Lol really? I don't know, even if my car was a bucket of shit(some would say a c180 is) I'd still look after it cosmetically as well as mechanically(not that I need to)

yeah you love the cosmetics, I mean you're always getting that crappy spray tan put on...

a c180 is shit..but when you get it bring it around for a buff...score me a detailing contract with mercedeses...

i'm fine with keeping an old car, but stop trying to polish a turd ffs.... just, slam it, get some better offset and be done with it... the car is too far gone to be a show car

I'd rather have a clean daily than a poser weekender. Anyone can put together a rough car, but I prefer to put effort in and get a good result at the end. Even if that takes another 7 years at least I will have the car I want and not have regrets about selling.

lol...harsh....but true, be better spent on new paint....I dont bother detailing mine much... :laugh:

plus it sits in my backyard so not much point....occasionally i try a new product on it but thats about as far as i get..

Fyi, The wet sanding was done on a fresh front spray by micolour

I know that feel bro

We can one day pass our car to our Grandkids haha

I wouldn't spend money on regularly detailing a car unless it was somethig special. But whatever car I drive in, I will always detail myself and wash weekly. I used to wash and wax the EA Falcon shitter I drove around in 3 years ago. Hardly worth it to most, but it was the cleanest looking EA Falcon around and the shine goes a long way in making any car look good (provided decent paint).

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
