Recommended Posts

I've got a bit of oxidisation on both the tops of my front quater panels and am looking for recommendations of a place to take it to to have a real good cut and polish done on the entire car to get it a bit ... tidier :)

Any suggestions or comments?

I spent 3 hours on Monday using meguiars paint cleaner and then crystal polishing it and only did the front quarters, bonnet and both doors. a big effort after an hour of washing it too :) and it didn't get rid of the oxidisation :)

Jase,

Supercheap auto sell some products that I like to catagorise as "car care". Buy a good brand like Macguires, the full set so pre-wash, wash, polish and wax, obviously you'll need a cut and polish product as well, grab a rag, roll up those sleeves and do it yourself. Spend a good few hours, your arms will be in pain but the car will look shmicko :P

dave, I picked up a heap of meguiars stuff on Monday, paint cleaner, deep crystal polish and a few other bits and pieces, but the oxidisation is really stuck in.

I don't want to cut and polish it myself as I believe that a proper buffing pad on a drill or whatever would be the best way to go :huh: (plus i'm a lazy crunt).

kym, will speak to you more tomorrow mate :)

Vulcan panel and paint in canning vale did most of the work on my car. They de-badged my boot and removed the keylock (someone at work thought they would have a go at removing it but couldnt and left it hanging out). Last time it went in for the new front bar they gave it a cut and polish and it looked cool as. Give Sam a call if you live down that way.

    • I’ve seen a video on you tube where the issue is just dry solder joints and once you fix them the unit lasts forever 
    • With permission granted from the SAU admin (thanks Christian!) I'd like to introduce a new website "OEM Soko" (OEM -> Original Equipment Manufacturer, Soko -> Warehouse) https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/ It's a family business registered in Japan and owned by my wife (Japanese) with myself running the website and shipping side and doing all the English translations/dealing with clients in English. My son is also involved part time while studying. The business has been registered since 2016 but never promoted outside Japan until now due to other obligations.  So what service does OEM Soko offer? In a nutshell: Anything worth shipping from Japan via Japan Post EMS. It's primary focus is Automotive accessories and hobby related items such as model cars etc, however there's also a "Vintage Soko" section dealing with used items and categories like Car cleaning and Tools. There's also a category "Nifty items" which includes any items we come across that are a) made in Japan, and b) have some sort of "nifty" attribute.  By all means please take a look and let me know your thoughts or any feedback here in this thread. We're updating the products all the time and although it's not 'populated' so much at this stage, by checking up on what's new I'm sure there'll be something to pique your interest! * As an introductory offer to SAU members we'll throw in a "Car Wash Japan" Made in Japan 30cm x 30cm microfiber cloth with any order regardless of value! Just put your SAU member name and a link to your SAU profile in the "Order special instructions" section in the Shopping Cart (see attached image) to receive this free gift! 🙂👍 We're always open to any request for items from Japan no matter what it is, automotive related or not, so by all means please use the Contact form to send your request here! :  https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/pages/contact
    • Hi Dave and welcome! 
    • I have S15 helical too. It is a bit worn. I think the drive behaviour you describe is related to this wear. Wear of helicals is something that no-one seems to have paid a lot of attention to, but now that they (as in original Nissan ones) are all a bit old - we're starting to  see the consequences. The ends of the helical spurs wear into the casing. That's where they perform the braking that diverts torque. Some of the more modern helical designs have proper wear surfaces introduced there, but the Nissan ones are just steel on steel (or iron).
