  1. Yeah it's not right , got a new sender on order
  2. yep horrible stuff , old stuff was meant to smell of flower but did it ####
  3. Most have said hello as I was a potential owner but any excuse to show off my new purchase OK so here we go . Couple of little problems , the oil pressure gauge isnt working , no way the engine would run as well if it was actually at 0 psi on hot idle so I need to investigate that Two rear tyres needed pretty soon as only 3mm left , but the Skyline needed new ones as well so nothing lost there The air filters (yes two) were choked with leaves so popped up to Hdev and got a new pair , changed the oil as well , since i have the vac pump it only takes a few mins so seemed prudent The idle is a bit flaky ie it revs too high , this could be a problem or could just be a sign of the lack of use the car got before , it seems to be getting better it was idling at 1500rpm , its now at about 800-900 but it should be 650rpm Spent over a day cleaning it , my usual routine of claying , polishing with the rotary and then two coats of Supernatural hybrid. Interior washed with soapy water and then dressed when dry
  4. My thoughts , exactly , tried that Gtech stuff found it no better than rimwax or fk1000p so went back to those , the plus side is that 1000p works well on the rest of the car as well
  5. Reflection shots have little to do with the wax/sealant and everything to do with the polishing before hand, if you arent getting those kind of results after polishing you wont after adding a coat of wax All LSP do effect the final finish , waxes can make it look warmer and sealants can make it shine more deeply I've have cupboards full of detailing stuff , literally dozens of sealants and waxes let alone polishes but there are two polishes and two waxes I wouldnt be without , the rest could go Personally I find some of Dodo stuff to be tricky to use and often over rated , people follow the crowd , someone mentioned Colli 476 earlier thats an excellent product can get great results with it and it lasts forever also Colli 845 is great as well both sensibly priced as well This is Dodo supernatural hybrid Colli 845 Colli 476s on a mates Jag MG ZS This is Zaino (Sealant)
  6. It's not bad just not as good as driving steady
  7. If you need a buffer to remove it , you are using too much product. This is the mistake most people make Also a fan of supernatural , but prefer the hybrid sealant/wax mix , gives a great gloss
  8. its a mess at the moment but it has Sky tv in it as well had some nice things in it over the years

  11. At the risk of asking the same question again , I've had a good look on my 07 car and cant find any plate anywhere !! Any ideas ?

    Lowering

    Big fan of the eibach springs , fitted some on my Evo and then on my brand new daily when it only had 800 miles on.
  13. My daily has the troublesome DSG and has a rep for burning oil as well will be interesting to see if its affected
  14. Yep nothing like it , so fast it hurts
