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).

Thats what I like about my car... Looks smick when it's clean, even if it doesn't have the reflection quite as much as a black car would.... But even as it gets progressively dirtier it still looks good. You don't even notice how dirty it is until you clean part of it :P

Pat brings the paiiiiiiin

meh.. my jimmies ain't even rustled...

I had fake rims... fk yeah, i'm currently on my 3rd set!

(i've also had genuine rims a few times, and the only noticible difference was they cost more than twice as much)

Uses what looks to be a crunched up Diet Coke can for a catch can of to collect excess...

LOL! WUT?!

Is it just me or are Skylines actually becoming a rarity on the road? I see more 86s than 33s

yep..they are either getting smashed stolen or defected...everyone says im crazy when i tell em a GTST will be worth money oneday...or at least hold its value

s14s and 18os are holding their value well..even clapped out shitboxes go for 5k...

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
