Hey guys,

i dont know about your car's though mine was suffering from major brake dust to the front wheels, i would polish them one day, and 2 days later BRAKE DUST!!

Well a few weeks ago i started using the auto glym alloy wheel seal..... i thought to myself most likely wouldnt work.... just more bullcrap from the shelf..

Believe it or not... IT WORKS!!! no more brake dust builds up on my wheels...!! its abit pricey $20 for the bottle... but worth the money!

It seems like a wheel polish that dosnt let brake dust stick to the rims

here is a link to a shop who sells it... i bought my bottle from Repco...

honestly this stuff works! it takes about 3 to 4 weeks before i get a slight dust build....and thats a slight dust build which i cn hardly see....

its a spray that you spray onto your alloy wheel.. and you simply polish it off with a rag....

perfect for all types of alloy wheels... Auto glym is not classified as a cheap product so yes it will be fine with those expensive jap wheels!

+ 1 fantastic stuff; used it on my beema as they have terrible brake dust issues.

basically i removed each wheel one at a time and washed them thoughly (inside and out) with dishwashing detergent.

Dried the wheel and sprayed a nice liberal coat on....waited 30mins and applied a second coat before putting the wheel back on the car.

Process was repeated with other wheels; basically a high pressure hose at the local carwash would remove most of the brakedust and every now and then i would give my wheels a wash with car shampoo.....no need to scrub as the dust just comes off.

I've been using a wheel wax.

I will give giving this stuff a go. A spray would be much easier to use than having to wax on, wax off.

Tried NON acidic wheel cleaner? Spray on, leave it on for a few minutes, and hose off. Sparkeles the wheels, cleans off any crap build up. But you still should use a 2nd sponge to take off remaining residue. Then I would suggest applying this brake dust repellent product.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
