Hey all, just found the answer to a common import issue. Gross, yellow or cloudy headlights. Great product by invison, the headlight restoration kit. All I can say is that it is amazing. Saved me so much money. Took all of two hours including drying time, easy to follow guide and everything comes in the box, $45 from autobarn. My headlights look like new.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

I have just used a buffer and a fine cut paint cleaner (probably similar to swirl remover) when doing it on other people's cars, it lasts years before it starts to go yellow again, and you could probably just wax it when you wax the car to help protect from UV.

The fine cut cleaner works well on tail lights too. They don't normally go yellow, but they do lose their gloss finish after a while

Buffer does nothing its just a quick fix. The kit has a UV protected which "help prevents" it happening again.

I've done a few cars with this method, I don't think it's a quick fix. Some have been done for over two years and there as good as new.

LOL everytime this issue comes up I reach for the

I'm in the U.S atm. How much is the Meguiar's in Australia?

I bought this http://www.fastbritereviews.org/ for around $12. Tempted to buy the 3M restoration kit to compare as its around $20. The Meguiar's is around $6 though they also sell the full Meguiar's restoration kit as well.. would be interested in buying one other, maybe putting tape through the middle and try both on each side.. or maybe not.. :whistling:

There is so much to buy here lol, maybe if I have the chance may get the G35 Battery Trim/Cover which will save on shipping. Wouldn't mind buying one from a wrecked G rather than new.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
