What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

[Sunkist]

i used a product called Glassylite to restore my headlights.

i used to use Meguiars PlastiX but found that they would just yellow up after a couple of weeks.

with the Glassylite, you are basically cutting back the polycarbonate lens, polishing it with lighter grade compounds as you go, and the final step is a nano-sealant which seals the plastic again. 6 months on and no yellowing, they look brand new. best 40 bucks i've spent on the car.

ive heard about glassylite, if your saying its the goods i might give it a shot

He was in the N/A which is with NRMA, third party, fire and theft. The party at fault is with RACQ.

Scott's hi flowed turbo and injectors are now on my car...he probably cursed my name all through the 3 days he was working on it LOL.

Emanage installed by Cihan last nite, trans cooler installed by Aaron last night in the rain...thanks guys!

Got my shift kit installed today at RVO Auto. Rob's done a good job. As per everyone (Scott, Cihan, Aaron)'s advice, I asked him to make it "as firm as possible".

He said he'll do it after checking out the state of the tranny.

Opened the sump, no metal shaving, trans fluids look almost new. So he made it firrrrrrrm

Haven't been able to enjoy the car too much in its untuned state...hmmm

Also dropped the oil and put in Motul 8100 Xcess. Was too tight to pay for 300v Chrono

I head to Sydney on the 6am Qantas flight in the morning to pick up the car! Apparently its a train to a ferry, then Ben from Northshore will grab me from the ferry.

First bit turned up today, a Nismo Veruspeed oil filter. Just waiting on the Blitz air filter and Denso plugs, and I'm ready for the service. My local Repco stocks the whole Motul range, so I'll pick up some 300v and the Motul RBF600 brake fluid Iain recommended. No Nulon trade dealers in SA according to the Nulon rep who called me Monday, so my only option is to get Repco to order it in (was about $120-130/20L trade) or go to Sprint Auto Parts, which was what Nulon recommended.

Looking forward to the drive. Didn't take the day off work, worked the hours Monday and Tuesday instead. So while I'm a bit tired, I don't really have anything to stress about and can just enjoy the 1,400 km drive! Have packed my 7D, tripod and remote for some happy snaps along the way

i got my my new rear exhaust section fitted up today.

started off with 2 x 500mm sections of 3 inch pipe, 1 x 3 inch y piece and a 3 inch flange

the y piece is actuall 3 inch inlet into twin 2.5inch outlet so the pipes will need some adjustment to fit

old vs new, just needs some paint after the test fit

all fitted up, clearance is all good, just need some paint, it is a bit loud now at about 3000rpm, i'll prob just throw a hot dog in the system further up

Hey Ironpaw, that's a long list of work you've had done to you car over the last few days. I love it how everyone chips in to help. I feel all lonely up here with the only M35 in the area.

Anyway, it sounds like you're progressing well, and fast. Look forward to the reading about the rest of the mods.

Ha ha, yeah the gaurd rail won. I actually felt really good at the time, straightened my back and neck out. Anyway time to get rid of it though i have to drive the gtr to work now til i get another daily.

Kinda ironic cause i had new wheels and tyres (volk ce28n in other post) that ive been holding of fitting cause i didnt wan2 scratch them, if i didnt have bald tyres on at the time it would of never happened.

Oh well shit happens.
