I just got some 3M carbon fibre vinyl wraps from USA (you can actually feel the weaves), so I decided to have a go wraping my door pillars.

I'm going to wrap some of my interior (dash surrounds, plastics on doors) and maybe exterior (spoiler stands).

If anyone needs things wrapped, I could supply and wrap it at a cost :P

Here's some pics:

Looks excellent! Great work! :happy:

How easy is it to take off the door pillars? Do they just pull off or are they bolted from behind or something?

Cheers. :P

If you haven't taken off before, it might take a bit more force, but pretty much just open your door, then start from the bottom, start to pull it back slowly.

You should hear 3 clicks, because of 3 plastic bolts thingys, after that, just wiggle it left to right, then it should come out :)

hey just a quick question,

is its ver durable? and can it stand heat sun damage? and water damage?

cause i was thinking of buying somw this stuff

BTW it looks very good i wanna do this to my liner

This is one of the best vinyl wrap in the market at the moment, it's made for indoor and outdoor. indoor it should last forever while outdoor maybe 8-9years of sun and rain.

oh wow that stuff looks awesome, got a price on it?

Price for this can vary, range from $80-110 for 1.2m by 0.6m. It is very expensive but its worth it.

I got a day off today, so I decided to do more of my car, and I picked the cup holder lid.

As soon as I finished, I feel addicted to doing more LOL, I'm planning to do my whole centre console, climate control and my triple guage cover :down:

If anyone wants it done in Vic, I'm willing to do a piece for $20-40 (depends on size of part).

oh god, wets pants...

im going to hit up our vinyl suppliers at work, i know someone who stocks this, hopefully i can get it cheaper cos as you said it is pretty expensive, do you have a heat gun?

btw if this is the 3M DI-NOC stuff, i've found that it is rated at 3-4 years ourdoor and 12 years indoor

Yeah I have a heat gun and it is the DI NOC stuff, but last time I read about it was like 8-9 years outdoor.

Heres a spec sheet for ya dude,

http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserve...s6EVs6E666666--

4 years outdoors, 3 years in desert conditions, and 12 years indoors, all by US standards of course

oh no doubt, looks awesome, im definatly gonna look into getting some

Yeah, the finish looks better in real life than in photos, I'm planning to get more lol, kinda addicted to wrapping things :thumbsup:

haha nice, i can see why,

If i could afford it, i would probably to the door skins, then again, that might be over kill, maybe just rip off the door card material and do those, as well as the whole centre console/triple gauge

Well it does kinda go with the R34 interior pattern lol :thumbsup:

When I get more time, I'll do more and post it up :D

    • I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.
    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
