this is freaky was only thinking last thursday when I was buying a quick clay kit and some polish that if it would ever turn up.... Yet to see mine but everything takes a bit longer down here in old Adelaide :thumbsup:

Ok so I didnt really look at what these "samples" were when i got them earlier, thought i'd just sus them when i gave the stag a quick was thisarvo...

Anyway I got some glass polish and super resin polish and 2 sachets of fancy car wash.

My exterior detailing kit now has:

Numerous car wash soaps

Clay bar

Quick detailer

Wax

Polish

Cut and polish

Metal Polish

Glass polish

super resin polish

Tyre shine

bumper detailer

(plus more i would have forgotten)

Seriously when will it end? how long do you guys spend washing the wagons? I seem to find myself giving it one good wash (takes half a day) and polish a month with a weekly or bi-weekly wash in between these "mega washes"

Thinking meguires has got me good on some good marketing techniques....

Ah im out washing mine proberly once or twice a week normally. With a full Exterior detail once every two weeks. ( Lots of spare time :) ) However lately haven't got to give it a good wash or detail, due to excessive work and rain and other commitments. But just finished a good detial then and i trialled the auto glym glass polish. Very happy with the results. However it made more work for myself as it showed up all the marks on the inside lol! :D

i find with the glass polish, the longer you leave it on the eaiser it is too take off,

i wash mine every week, may leave it 2 weeks before i wash it but that rarely happens,

the wife hates my detailing addiction, i must have $1500 - $2000 worth of stuff, its forever growing too lol,

the big detail (4 times a year) takes me all day (8-9 hours) to do the stag if i polish, wax it, i must be sad, i find detailing one of the most relaxing things to do.

I wash mine everytime it's hard to see where i'm going... :action-smiley-069: no,really i'm not fan of washing it because the second day after washed is all dirty again and because it shows all the details :happy: (about 5 dent and various scratches)

Beeing a daily drive is hard on her...

    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
    • Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine
    • Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
    • I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
