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

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

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
