Ok, so after spending about $100 double sided tape, I'd like to ask... has anyone tried to stick the Apexi stands ontop of the triple cluster on an R34 GT-T and got it to REALLY stick?

I'm not going to glue the buggers down, so any help with brands/types of tape most appreciated!

3M outdoor tape, the type to use to stick things to brickwork. As well as cleaning the surface to be stuck to with some isopropyl alcohol prior to application. Not to an r34, but I had the devils own trying to stick to my r32 and my03 dashes.

Make sure you clean the surface of the dash first... then, go to Coles and buy some goo strips... they're clear gooey blubs of disposable sticky stuff... not super glue so can be easily removed without scratch your dash but strong enough to hold your stand.

I got frustrated too, until I discovered this... I think it's made by 3M too.

Good luck.

I got some 3M tape from Bunnings, cleaned both dash surface and stand surface with some decent spray and wipe then just stuck it on, held fine with no issues for a year until I ripped it off. Make sure you clean both surfaces because that makes all the difference

Thing that really rocks my world is that fact that it sticks to the metal holders fine, just not to the cluster.

Hmmm, ok, I'll see what else I can do. Does anybody know what to clean it with and where to buy the stuff?

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
