I wouldnt use standard sticky / duct / electrical tape, your right - that wouldnt do anything.

However in the picture I found on google, that looks like cloth tape to me.

It's 3m blue painters masking tape. All the ricers use it because it doesn't leave any residue behind and they think it looks cool

I use it for masking off panels when polishing

Reality is clear sticky tape would offer more resistance - simple test, try pushing a ball point through plastic based sticky tape vs paper based masking tape

Yeah judging by the colour, it probably is that 3M tape actually, now you mention it.

Thats the same tape I use when polishing. Very thin - wouldnt do sh*t for your bumpers!

So how does a bidding war work?

Did you deal with the people bidding or with the owner, because i sure as hell wouldnt trust myself from getting greedy when selling a car if i had more than buyer interested :)

I'm not suggesting that a war happened in your case ossie but could not a seller co-opt the help of a phantom bidder when a seller advertises "bids over such & such"?

Easy to do?

Congrats on a sensational motor vehicle - one of the world's best!

Congrats on your purchase. Definitely a good a buy with those KLM's if the car is immaculate. Thanks for letting us know what you paid too, certainly is a very helpful guide. When you look at some of the other cars there for sale, they really are dreaming for what they're asking. As has been said before on this forum 'the market decides'.

Congrats on the purchase,

But for those taping up their cars to stop chips etc... for the love of god, at least get it done using a decent product.

Yes it costs a little more than a roll or 2 of tape, but you can barely see it for one, and it should last for years, and WILL actually stop stone chips, and even minor scratches/scrapes.

We use 3M scotchguard paint protection film. See below. (FYI this image isn't my own)

Just finished fitting a tracker and anti hijack device to the new toy. All works good tracking in realtime on Google maps and remote shutdown.

Can you PM me details of the tracker? I'm very interested!

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
