Hey guys,

I am very much a newb btw.

Ive got a r34 gt sedan with the carbon fibre sticker wearing off on the (wat i think is called) the B Pillars. Photo attached.

Ive bought a carbon fibre sticker wrap off ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CF-R34-Skyline-GTR-...#ht_9392wt_917). Is this going to be the right thing for me to use to fix it up?

I am unsure as to how to go about sticking this on. Do i remove the Pillar to stick it on?, or do i just remove the seals around it and stick in on while it is still attached to the car.

Any advice would be much appreciated for this newbie.

Cheers

Yeah I have di noc at home as well and it can be a bit tricky first time if ur not use to it and as u ate only buying a small amount u really can't afford stuffing it and I am pretty sure there are no nismo pillar garnishes for 4 doors but to answer it initial question yes u do need to remove the pillars to wrap them. I'm not sure if they just pop of like the 2 door ones and if ur in Sydney and u want I can do them for you for 40 which includes di noc and fitting if ur in Melbourne speak to charles86 i think is his nick on sau who is the guy who originally bought this stuff to sau if u need his contact pm me if u plan on doing it yourself and need some pointers don't hesitate to ask

and if you are in Bris, i can do it for ya!

Its not that hard, simply clean the surface and lay the vinyl straight onto it, you shouldn't end up with any air bubbles as the vinyl has an air release system in the form of a honeycomb of channels on the sticky side of the vinyl.

- Simply lay the vinyl over the top and smooth down with a squeegee or bank card wrapped in a thin towel or cloth (so you dont scratch the vinyl with the plastic)

- Wrap the edges of the vinyl under the B-pillar and smooth down also, and then just trim off the excess behind the pillar piece.

(make sure you cleaned the back of the pillar piece as well as the vinyl will just get dirty and lose its tack if you don't)

First of all, the vinyl you bought, is for a coupe? Since there's only 2 strips?

But it is the right stuff, 3M DI-NOC CA-421. You just need more of it, to wrap all 6 pillars.

As for doing the pillars, they are NOT like the coupe pillars, they do not come off... So you'd have to do it while it's on the car.

I've done a few down in Melbourne. And it might look simple but it time consuming.

Because if you want a clean finish, you'd have to remove the window seals, so you can actually tuck the vinyl behind the pillar, so you won't see ANY edges. That goes for the back pillars too.

Even after doing a few, it still takes me 1.5-2hours to do all 6.

Here's a couple of pics.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
