Yeah, no way it will cause that kind of damage. I've used them on all my cars and never had any issues. Worst I've seen is a mates 32, which had paint lifting a little, hit it with the high pressure and blasted a chunk of paint off.

Paranoid OP should read the posts in the thread and take in the information. Seller was A. full of shit or B. didn't know what he was talking about. Almost every car detailer uses high pressure washers these days. The reason they don't dent is because water weighs bugger all and the impact is powerful, not torquey. Car panels flex anyway...and the ones that don't are too strong for water to cause a dent.

Case in point, buy a $100-$200 pressure washer from Bunnings, which is all you need for a car anyway...no need to even talk about industrial strength washers. Squirt your hand with it from 50cm away and discover that it has less strength to it than your garden hose when on full blast. I usually wash my panels off with the gun about 50-100cm away because that's where my nozzle attachment is most efficient at clearing suds from the car. At this distance it's softer than a shower. I've held it within 1cm before to remove bug stains and had no issues at all. It'll hurt your skin at this distance, won't hurt your paint unless you have underlying issues like cracked/chipped paint or rust beneath it...even then, the washing of the car with a sponge will do more damage than the pressure washer.

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
