Hi guys,

I need to get a tailored or custom car cover for the GTR. I want one preferably cotton or with a flannel inner to protect the new paint from dust and shit whilst it's garaged. Doesn't have to be water proof but it may as well be.

Anyone know of a place in sydney? and any experience with them, or prices?

thanks.

use some of that spray on latex you have in your bedroom

Hahahaha

Richard, i saw one at Supercheap for $25 or so that fits my GTR well, but its not water proof

I know its not ideal, but ive got a heap of fabric ready to stich onto it so the underside is very good for the paint - may look like shit but it will work

I had a look for a cover exactly like you suggested but couldnt get anything that i liked

Hope that helps

I'm using an Autotechnica one from K MART (think it usually goes for about $130). I just use it in the garage but it would be great outside also as it is very thick plastic / pvc and is then lined with some type of material similar to flanellette. Covers the whole car to the ground.

Years age we were looking for a place to buy a cover for the old man's Audi, which only gets used around once or twice a fortnight, we ended up using a few old flanelette fitted bedsheets sewn together, which works a treat. The car is always indoors, so we don't have to worry about wet weather protection anyway.

And now I find out that this place is LITERALLY around the corner from us... Might have to go and check it out.

The same place Richard is talking about? Small world!

I have one of these and I think it's great. Anyone that knows me knows how anal I am about paint and scratches too.

I bought it when I had an integra (so it's the small version, doesn't fit the 'line.. doh!).

It has a soft lining on the inside, is waterproof, and has breather holes with "flaps" to stop the rain from getting in, and stop condensation underneath the cover.

Car covers are a pain though. Do not EVER put a car cover on a car that has a warm engine... anyway, I'm sure bb knows that.

The Autotechnica covers are also available at Repco.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
