That looks really good. Is there no joins between sheets of vinyl (were you able to do a whole panel with just one sheet of vinyl)?

I thought with this idea there would be visible joins but I have to say it looks really good

well done mate looks really good i recon.

must be fun having just changed the entire look of your car over a couple of weeks!

Cheers, It really is, that said, there have been many moments where i spat the dummy and considered ripping it all of when it wasn't going the way i wanted it to... :)

Thanks :banana:

There are joins in the vinyl, thankfully they aren't very visible due to the color of the vinyl and the positions that i've placed them in

As far as exterior mods go its

-z-tune style side skirts and rear pods

-top secret gtr style front bar with lip

-nismo smoked front and side indicators

-Gloss or Matt black rims (Rota GTR's possibly, unless something comes up at a good price)

remaining panels to wrap

-finalize front bar

-wrap rear bar

-wrap bootlid after its welded and painted

-re-wrap drivers tail light

Wow! When i saw the thread title i was thinking uughh should i bother posting? As id assumed you were spraying it. haha. Not many people realize that matt black breaks down in about 6 months in the sun and needs another few coats! LOL.

But this! It looks fantastic! Always thought the Matt finish looked pretty swish, but too many try hard gangstas with spray cans killed the effect. Well done. Its looking great.

Out of curiosity.. does it have any detrimental effects to the paint underneath should you decide to tear it off one day?

My old daily hack...

Only kept it Matt as its how it was when i bought it. Looked mint when i 1st sprayed it again, but this is about 5 months later. Goes all blotchy and poop.

Congrats. Your car now looks like it's worth $5k and is just a beater :)

Quite a naive comment i don't think you see the potential it has with the right JDM rims and a bodykit it will look great! there are very few R34's in matte black so it will be unique most likely putting up the value of the car.

Lol. thanks dude, i've seen a few vans in matte black, usually young dudes getting around in them heh.

If you paint is in good condition it shouldn't cause you any problems, nothing more than a nice clay bar or cut and polish cant keep looking gorgeous.

On the other hand, if you paint is farked, expect to rip some of it up as you pull off the vinyl.

Congrats. Your car now looks like it's worth $5k and is just a beater :P

:) thats ok, im happy with it

yeah so does this sack of crap :ermm:

Never realised this thread existed, only saw one pic u had in the 34's thread. And i didn't realise u wrapped it in vinyl!!!!! thats crazy man! haha but i think it looks mean as. Funny tho at one stage i had the exact kit that u want to put on sitting in my garage doing nothing. But i sold it, just changed my mind and went for somethin more simple. I cant wait to see it all done complete with wheels etc. Even without the kit on and just a good suspension setup with wheels would do it for me.

Smoked indicators will suit much better than clear now that i think about it. Well done dude from photos it looks flawless, probably easier to see dents it seems, but i couldn't see any from pics!

Personally i would strip the weather shields off they look much more noticeable now. Wicked man ;)

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      Passenger Door stuck R34 GTT

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Passenger Door stuck R34 GTT

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
