Rob350

Been googling a bit, a048s are reeeal expensive brand new. So thinking ad08s or ad08r, there's only £15 difference per tyre, Anyone used any of them? Also, could I go 40 profile instead of 45 possibly? And 255 instead of 245? If got standard rays

Need new tyres soon, was thinking ad08s, Iv used a048s for a track car once and were really good, Are the a048 more of a track version of the ad08s? Not the r specs. They have a very similar tread pattern. I daily the car, do 3 track days a year, and drive slow in the wet anyway so no concern about wet grip really. Any thoughts appreciated,

You must be extreamly slim to get in and out of that car mate lol but nice bumper though

Iv had a EML on now for two months, P0430 Catalyst converter efficiency below threshold bank 2 (passenger side I think??) Googling and speaking with people on here since the light came on, number one choice was to change the 2nd o2 sensor.. I swapped it yesterday for a 2nd hand one, drove about 20 miles and it came back on again. Does this mean the cat is fubared do you think? I thought if the cat was goosed the EML would say... P0*** "your cat is goosed" What's your thoughts guys???

Thanks for your time mate and going I to detail, lol iv just learnt so much lol, im looking forward to buying these products now Thanks again

Also when should i use sonnax bsd? I Shouldn't really need it if I'm waxing every 3 to 6 months?? And is a quick detailer spray a similar thing the bsd?? Or is it just a.quick wash/shine for your car say 2days after you've washed it if its not too dirty? Like a waterless wash?

I'm not getting any more swirls, I just thought you polished before waxing every time for the shine lol So I should wash, clay, polish, glaze and wax next month, and once a year from then? And then every 3 - 6 months I can just wash, glaze and wax over the top of the old wax?

Cheers for the reply iligikal. The paint is not so bad, a few swirls but you can barely see them, iv got a silver 350. I'm detailing by hand, no machine, and want a shiney as possible finish done by hand, im not after spending loads of money on products but don't mind buying a few quality things, I plan on polishing and waxing etc every three monthsish. My method of washing my car is.. I use a public jetwash every Sunday. (But not with the brush) I use the options on the jet wash as follows.. I hot shampoo the car Then high pressure rinse Then hot shampoo the car again Then fill a bucket with gritt guard in up with the hot shampoo, (its quite bubbly and really slippy/luby lol if you know what I mean) Then hand wash the car with a microfibre mitt top to bottom Then rinse with the hot wax gloss (just to try and top up the protection) Then towel dry. I do this every sunday. I washed, applied some g3 scratch remover to some noticeably scratched areas, autoglym super resin polished, and dodo juice carnabu waxed the car in November ready for winter. In a monthish I plan on doing it again but want to clay bar this time, what I wanted to know was... 1. after I wash the car, should i get some wax remover spray to remove the old layer of wax before I clay, polish and wax again? I have read that when you clay bar it removes the old layer of wax. 2. Should I.... Wash - clay - g3 scratch remover - polish - wax every three months? Or just polish (for the shine) and wax every three months? then clay bar once a year? Thanks for your advice I do appreciate it, there's so many products out there that say there the best at everything I don't know where to start googling for information lol

Interested in the head unit if you still have it in a week or two, what's it like connecting to an Android phone for hands free and playing music from my Android phone?? I Googled the head unit and it said it was for iPhone's really.

Just been on polished bliss. it's absolutely full of stuff, too much to choose from lol I'm now thinking of changing my Polish.. is the g3 scratch remover paste that i use similar to Maguires ultra finishing Polish? http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/meguiars-ultra-finishing-polish-205-cat8.html They both say they remove swirl and scratch marks. Whats the difference between a "scratch remover Polish" and a some thing like megs "ultra finishing polish" Could I use g3 scratch remover paste as my Polish for the shine I want?

Cheers guys, I'll just clay it then straight after wash and dry, What about using fairy liquid for shampoo, I heard that strips previous products off iv been using autoglym super resin polish, I thought it was a quite highly rated product

Want to wax my car again after 3months, I'm going to, 1.Wash and dry 2.Clay bar 3.g3 scratch remover paste 4.Autoglym polish 5.dodo juice carnabu wax Reading the many pages of Google, some people say clay bar will remove the old wax and bedded contaminants. While some people say use a wax remover spray to remove old wax before claybarring. My question is... will clay bar remove wax? And If not... what is the best wax remover spray? All so could wax remover spray be used as clay lube? I trust your opinions over anyone else's lol Cheers

Cheers just wanted to make sure before I order

I thought there were 1 between engine and cat, and one in the cat?

By post cat do you mean before the cat? (Between cat and engine) Gunna order one tonight Cheers

Iv got a ticky damper, the awkward one behind the plenum, I was just wondering if anyone had a little guide or just some tips when changing?? I'm sure I'll work it out but thought I'd ask before I run into any issues. I tried researching and could only find vids and guides for the easy damper to the side of the engine (drivers side) Cheers guys

PAID 2 tickets, 1 show pass, track time (12:40) 1 night in the Northampton Hilton hotel... sorted

Just realised you said you swapped your plastic undertray for a metal one..... Do you happen to still have the plastic one? And possibly want rid of the damn thing out of your shead/garage/attic? Wellllll...... I know someone who would take it off your hands if you want rid that is

The car looks really good mate, I love the aggressive look of the steering wheel, im thinking of getting one like that, also I don't think I've seen a zed with red seats yet, suits it well red and black interior. Will you be going to Silverstone japfest this year?

Thanks for replying mate, Cat sensor, or one before cat?

Iv had this code now for about 2months thinking it was a funky faulty cat or o2 sensor so no damage would be done that's why I left it, im about to try and fix it. P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 or 2 I can't remember which I did some research and tthe rough idea I got was people that had the same code changed the o2 sensor or cat and that cleared it, I looked further into it and people said most of the time it was the o2 sensor I do have a k1 exhaust on my car, and I'm not too sure if the o2 sensor spacers are fitted, but i bought the car with exhaust already on and the code diddnt show up until about 2months/1500 miles after I bought it When I clear the code it only comes back on when I'm cruising around 2k rpm for longer than 5 mins, say on a duel carriageway or motorway, this is nissans technical notes https://www.autocode...420_nissan.html Iv been researching again today and American forums have been saying things like pre cat engine failure, where little bits from the dud cat somehow make it back up into the engine. Now I'm worried. My car is an 04 DE and has got 90k miles with FSH and doesn't burn any oil really, iv done 4k miles in 4months and only topped it up a quarter liter so far one of the fuel dampers is ticking away Nicely if that might make a difference I don't know, but iv just ordered 1 off Jon today so will be fitting that when I get it Do you have any ideas whether its a dud cat? Or sensor? So I'm only buying one have any of you had this before? Is there a way to check and make sure the o2 sensor or cat is faulty before buying replacements? Thanks for any help or advice you have, I'd rather speak to you all than a mechanic or nissan lol

What hotels are people staying in? I'm going to book tickets and hotel tonight.

Are any of you going down to japfest this year? we could get a convoy together. Post your thoughts if anyones up for it ... Also Northwest meet sometime soon.... maybe? What do you thinks?

What's the spoiler called on this car? Contemplating getting this one or the duck tail one

Just out of interest, when I'm parked up at the club stand on the Sunday, can i leave anytime I like or will I be blocked in? Not saying I'm leaving but just in case. Also is there a bit of an event on at silverstone on the Saturday?
