what so special about that one, it is self wash?

I think there are 5 slots where you can self wash it or you can go through the drive through.

I never vaccum my car there tho waste of money, rather do it at home.

i was there xmas day giving it a wash .

in between xmas lunch's stopped buy to shine it up a bit.

i only wash it if im going somewere nice. or if i know it wont rain for at least 2days.

its a wagon i spend about 8bucks min' washing it so i have to be picky when

so you wash then let it dry then put that stuff on? or in weekly intervals?

I dont wash my car in months...its quite neglected. then again i dont drive it much.

weekly intervals - like wash the car once a month, and use the speed detailer during the weekend

rainy season however, its a bit different, cos car gets dirty quicker

if you're using HP soap from a DIY, it will strip your wax... that shit is just too harsh. Not even say Z2 Pro will handle much of the DIY soap.

I have tank + Karcher setup at home. Leaf trap -> silt trap -> tank filter -> tank -> in-line pump filter -> pump -> inline Karcher filter -> Karcher :(

wash when it's raining or the sun goes down, so the panels don't dry. And will be monitoring the pH levels in the tank, and correct if need be, if the pH level goes into a range where it will be detrimental to wax.

love being able to wash at home now.

i used to wash it twice a week when i first got it. not being able to wash at home and me getting older and lazier doesnt help.ha I might have to give Basti's game play a crack.

eh? my game play?

daniel what size/type of filter do you have on your tank? i've got a large one that we flush the toilets with but im not willing to use it on my car as the water isnt clear at times. i think there is a filter on it somewhere

    • I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues
    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
