It's a prepping product before polishing. Gets all the shit that gets absorbed into the paint, tree sap, tar etc out. Clay, Polish and wax/sealer and you'll be good. or Clay and wax if your not too worried about swirl marks n shit.

I don't know if I'm goin to have time to get the car fully prepped for the SCC. Might only have time for a wash and a wax :( Been six months since she was clayed last and she is in dire need of a good polish.

to be honest my van will have a wash but it will still have a BIG ding in the side of it.

subaru will get a wash.

still undecided which one to drive. if I drive the subaru I will have trouble keeping my foot off the gas..

I would give it a go, It pulls so much crap out of the paint

clay bar is win. did mine shortly after buying the car. get rid of all that japan style smog thats been ground in over years. you should only do it every few years, as it will take off a layer of clear coat while its doing its thing, and make sure you keep it wet and very clean.....drop it on the ground and you can throw it away. strange considering it is from the ground.....:rolleyes:

Must be engine fire weekend or something

I have a bit of a problem with my taxi at the moment - we have pulled the gauges out of my car and one of them was an oil temp one, so I took the sandwich plate out (the one between the oil filter and the block) and fitted a new oil filter on. First of all it started leaking ALOT, tightened it up and it was fine. Went for a drive and it started driving like crap, got home and it had dropped the oil again.

I'm wondering if when they have fitted the oil temp sandwich plate in, have they removed something that was meant to be there before hand? Does anyone know if there's a stock plate that's meant to be sitting there? It's a Barra 182 from a XR6.

This afternoon I'm going to bang the old sandwich plate back on to get it going again, hopefully..... it works.

If the engine is blown I might as well pull it out and put a barra 240T in there, might buy a 32 pig or something if that happens.

Front yard mechanic pro tip: Check to see if the Oring comes off the old oil filter before you put the new one on.

In other news, there's further developments to having a 26 powered veehick-le in my g-raj .

Morning Mangs,

Long weekend was good. Back at work today is not so good :(.

Flying wedge is mobile again :D

Where are we meeting this week?

McFry!

What's the plan for SCC? Do you want me to meet you at your place? Or meet you at Hyperhole? If Hyperhole, I'll need a lift back in that direction afterwards :wub:

If you can get to my place at around 8:45 that'd be grand, because I won't have to take you home afterwards :). I probably have to do some work in the afternoon (from home) so if I only have to go home from lakeside (not via aspley) we'll be able to stay at SCC longer ;)

      Another Crank No start thread - r34 rb20 neo + t

      My bet is there's a fuse somewhere you blew that feeds power to the ECU. Or you've bumped something out behind the dash board.

      rb25 Degreeing cams with hydraulic lifters?

      By Desean Strickland · Posted

      Does anyone know what the centreline should be for the vct intake cam? On my cam spec card it just says VARI and doesn’t actually tell me what the centreline should be. I had to adjust my exhaust cam gear by about 5 degrees advanced so I’m guessing I would have to adjust my intake as well? Current intake centreline is 119 deg. Iv already asked kelford and they won’t respond, It’s the 246-A 262 cams.  thanks for the help guys

      Get a timing light on it and verify it's sparking reliably at a sane ignition timing. Use a COP extension lead to be 100% sure about timing instead of hoping that the timing loop on the back of the engine is accurate. Make sure it's actually injecting fuel. MAF is not used on the stock ECUs for initial cranking.

      Shifting questions

      RE5R01A is the transmission. Didn't realize they had a 5 speed for the NA cars but for some reason the turbo engines stuck to 4 speeds. Looks like the solenoid block is still available from Nissan directly at a somewhat reasonable price: 31940-60X01 https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/skyline/er33/6568-rb25de/trans/317 I would move sooner on this than later. The moment the de minimis exception for Japan goes away expect to be paying 25% tariffs even for stuff like this.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Only RB26 are low from factory. And even then the ECU actually want high impedance, because it's essentially the same ECU as the RB20 anyway, and thus they have a f**king resistor pack!
