haha yer too lazy to get a stanley knife i got pharyngitis and was like so bored at home decided to give it a go!

thanks for the advice jus hav to decide on what to do next :D

Haha, a few more pieces later, you wouldn't even need to decide on what to do, you'll just wrap without realising it hahaha.

Just had some interior bits done on my 34 by Charles. Thanks mate. Top effrot! :D

Cheers pal, glad you are happy with it :(

Im curious to know if anyone has tried clear coating any of the parts they have covered with the vinyl yet? just interested to know what it would look like

Yea mate, clear coating the vinyl is not a very good idea.....

Yes it does protect the vinyl, but because the vinyl has been embossed to create the CF pattern, clear coating it will fill all the indentations, which makes the vinyl look like gloss black and the shiny CF effect would be reduced.

Let me know when you're confident in doing the tripple gauge holder so I can get you to do my stock one. I'll also get you to do the shifter/head unit surround once I get a stock one in my hands.

All sweet dude, I'll keep you updated when I re-attempt my triple gauge cover :D

As for the other parts, just lemme know when.

yreah charles did.. its a couple of pages back..

Must have missed it, i went back but didnt see any pics, are there any pics uploaded?

If anyone on here wants it done properly i have a contact who does professional 100% carbon fiber laminating on oem parts. quality is seccond to none. it is costly but you cannot really put a price on what the finished product looks like, and unlike the shitty copy products off ebay and the shit most stores sell all straight from china it fits just the same as it did before.

if anyone is deadly serious and wants it done, send me some detailed pics and description what you want. can be up to 200-300 for a larger part, and less for smaller parts, but the more pieces i get sent the cheaper it can be. (this price will include shipping back to your door.)

any questions pm me please only ask if you are serious about getting the work done

Ok now this is getting interesting! So judging by the pics, that is putting a real carbon fibre coating on products? Any way you can share the business name rather than dealing through you? (no disrespect to you, but i'm sure we would like to know who we are dealing with)

That looks suspiciously like the work of Mad Coatings.

From what I've seen in person, they're damn expensive but looks amazingly good.

That doesn't look like mad coatings work. Those above pics look like proper carbon fibre. The above process appears to be what these guys do.

Here is my nights work with the vent being a fun job, from what I have seen the cheap stuff is cheaper for a reason. I do use sign writing vinyl every day and I have an electronic heat gun with 10 degrees increments so it is a tad easier for me.

Had to do the badges for the hell of it to the extent of each tips weave running a different way.

Last year i actually started my own importing business doing High quality Bokykits and carbon fiber parts. not just cheap copies but all of my moulds are made straight off of genuine parts, giving the best acuuracy, fittment and quality to every fiberglass or carbon product which is made. 90% of my parts are pre drilled and only the highest grade materials are used to keep strength and eliminate distortion of the part. It took a long time to source my supplier and to verify the high quality of the parts and moulds they make for me(by trial fitting the raw products) Part of my business is I actually take orders and sublet the (carbon fiber laminating)work to my supplier. i have only just started this business and have not even left my other job yet because i cant find a decent workshop yet and my webpage is only just being started next month. So i cannot give the name of the company because they do not do single orders as they have a min order quantity. As i said if anyone has a genuine interest in getting only the BEST quality work around, pm me. thankyou.

    • 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?
