Awesome! Glad you like it :D

That rear bar looks good man! My only issue would be being so close to the exhaust? It gets pretty fkn hot in that area when driven in anger!

So far so good, been driving in the 36degree heat :)

I think the vinyl will be fine there, as it can stand up to 200degree heat from my heat gun :cool:

But I'll keep you guys posted regarding the exhaust heat.

I'm tackling some R33 mirrors at the moment and will post up pics when finished :P

nice work you have inspired me to try wrapping some stuff on my car now i love diy :D

got any tips for other wrappers?

just bought some and looking to do the end caps of my gtr wing and mayb the wing blade down the track i see how i go!

is the heat gun necessary or would a hair dryer be sufficient?

Hehe thanks :)

As for tips.... Just be very patient with it because if you don't get it right the first time, you can always peel it off and try again. Also try not to stretch it too much, or else under when heated, it will shrink back to original size.

You can use heat gun or hair dryer, both does the same job. I started off using a hair dryer, but it only had 3 speeds and 3 heat settings, so I moved onto a Bosch heat with LCD display of the temp. Which I thought was much better, as I know how hot to have it for certain curves :)

lastly, remember to not over heat it, I think maximum is 250 degrees, after that, the pattern will just melt on the vinyl and become like matte black lol.

have you seen the neffy wrap vinyl? i heard its better

website is http://neffywrap.com.au or the oz distributor

theres pics on ozhonda for it, he actually compared the 3m vs the neffy previously as the neffy product isnt self adhesive so applying it is very easy

sample photos he has

Yup, of course I've heard of it.

In fact... IMO, neffy is not better.

Yes, neffy is like 1/3 of the cost of the 3m vinyl.

BUT, neffy does not have adhesive backing, therefore, additional adhesive is required, that means, when applying, to repeel and re-use the same bit of material will become a problem. Not only that, after being applied, if you want to peel it off, that might become a problem as adhesive was used to secure it. Where as with the 3m vinyl, it's got self adhesive backing, you can peel off and re-use it as many times as you like (well pretty much), if it gets all creased, use a heat gun and boom! it returns to how it was before you even started. Or if it starts to lose the stickiness due to dust or oil, you can just wash it off with soapy water and it will stick again. Also the 3m self adhesive is easily reversible, just heat it up a little bit with a heat gun and off it peels.

Apart from that, the 3m vinyl has a gurranteed 4 years lifespan outdoor with UV protection and 12 years indoor, while the neffy does not offer UV protection and its not recommended for outdoor usage. And as much as you say you use it for interior (indoor), there will always be sun (UV) shinning in from your windows.

God damn it, when are we gonna see some r33 interior shots with this stuff?

Oh, that reminds me to upload some pics of the R33 interior that I did last week haha!

Give me a few mins :D

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
