i would love to get my rb26 engine covers done. that would look tuff !

how would it go on engine parts?

I'm really not sure, as I haven't done anything for a engine bay. But I was so close to buying a spare NEO cover and shaving it and wrap it lol, but ended up couldn't be bothered with it :)

Looks really nice Charles, Just spend 30 minutes reading this whole thread!.

Once I finally get my 32 GTR I will have to buy some Vynil & tips off you.

Postage to W.A? would you charge more?

PM Sent :D

has anyone put some clear over the top to make it look more real .....it should work

Well.... This vinyl has a DRY carbon fibre look, not a WET look, and it's not meant to be clear coated to make it look like WET carbon fibre.

Putting clear coat on the vinyl will fill out all the embossed carbon fibre pattern, which will make it look more like gloss black without the pattern and the reflections of the pattern will reflect less and only in certain angles.

Nice work DRIFTT, did you encounter any cars that's got a bonnet that's longer than 1.2m?

The IS200 bonnet is actually two pieces of material with a join down the centre, it is hard to see but it is there.

Not a VN/VP, either VR/VS. I'd guess VR Exec. Still a fantastic job.

Yeah it is a mates VR Exec, looks a lot better in the car especially since he also put white face dials in so got to get some more photos.

It wasn't easy but bonnet was on the car, what is the cheap stuff and who is selling it over here.

a guy called flashX its in the for sale car parts and accesories sections, page 3 i think atm.

he reckons it the only difference is that the 3m is 0.18 and the othe is 0.16 or the other way around, and its only $60 bucks a metre, heres the link

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
