Meguiars MLS :thumbsup:

Edit:

It's not cheap. Metal Life Saver ($39 ?)

You use a light scourer on/off - wear ruber gloves

Then Polish with metal polish

Comes in a pack with all you need including the MLS and All metal polish, gloves, cloth and scourer/applicator.

..........oh and then go through a Hazchem shower :P

I think my car is actually slightly quieter now since my Stock Dump came off and the Bellmouth went on.

Having seen that the original gasket was in 2 pieces makes me think I also had an Exhaust leak.

Slight low rev squeal is gone too. hmmmm....

Fixed stereo in Tokyo taxi. Found some wires touching in the boot.

Was making the volume go up/down and front to back by itself. Weird !

Maybe took a corner or two a bit hard - the sub had shifted (found 2 of 4 screws loose on the floor).

oh and just finished fixing toilet leakage/run on :sick:

Instructions say:

Hydrochloric acid, reacts vigorously with alloy. :O

No thanks, it might work well, but one little slip up and ill have stains etched into my polished rim.

Bowdens is working ok but it wont get the stains out.

I realize now that anything strong enough to get those stains off is too dangerous for my liking.

Ill have to use a more mechanical solution: Autosol and wire brush might work.

And ive had to run a file around the back of two rims, to get the dags and sharp edges off.

Yes... taking a hand file to Volks. :devil:

Edited by D.I.Y. Mik

Depending on how vigorous a wire brushing you are planning on doing, go the spinny roundy brush on a drill.

Cleaned up ALL the crap inside of my Rims nicely. (can lend if you don't have) :)

Swapped out my adjustable caster rods and camber arms to replace with stock ones.

Raised car to 110mm at the lowest point for vehicle inspection

smaller exhaust hangers to raise exhaust 5mm

Installed child restraint anchors

Degreased/washed ender side of car

installed OEM looking gear knob

Removed Power FC Hand controller

Removed rear wiper/motor and replaced with MFR delete plug

Hopefully thats everything to pass Dickson

Oooh that looks the goods. ;)

Brushes don't last long do they? Brings back some horrible Wheel cleaning memories...

Reminds me, probably should finish that sometime. :laugh:

found a weird one while searching for a solution

soak aluminium foil in coke or vinegar, and use like sandpaper :huh:

I think the coke is for alloy and vinegar for steel, dunno ill try it and find out.

Theres also clay bar, il give that a go but on the cleaner areas.

It seems theres no clear or anything as polishing compound goes black quickly. Ill have to give it a spray with something to protect it after.

Dropped Rosie off at Dyno Tune to get a 5k service and to fix some light bulbs :D Next stop will be breaks, I'll see how next pay goes.

I went through the pits at dickson today and i got knocked back due to not having an "engine tune up sticker" also for not having an english owners manual and i need all the japanese stickers replaced with english stickers.

Does anyone know where to get a tyre placard in english for the r32 gtr?

They also asked for me to provide stock track measurements from nissan

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
