Hey guys! Name's Kieron and I'm from Sydney, Australia (as the title states lol).
I have had my driver's license for two years now, and in that time frame I have owned two Nissan Pulsars:
First was an N16 Pulsar Q S1:
At the time, owning this car, I knew peanuts about detailing and I didn't care too much about maintaining the car's paint. Just gave it a wash every week, which eventually became (dare I say) every month to month-and-a-half.
Second was an N15 Pulsar SSS S2:
- Before:
- After:
NOTE: The second photo is the car with the coilovers installed.
Now, with this car, the paint had already started to fade. It became more evident, as it was parked for a long while under the sun. Since I loved this car a lot more, I decided to try maintain the paint and began learning about detailing; from clay barring (a god-sent), polishes to waxes. Also, the second photo is the result of all of the below car care products after a few weeks of applying UPW.
Motor:
- Tomei Poncams (apparently)
- 2.5" Catback Exhaust with dump pipe muffler and resonator
- Custom Extractors (4-2-1)
- Dodgey CAI with K&N panel filter
- NGK Spark Plug Leads
- NGL Spark Plugs BKR6EIX-11
Exterior:
- Autech/SR-V Grille
- Autech Indicators
- VZ-R Taillights
- VZ-R Lip (sold, but getting a brand new one soon)
- VZ-R Crystal Fog Lights
- TeamHEKO Weathershields (5 piece set)
- eBay bonnet gas struts
Interior:
- Nismo Leather Gear Knob
- "To Suit NISSAN Pulsar" Floormats (lol)
- Black ASD Seat Covers
- Recaro SR3 + Bride RO-Type Rails (passenger awaiting rails)
- Dashmat
- Universal DIN cup holders (lol)
- JDM Fascia with cupholders and coin holder
- Nearly all bulbs converted to LED
- 20% tints
Sound:
- Clarion VZ401A DVD Player
- Pioneer 12 inch Subwoofer
- Kenwood KAC-6203
- 4x Pioneer 220watts TS-A1671S
Wheels:
- 16"x7" Advanti Maze-R black with red lip (hate/looking to order Enkei RPF1 in SBC)
Suspension:
- Standard SSS Strut brace
- Yellowspeed Dynamic Pro Sport coilovers with redesigned rears
- JDM VZR Rear body brace
- Whiteline Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar
Other:
- Nistune ECU on stock settings (another apparently)
Potential future mods:
- Cusco rear strut brace
- Enkei RPF1 in SBC 16x8 4x100 +38 (or +32 if Enkei will allow this type of special order)
- UKDM Almera GTI P2 side skirts (payment pending)
- JDM Rear pods (awaiting a cheap pair to come up for sale)
- Mazda MX6 rear sway bar links to replace Whiteline 'figure 8' links
- Mazda 3 rear sway bar links to replace stock front links
NOW, the car car products I use:
- Meguiar's Ultimate Wash and Wax
- Meguiar's Lambswool Wash Mitt with Bug Remover
- Meguiar's Soft Buff Synthetic Chamois
- Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax (weekly, after every wash)
- Mother's Clay bar kit (cheap lol)
- Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #7
- Meguiar's Cleaner Wax (one coat) - Yes, I know I don't really need this but I bought it because I didn't have UPW at the time.
- Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax (two coats)
- Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant
- Meguiar's NXT Generation Glass Cleaner
- Meguiar's Insane Shine Tyre Spray
Hmm, just realised how many of Meguiar's products I use... lol whoops!
I usually get my detailing information from this forum or from The Junkman's YouTube videos. Must learn how to use an orbital buffer (any buffer, really...)
