Changed fuel filter. Was pretty manky. Glad I changed it. But I didnt see any of that black pitting that some people talk about when they run e85. And Ive been on it for 3 years now.

Cleaning out garage after car has been hibernating.

Ive bled the shit out of the brakes yesterday. Brake pedal feels abit soft. Do have new pads. While the car was standing the reservoir was empty, soooo I presume the ABS unit was also drained. Am I meant to be doing something specific to get the air out of the ABS? There seems to be zero air in the lines.

Ill go for a proper drive, bed brakes in and see how it goes.

ok,

brakes are now all good. have feeling no spongy pedal and no squeals.

Had some trouble bedding them in as they just started squealing for a while. So I did decided to go harder on the stopping, few of those cleared it right up haha. QFM HPX are pretty good for a street pad Id say. Doesnt look like they throw much dust which is always a bonus.

My racepace front pipe was no where near to fitting on the car. But after countless alterations, it now is now the highest sitting 3"-3.5" front pipe I have seen to date, only sits just lower of the x member. Sounds pretty grumpy now.

If anyone wants a great exhaust shop around the central coast region, I highly recommend TM Performance exhaust in Erina. David is an absolute legend.

Car is booked in for a touch up tune so I will be sure to update then.

Time to try some of this stuff. It gets a good rap from the guys over on the detail forums. Meant to last a few months aswell.

It's brilliant stuff; one of my detailer mates put me on to it.

So good on dark coloured cars.

Update on collinite.

I love it! Best wax/sealant I have ever used. This is only based on ease of application and the fact that I experience zero smudge.

Out of all waxes I have used, none have removed as easy as this one.

Stay tuned for longevity test. Let's see how long it will bead.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
