i work in Parramatta + park out in the open, came out to find my 'white' car brown, it was bloody clean, i even cleaned the windows this morning :)  

the air's filthy!

Yeah, I work in Parra too and came back to see my car covered in those brown spots. Kinda annoying considering the drought and water restrictions are likely to increase the time spans between washes. (NI5MO, where do you work? I'm in Colonial Tower on the corner of George & Charles St's)

What's the go with using services like Car Lovers, etc? Are the restrictions applicable to them too, considering they filter and re-use some (if not all) of their water? As long as my car looks reasonably clean, then I'm happy.

GoldZilla i have No idea were that is haha, i just started there and don't know the street names yet!, prolly just round the corner, im in Cowper street (same street as the AMF Bolwing and the big Monks palace thing!) oh and if you know the street, i don't drive a skyline anymore so don't be on the lookout lol

with car lovers / car cafe's, i got mine washed the next day (friday) and you know what happened, it rained again that night! what a waste of 20bucks, it looked so clean too!

i dunno what the deal is but they still seem to be open and very very busy as you'd expect!

    • But it's much better to use a freedom unit that has four different possible meanings...
    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
