Hey Guys,

I know you will say don't do it blah blah, but it's my car so Please help me out if you have any experience.

Iv'e ordered a sheet to do some interior parts there not individual stickers but a Whole sheet and cut it to shape, But what I was wondering, how would I Go about preping the interior plastics to hold the self adhesive sticker sheet (A Pillar, and the plastics around the gearstick, door handles etc?) Wax and grease remover? or what?

Thanks guys

i'd imagine sand it back a bit, then give it a good clean and wipe down. might wanna check that though. i've got no experience with those big sheets. i dont see how'd they'd be any different to individual stickers. normal stickers should have no problem on a clean surface especially on the inside.

It will depend on the surface you are applying it to, it says you have an R33 (on the left side thingy), if you are planning on doing your centre console/dash fascia etc... you will more than likely need to remove the factory rubbery paint. (metho and a scourer/rag will do this)

Once clean use Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), pretty sure this can be bought from most hardware/auto stores, to give it a final wipe down before applying the vinyl.

This was done using the above method.

Scourer sounds abit dodge (not sure)? but their a thing called scotch tape it comes in diferent colours meaning diferent abrasive's then wax and grease it.

I thought t about sticker bombing my whole R34 front bumper or the just the lower quartile, they look good in photos and video's such as stanceworks and hellflush and might serve in protecting paint work from rock chips but i dont know how it will turn out so putting that idea off.

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
