Sure thing mate, that is why i didnt mention my business name at all.

That's beside the point im afraid, you are offering products and services to members and asking them to pm you for details.

This not permitted - If you want to do so, become a trader - Very simple.

I'm sure there would be tonnes of parts that people on here would want recreated in carbon fibre and a group buy could easily be organised. My friends on the supra forums always get together and get carbon fibre parts made in a large order (currently my friend is doing one for a supra dash).

Unfortunately as Blitz has said, people aren't allowed to advertise stuff if they aren't a trader, which puts this in a bit of a hard situation to organise.

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.

That looks heaps cool dude, are you able to get some closer shots of the vent?

I've seen them on overseas EVO forums, but I've always wondered how people did them lol

But that's what the Group Buy section is for.. If enough interest is generated then why not..

Just not sure how it would work if he is not a trader. I suppose he could do it as an EOI into a group buy and if enough interest is generated than sign up as a trader or something.

Or get some one else to do the group buy saying he is the source of the items.

well i wasnt going to become a trader for a few months until i had everything organised but if there is enough interest in this particular carbon fiber overlay onto oem interior parts i will become a trader and do larger order. but you have to understand it is not a cheap thing to do, it can get expensive. as i said above.

The trick is patience, making rear Brembo stickers out of vinyl individually cutting and weeding letters at 5.7 mm high teaches you patience, images show you what I mean. You will get there just takes time.

Lol yeah, I know patience is a must, but I wasn't talking about that :banana:

Was just wondering if you were able to wrap it in 1 piece or in pieces or if you needed to make a cut on sides of the inside of the vents :P

That one was one piece but takes to long manipulating the material, just wanted to know how far I could push it and I learnt a hell of a lot. Next time I would do a couple of slits but wouldn't be an issue to hide the joins.

But now every prick I know wants me to do stuff for them, one mate wants various roof, boot and bonnets done on 3 cars and it goes from there, supply isn't an issue now which is why I will be doing it.

You should see the 2010 dealers catalogue it has 6 to 8 colours for Carbon look now available to order, I got an earlier one yesterday but couldn't convince the guy to let me have the 2010 one.

Well once again Charles has done some great work! Always loved the look of weathersheilds but hated the fact they were brown. The answer was clear! carbon wrap :P Just finished fitting them to my car unfortunately its dark but this is the best photo i could get.

Love the new JDM look, much more aggressive :) Thanks Charles your a champ! :P

I don't want to take away from the greatness of this thread, but, a couple of weeks ago I wrapped my B-Pillar trims in the vinyl on my N15...

Unbelivable stuff to work with, but I have restrained myself from going too over the top...

After seeing the things wrapped in this thread I have to admit I have reconsidered... haha

Thanks for looking.

Here are some images of the last couple of things I did, mirror was fun with so many curves and other stuff is from having a lot of off cuts. Couple of people thought using this stuff was easy till they sat and watched me do the mirrors.

Charles how much Primer 94 do you have left and the weather shields is one of the best ideas I have seen for using DI-NOC, I did a windscreen banner on the work ute so the Rodeo's mirrors are next.

I bought a litre of the primer for $103, and I think I still have at least 600ml left lol.

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
