2010 Black R35 Paint Correction. Making The Old New Again


Recommended Posts

As you might know I recently picked up a second hand black 2010 R35 from victoria and had it delivered up to me in Brisbane by CEVA logistics with 17,000km on the clock.

The car was completely standard and in very good nick inside and out aside from a few things.

There was gutter rash on all four wheels which I had Depulu at ashmore on the gold coast fix up - really great job I have to say - and fitted a new set of bridgstones.

In addition to the gutter rash on the wheels there were a few gouges out of the rear of both side skirts and the front lip from many parking indescretions.

I had them professionally repaired on site by a prestige car touch up guy (Caedmon Foy from Superfinish) and aside from some orange peel effect, they were mint afterwards.

Then I got in James from Autoglamour to do the paint correction.

I knew that althought he car was in very good nick otherwise, that the paint was rogered.

James has done a really good job. The car does literally look like new again. I imagine the paint is probably in better condition now than many black R35's are delivered in.

here is a link to his documentation of the process, the photos dont do it justice but are a good example of how bad this paint can get.

That's an amazing end result!

The soft clear coat on Black Nissans makes them so hard to maintain without doing damage while washing; but the hard work is definitely worth it.

yep washing my solid black gtr takes all my 10+ years worth of skill as a hobbiest detailer - it can be done though

After seeing these results, I've booked Autoglamour to come and detail + ceramic coat my new family bus that arrives 1-2nd week of Oct.

Fortunately, the GT-R doesn't need any of this sort of lovin - yet :P

    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.  
    • Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune
    • Put a hand on an injector and see if that's what the buzzing is. You might be triggering the injectors by moving off idle command.
    • Ah, should have been clearer. Currently has a flex sensor installed all good to go.    like u mentioned, I’ve only ever known the car on e85, I might hate 98, but I have to try it out first. Everyone says the -5 turbos get pretty laggy on 98 octane tho…
    • Duncan , the plan is to get the down pipes done then I book it in for the full tune . Most likely late May , that's the plan.
