  1. Interested in knowing which DBA rotors you purchased and where from/how much etc... Thinking of buying some myself as im pretty sure there isn't much left of my stock fronts and they might be a worthwhile replacement/improvement
  2. Yes, it's a full wrap.
  3. I'd volunteer my car to have it's photo taken once the new rims are on
  4. Just an FYI, Phil, the one you are after is the gtt top secret front bar for a gtt, The one Jack posted is the gtr top secret front bar 'to suit a gtt' I like them both but prefer the one jack posted only when it has the additional lower lip
  5. Nick's car... Hope you don't mind bud lol.
  6. Are you talking about paint primer or adhesive primer? Couldn't tell you with regards to paint, but as far as adhesive primers go 3M's 94 Primer is probably ideal. That said, you shouldnt rely on an adhesive primer to get the best finish.
  7. Vinyl ideally sticks to a smooth painted surface, anything less wont be guaranteed by a pro wrapper or the manufacturer warranty. That said it is possible that it will stick to primer, again as long as it's smooth. I have wrapped some primered parts before, so it can work.
  8. If you are in NSW, contact Mike from Carbon Demon, he'll look after you, tell him Steve from Wrapture sent you. Hard to say how a wrap will last with track duty, as long as it's not getting sprayed with stones and the likes constantly it should be fine, most vinyl manufacturers warrant their material for 5 years in outdoor australian conditions, but the can last longer depending on how often you drive the car, if it's garaged, and how well you take care of it. Cost is dependant upon the material used and the installer. but like i said, contact Mike and he will be able to price it for you.

  10. Yes you can end the vinyl wherever you want without having tucked it behind something. Firstly you are going to want to clean the absolute shit out of those parts, depending on what they are made of, some Isopropyl alcohol is the best bet as it doesn't leave any residue at all once dry. For edge like that, i'd recommend a little bit of 3M 94 primer (liquid adhesive), just brushed onto the edges of the trim where you want to end the vinyl, give it 60 seconds or so to dry just a little and get tacky, then work quickly to get the vinyl down over it and trimmed up. Don't forget to post heat it once it's down to speed up the adhesives bond.
  11. Love it Dave, if i can justify sneaking some money out sometime soon i'm definitely keen for a set.
  12. Sack Boy! Also have you thought about doing anything for the indicators?
  13. Wow top job Dave. Sure beats paying $1300 + for nismo ones.
  14. As above, with those mods and no more than 12psi, i wouldn't be expecting higher figures than what you have already, stock turbo isn't going to live too long on more boost, so that's probably going to be your first restriction in the chase for more power.
  15. The wrap above has been on my daily driven car for 2 years... Is washed with Meguiars gold class car wash and was left outside un-garaged for a year through a brisbane summer and winter (not something i would suggest but is testament to the strength of the product) You can use wash and wax on a wrap, but if its a matte colored wrap then naturally you wouldn't use a wash and wax or something that contains anything aimed at keeping your paint shiney, that would defeat the purpose. If your wrap went glossy or even satin from a matte finish then it sounds like you've used something you shouldn't have. Yes you do need to clean it as quickly as possible as the vinyl 'can' stain, doesn't necessarily mean it will, but would you leave bird shit and tree sap on your paint? I don't think any regular enthusiast with decent paint would. And in the end, if you stain/scratch/damage a panel, simply rip it off and have it re-wrapped in the same material....simple
  16. A wrap is cheaper / shameless plug
  17. Oh Geez, im definitely missing some things then, i don't even have the foam housing for them to sit in like that!?
  18. Second ones for sure, Would love a set of Sunline or Nismo led tail lights for the 34, just can't justify the $$
  19. When you say died, what exactly do you mean? I just installed a set from Just Jap (SRI) and they are creaking like no tomorrow... any ideas?
  20. nvm, you posted before me
  21. Well what about some custom ones? As opposed to, don't take this the wrong way but 'posing as' Volk rims? (No this is not a shameless plug for myself but i can assist with this....)
  22. Firstly let me say, they look great, and will look even better once you lower it some, BUT, if those are Varrestoens, do yourself a favour and remove the Volk and Rays stickers.... Otherwise you might as well go and stick a gtr badge on the car....
  23. As above 3M double sided tape, has red backing paper. If you want something that isn't going to move pretty much ever try out 3M's VHB 4991 double sided tape (i believe it's what is used to hold the go-pro camera stands etc to cars/boats etc...) I don't think you can simply get this one from bunnings, but i may be wrong as i get it directly from 3M
