Hey, i've noticed that my rear wing and roof has these grey/white spots all over it, i've been watching it for a while and it seems like its like fungi or someshit cause it grows.

I've rubbed my finger over them and its smooth, its like its under the paint. Been polishing my car every month

Been taking good care of my paintwork since i bought the car but these spots just came out of nowhere lol and they keep getting bigger

my car has the paint code kr4 which is silver

any ideas?

will post pics when i get home from work

its smooth like the rest of the paint, no known chemicals have been dropped on the car, it started on the wing, then i noticed it on the roof the other day, its spread evenly across the roof and wing only, its wierd lol

weird as. if its smooth, can probably be buffed out. but, it could also be clear lifting and ready to peel. kinda hard to say without seeing it in person

take it past a deecnt panel shop and get a pro's opinion maybe? im kinda stumped

    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.  
    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
