Taken from the Meguiers website:

Endurance Tyre Protectant Gel

Finally, a tyre protectant that lasts weeks, not days… even after rain and washing.

Endurance is a significant advancement in tyre protectant technology, providing a rich, dark "like new" look for weeks longer than you expect with ordinary protectants.

Endurance is a concentrated gel that saves you time and money by eliminating overspray, runs, drips, spotted driveways, messy cleanup and stained towels.By lasting longer, it also saves you money because it requires fewer applications.

An added bonus is that Endurance contains revolutionary antiozonants and protective polymers that help prevent browning from environmental elements.

This keeps your tyres looking true black.

No runs, overspray or stained driveways

Comes with special applicator

Available in 'natural look' and high gloss finishes

Now in 16oz/473ml size for even better value

It doesn't state anywhere in there about silicon, so I guess they must of had that previously but has now removed it from the contents.

I'll probably go and buy a bottle and compare it with what i got and see how we go.

Cool, any ideas how to get the black crap off my tyres that was put on at the auction yard in Japan ... it's like a sticky tar  substance .... not good ... I think next weekend I'll take each rim off one at a time and clean them down thouroughly with some degreaser.

JiMbO what is with the black tar shit that gets sprayed all over cars in japan? Check this 33 out, it also copped some on the front bumper.

I use the Meguiars Endurance stuff, and it's great.

Easy and quick to apply, comes with the applicator, no cleaning needed unless your tyres are that REALLY horrible brown/grey colour, and lasts ages!

Speaking of which, my car needs a wash and service (at least an oil and filter change)...

I just use 'auto king bumper and tyre spray' Its cheaper then the brand name stuff, its silicone spray so its naturally shiny, and wont do ****e to your tyres. If you really wanna get it off, just use wax and grease remover, no worries.

And BTW, that photo of the R33 with the black stuff on the bumper looks more like the car infront of it got started up, and blew a heap of rich running black fuel all over it...:D

    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.
