Un-sell those headers and give em to me

 

Backwards, isn't that? But the point is fruitful. I've never really tried that I should, especially because any time I'm launching it's just street crap, a slight roll is a great idea.

Theyr'e all different. Some engage brakes via. ABS system, some cut out spark to cylinders, some close throttle plate, etc.

The G, I think, utilizes all 3 of these, in different moderation depending on the circumstances.

The G, 350z and probably the Maximas, also rob engine power electronically while braking. Making brake stands/auto launches, and heel-toe work totally redundant.
I might have to try this if I dont like the sample carbon 3d vinyl I have coming from Metro.

Cool stuff.

 

lol

Don't worry even with it "off" you won't do anything silly the car will still stop you. (within reason, of course)

We talked about this a while back with Mr.Brett, this is the same reason you can't do a burnout for more than a sec or 2, and also why you can't complete a full donut. Trac does take over even if it's switched off. Unless you disconnect it completely, and also disconnect the G sensor

 

hate being late to a party but did anyone else think this?

 

Expensive. I didn't say it was new, I just hadn't been exposed to it's epicness until now. I just figured it was just another fake carbon vinyl.

Which it is, to some degree, but this is a whole different level.

Fixed.

 

Thankya. I've been practicing on the G. That was my first attempt at buffing an entire body panel, believe it or not. I've also been taught by a guy who was a body man for 20+ years, though.

 

Kind Sir. Mr. Jackson i would like to inquire if you haberdashery would kindly commerce me in the procurment of the following merchantile?the item i am in quest upon is marked 96940Y.

 

Dude, that is an incredible shine..and a great pic angle!

 

So I'm noticing that my HID's may not be 100% matching and I think it's due to the glass than anything else (fogs vs headlights). The bulbs are the same temp, same brand, and were installed at the same time. When one is on, so is the other.

This is making me thinking about getting 3k bulbs but i'm honestly on the fence about it.

 

Team Honda

 

That's all you need is a slight roll, which is done while slipping the clutch.

I know later honda V6s do it by coil pack, they also eliminate tq steer by dancing w/ coil backs while heavy throttle is detected.

Sadly no idea how Nissan does it.

Nor do I care

 

oan i wonders if Clashez is attemptin to read my previous post and comprehending it as follows:Bippity car goes vroom vroom, my dog has brown spots boppity see spot run vrooom twin loop go fast boppity vroom rice vroom......

 

What'd you use? I'm just getting in the cut/buff on the G now, my first time.

I have Meguiars #6 compound, #3 or #4 swirl remover, and then the Yellow Wax stuff.

 

i got a sample of the 3D stuff i dont care for the textured feel of it and it might be a pain to clean

 

Do I peep a troll?

 

I love yellow/amber fogs. HID yellow,,..... meh.

I hate glare.

 

lynch the Honda Troll

 

need to hunt JY for 1993 lexus fog lights for the capsuls then

 

I like your approach.

I was half way through a long asz typing when I said, you know what ... it's not even worth it. And then I aborted new reply.

 

What buffer did you get?i have the meguires one but im scared like crap to buff the car cause i know paint is going to come off it

 

What's going on, Tuner? You trying to buff out the Swirlmeister for any event in particular?

 

You know what would be the greatest trolling move of all time? If Clashez all of a sudden started speaking in clear and coherent English with proper grammar and a wide range of vocabulary and explained to us he's really an Italian immigrant millionaire who pisses off Maxima.org members in his spare time while he's not tending to his many small businesses.

 

I highly doubt his so called 1st language is Italian.Now is it Clashez?

Anche patria gente che parla inglese molto poco usally parlano una forma piu corretta dei re inglesi, perche l'apprendimento della lingua da un libro e una comprensione completamente diversa contexual quando gli si parla sul popolosa.

 

 

 

For saying you dislike Clashez so much you guys give him so much attention

 

Thank ya

HIDs will color-shift after a few hours' worth of use. Sometimes up the spectrum, sometimes down, depending on the salts in the bulbs. The glass may also play into it.

I was going to get 3k HIDs for my fogs on the G, but at the risk of losing my high beams, I opted for a set of Luminics yellow halogen bulbs.

5000k lows and 3000k fogs are win. Yellow is great in bad weather (rain/snow/fog).

I wet sanded it first with 3000 grit sand paper. Then, I went and hit it with a wool pad, and some of this:



Followed by a white wool pad, with this:



Then a black foam honeycomb pad with the ultimate compound, another pass with a black foam honeycomb pad with:



Then a black foam honeycomb pad with:



And then went over it with the Finesse-It with a microfiber towel by hand.

Then, waxed it with:



I used a Snap-On buffer with a variable speed trigger. Runs up to 3000 RPMs. I stayed in between 1800 and 2200, though.

You won't take off too much paint as long as you keep the buffer moving, and make sure you have plenty of polish to keep the paint from getting too hot.

 

So R.I. gave a video game company (Studio 38) $75Million to produce games and they failed because nobody bought their games (idk what games they have made) so they defaulted on their first payment of $1million . Since RI politicians are idiots they believed this group was going to make good games & bring money to the state AND Gov. Chaffee guaranteed it..........So us tax payers are taking the hit and Studio 38 are free to go........

 

Why do you put so much effort into the paint of an older car? Are you going to lot of car shows this summer or something? I use a good wax, polish and a clay bar every month or so and my finish is just fine for my purposes

and how much did that snap-on orbital run you if you dont mind me asking lol? THe only benefit of expensive orbitals that im aware of is the ability to go really low speeds and not overheat but it doesnt appear you take advantage of that?

 

claybar every month?

 

Yea every 2 months is probably more accurate of a timeframe. I've always been told you should clay before you polish and ATL is not exactly very clean.

 

Exactly this. Thank you. I've been saying much the same for a while now.

At some point you have to stop blaming the clown, and start pointing fingers at the audience. (Donald Trump comes to mind.)

 

Thanks for the translation 'Wax'.

I had it as a kid too, I was branded Hyperactive. To the point a child psychologist put me on Methadrine (YES! Ritalin hadn't been invented yet). To this date I'm still medicated for it, since as an adult it's morphed into an anxiety disorder. I take 3 pills for that. I grew up in a bi-lingual English/Italian speaking family confused. Because My grandmother taught me Italian only to the point of starting comprehension. Then it became the 'secret language' only spoken when the adults didn't want the kids to know what was said. That said, I think my command of English is pretty good. Despite my obstacles I paid attention & learned!
So your excuses don't wash with me Clashes.

 

How that idiot got elected is still a mystery to me.....Well wait a minute, I forgot about the stupidity of the average 'Rhody'.

 

Lol yea

 

 

Coilovers are too expensive... Springs and struts for me.

 

Why not? I like having a polished finish to my car. It's personal preference. Also, there were a lot of swirls and some oxidation spots on the paint that I was trying to get out.

I don't buff my car every weekend. This is the first time I've done it in the year I've owned it. The reason you can get away with clay bar and wax so easily is because your car is beige; it hides imperfections well. Far better than black does.

I have no idea how much the orbital cost. It was my friend's. The ability of having a speed-sensitive trigger is worth the extra cost. And yes, I did take advantage of that.

 

100% agree, 3000K fogs are better at cutting through rain/fog w/o glare than a higher color temp. I did the fog relay mod, & when it's really foggy I can see better with the headlights off.
