Heya Dude,

it just so happens that i had to clean my headlights on the weekend! Ok it prob looks as though it's dirty on the inside but don't take the headlights off.....

My friend who is a proffesional detailer (details Porsche GT3's!!! Ex Alf Babrbagello cars!) came round my house on Sunday to get my car ready for the show.

I spoke to him about the skylne headlights and how they are always misty looking. He said that more than likely the plastic used on the headlights is quite old and it actually absorbs smog and exhausts from cars in front. He said watch this... got out deep cut Polish ( i nearly fainted to think he was gunna use it on my baby and ruin stuff! ) then started rubbing then KAZAAM! all gone... my headlights look brand spankin new!Give it a go. He said Any Cut & Polish will work as long as it is a deep cut and polish....

On the topic of head lights.

I'm not sure if mine are dirty or not, they look alright except at night when the lights are on, you can see heaps of little scrathes (really small ones but heaps of them), it's been like that since I bought it...

Do you think Cut and polish will fix that???

Cheers

Rob

Cut And Polish will get out small scratches so depending on how deep they are....

Hi Just Jap (Steve)Is there much of a difference between the cut and polish and the headlight cleaner? it's just that you can get cut and polish anywhere for about half the price thats all and my headlights look brand new, please don't take this as any offence at all just trying to see what the differences are other than proce between the 2?

you can also use hydroflouric acid. this also works to get water-marks off windows. its very toxic stuff but just spray on and wash off...

Don't use this stuff man. Gets in ya veins and melts 'em inside out!

Go the cut and polish (or Steves stuff)... ain't got nasties in it like glass melting hydroflouric acid.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
