iv got them on my car 2, looks like everyone has them then. However it seems like a good thing though as I can see a couple or spots that look like they have had a few stones thrown their way and the sticker has done its job and saved the paint and taken the impact. Silver paint FTW dosent stand out that much when the car is clean

I had taken off those stickers. Was an absolute pain to get the sticky stuff off. Dunno how I got off. I used a combination of wax, clay bar, this bur/tar remover and alot of elbow grease.

Half way through taking off the sticker...I thought I shouldnt have started...but is all good now.

My echo has those stickers as well...I hadnt taken it off but there are heaps of stone chips around the sticker!

ur lucky! haha

i'm might not have had any sticker but i've actually had other things go wrong with the V since i've bought it.

only had the V for about 5 months but have had to spend over $2k on it.

it's been good for the past couple of weeks but i'm dreading to think what will go wrong next.

spending 2k on FIXING it or spending to mod it? they are 2 different stories~ :laugh:

Got them and will ask the detailer in a few weeks to remove and polish that section up to match

White cars sometimes are the worst!

Hey Matt did you get to book in Mark from Dr.Detail? what did he say about your problem?

Im removing my sticker toms!

nah just fixing it

i would of loved to have spent that $2k on mods...fingers crossed i won't have any more problems

and while we're on the subject...

in the last 3 months....I've had 'fixed'....

Gearbox rebuild...$4000

Driver's door lock actuator $400

Fuel Flap/door motor $N/A (fixed myself from spares)

Battery $100

Passenger Power window motor $400

Clutch and Fly wheel (no, not part of the gear-box!) $1500

Brembo brake pads/rotors renewed $400

mmmmmm.......good farking thing I didn't have to pay for it!

Extended warranty really is a good thing.

Battery came out of my own pocket....fair enough.

He came and saw my car. Said the white ones come up great.

He said the problem was most likly the stuff is sticking to the car alot more than others because there is so many hills and vallys in the paint. I did get it off with the clay bar, but it was a stuggle.

Once the car is detailed and smooth, should be a breeze to wash.

Mark was great to talk with and i'll be booking it in very soon.

i bought privately so had to bear all the costs myself. Should of bought from a dealer as all the problems with the car would of been covered by warranty.

    • My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.
    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
