No wonder u fail if ur washing it with a rag!

I didn't, went to Apple Peel carwash thing and did it myself...

... twice.

Not that hard to wash a car man

Go watch the Karate Kid for some pointers

*sighs* more movies to watch...

rolling start ~70ks 350z + 5 litre commo disposed of. not bad for a lawn mower motor

anyone know of a good place to get calipers re painted?

Washed my car again, and I fail at washing cars.

Note to self, pay someone to wash it with a rag.

washed mine last night and again today, got home look at the front fkn bird shit on the bonnet. f**k it.

what you do grant is wash it with the detergent thingy spray gun

dont use the car wash brooms

then once the car is soaked and has some detergent on it

use a microfibre cloth, if you dont have one, use an old tshirt

you do this to wipe away the dust/dirt that simply spraying it doesn't clean

then do this as quick as you can (dont let it dry) and keep washing it down whilist you do it

never let that dust/dirt dry

then it should be bang on spotless

Got my calipers powder coated

Same with front mount, intercooler piping and plenum.

Powder coat > paint

but that will mean removing calipers no? cbf doing that also wanna keep the writing on em different colour...

will powder coat the rims black after i paint the calipers yellow

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
