreen installer, there are some lightly abrahesive 'chemical based cleaners out there and they can buff the window too...

That should lift most blemishes.

Try AutoGlym Car Glass Polish

http://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/...ar_glass_polish

I used it on my Lexus IS250 windows when I saw it had like dried water droplets etched on the windows... worked wonders.

like i said the marks r probably caused by acid rain, which has "dissolved" a really really thin surface layer of the glass... the only way I heard to remove this is using a steel wool to lightly polish the glass, so u can "even" out the layers. Again, i've never seen this done in real life, and personally I dont think steel wool + glass is a good combination.

Glass can be polished but not like that... Steel Wool is a big no no in my opinion.

See a professional.

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
