She's Here!

[strutto]

SuperCheap will have it in the paint section... Similar to thinners I guess...

[Nexus9]

I also have a bunch of receipts and a KFC receipt in Japanese

Bit of contact over the top of those down by the front wheel arches will look sweet

[strutto]

DO IT!

[grigor]

I would not use prepsol, especially for a big area like a bonnet. As it's name suggests, it's a pre-clean prior to painting.

I've had success with tea tree oil, but what ever system you use, do it in the cool and shade. Try for an area out of sight first.

[Squizz]

Use euchalyptus (sp) oil.

[strutto]

ROFL this gunna turn out like that Simpsons episode where Lisa gets gum in her hair...

"Whatever you do, don't use a bone... It'll only make things worse!"

[Nexus9]

Use Icecream and Peanut Butter with a bit of ice to make it harden, then crack it off with a tap from a hammer

[predator]

hmm, that sounds tasty!

well that is what you get from a bunch of blokes when you ask them about cleaning Do we have any mothers in the house?

Thanks for the suggestions.. I think tea tree or eucalyptus oil may be the best bet to start with. Metho worked nicely to get the ink off the windows but that eats paint. Just want to get the damn crap off, I have more important things that need doing rather than getting sticky crap residue off the bodywork

Nice Gordo Weclome back to the turbo world.

I reckon you should continue the lines right over the roof/boot and give cyrus a run for his money

[BZERK32]

congrats!

il be going a rb25 r32 soon too

[jonn]

Needs a clean and general tidy up over the next few weeks.. and if I ever find out the #@$#@$#@ who decided to sticky tape up the bonnet they're in trouble! Because cloth tape is an absolute BITCH to remove! (any suggestions???)

Desolvit is the stuff to use. Just soak it on the area for a few minutes and it wipes of. It's citrus based so it won't hurt the paint.

Looks Damn good Pred, nice project thread me thinks!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO He's not alowed to do that, I hear Lauren is getting racing stripes, it's hard being a trend setter

Nice buy for $7200, I wonder if I could get a 4 door for the same price?

I'm sure you'll be having lots of fun preparing it for registration.

[predator]

Hey Jev,

You should be able to - the 4 doors go for a bit cheaper than the coupes generally. This one was a couple of $k cheaper than some, mainly because it was auto. If you want auto, reckon you would have quite a few 4 door to choose from (although from what I have seen, leg room isn't the greatest in the r32)

I'd just go for a stock one like this one, then you know its maybe less likely to be f'ed with..

LEGEND MATE!! Picked up some De-solv-it at Bunnings tonight ($8).. Its like magic.. and like you say, it doesn't hurt the paint at all, just spray it on, and after a minute or so it all just wipes off.

To get a lot of the initial goey mass off, I also found the old fashioned boiling water, and scraping it off work pretty well.

Anyhow, all gone now.. Thanks again - thats stuff is the best

Correcto... R34 has the most leg room out of the 32, 33 ,34 series.. havent had the pleasure to check out the V35 yet tho..

[HR31_RB20DET]

The tape must be the latest in Japanese rice.. I also have a bunch of receipts and a KFC receipt in Japanese, how exciting

Will and Scott are on the money.. it *is* stimps old engine.. not the twin turbo one (i hope!) but the other one he had... I'm going to take those off at some point and get them polished or anodised.

Where do you get this purpsol or prepsol stuff?

Everyone must know Stimps,

Don't stress, the twin turbo rb25 is still getting around in the VL and the new owner has put a set of forgies in it

[predator]

well.. I think I've spent about 6-7 hours on this over the weekend, and I still haven't really finished the interior or the engine bay.. every inch of bodywork has been shampooed, cut & polished, waxed and buffed.. its worth it though.. here is an "after" shot.. With that carbon bonnet its going to come up pretty well I think..as the bonnet is the only dodgy thing atm:

And cut and polish is god.. those big scratches are hardly visible anymore... and look at that shine!

[KamikazeR33]

gordo try some polish

id use one without cutting agent in it... i use "shell" brand... i guess u could get it from a shell servo... in a yellow bottle
