looking good mate!

they're actually grenade GX01 rims, not R34 GTR as stated on the last page :D

ah, useful bit of info that one, thanks for that, (i did say replica though :))

The car looks great !! I love what u did with the interior , how hard is the interior to do ? I wouldn't mind trying tha my self ??

Thanks dude, Sadly i have since removed it all since it started to peel up when the interior got hot (im 90% sure its because of the paint on the trim i applied it to) I am now contemplating 1 of 3 options.

1. Coating the trim in Clear a few times and then hitting it with the cf vinyl again in the hopes that the clear will provide a better base to adhere to

2. Stripping it back and re-spraying it in VHT Black Crinkle paint

3. Saving up and replacing the interior piece by piece with real Carbon pieces from Superior Auto Creative

Again, it looks really good, Stephen. Great work. :thumbsup:

Thanks Victor,

Been set back a touch with doing the retrim on the doors, need to figure out a good way to remove all of the old foam that was under the material, that stuff is stuck on so damn well, metho cleans, but doesnt remove the foam as such.

I'v decided to do this to a side project. how do you join 2 peices properly?

some area's have taken a long time and many re-tries such as mirrors.

I'v stopped caring about little creases and once completely covered will redo them maybe.

my thumbs hurt..

what do you guys charge per hour to do it professionally, I'm not in brisbane though just curious.

Ok guys, bit of an update here,

Finally solved my problem with the foam on the door skins, the best solution was to take the skin off the door, and lay it flat, then with a scuffing pad scrub the crap out of it until the foam eventually all came off (forgot to get pics of it at that stage)

after that, a blade around the edge took off any of the excess bits in the recess.

Also, before i attacked the foam i figure, whilst the door skin is off i might as well wrap the window controls and also the triangles in the corners of the door where most people mount a tweeter.

TRIANGLE

This is what the drivers door looks like at the moment, with all of the excess foam all over it, Horrible! (will attack this door tonight)

Then, these (and a scuffing pad that i forgot to include in the pic)

Added together =

And all back together retrimmed skin with carbon-ized window trims and triangles

Stay Tuned!

So putting a little attention towards the interior, :)

Also worth noting, the bootlid has been re-glassed, as long as it doesnt crack or have any issues in the next few days, itll be getting primed and paint hopefully during the week, and then wrapped maybe around sunday *fingers crossed*

ive got the carbon fiber dash aswell

i just dont have the ac controls and the vents carbon fiber were can i get that

These guys do most interior parts in carbon for R34's, a little experimenting will get you to the right section for the parts.

That said, those pics you quoted are what i wrapped in carbon look vinyl, so they aren't real carbon.

Little side project while i haven't been working on the 34

ah nice, yeah i did the whole lot with carbon vinyl, except the triple gauge cluster.

where did you get your carbon bits from?

thanks..

i got the car like this

yea i think the gauge cluster would look abit odd carbon wouldnt match the dash

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
