Carbon Goods For R32/r33/r34/s15/s14/ct9A Evo7-9 Round 2 Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

I am having trouble getting my eyelids to stick. I have used 2 different types of double sided tape, in different quantities, and it still seems to fall off in 2-3 days. I am cleaning the headlight beforehand, doing everything it asks..

Any advice anyone can give me..?

3M VHB Tape....

After closer inspection it looks almost like my headlights have been melting the tape.. I have heard 3m is the best, I will try this tape and post results.

hi all,

by now everyone should've received their deliveries.

let me know if you haven't and i will chase it up with aus post or e-go.

Voncina, what double sided tape were you using before?

Tarzan grip. It seemed to stick alright, but would just unstick after a few days, and I put it down to the heat of the headlights as it seemed to 'slide' down.

Like the previous post before me said, I am going to try source some 3m VHB tape. If anyone knows where to get it commercially please let me know, or else I will have to get it special ordered through my work maybe..

I'll check to see if we have any shelf life expired stock at work, there's normally something.

I'll let ya know tomorrow night.

Sweet dude, that will be really helpful!

Thanks a lot. :)

Got mine from Bunnings, has been rock solid for 3 years now. I've got 55W 12000k HID's as well, so if they don't melt it then nothing will!

Just a bit of feedback - The weatherstrips look good, haven't fitted them yet but it looks straightforward. With the pods I have spoken to my panelbeater and they will need some modding (shortening) to fit onto the stock GTT bar.

will there be another group buy?

i'm after these -

R34 GTR OEM rear bumper exhaust shroud $55

* R34 GTR NISMO Z-Tune rear add ons $150 CF

R32 GTR wind deflectors came up good. Left one needed some flexing to get to sit.

I'm using the 3M tape from ebay, bottom left corner on the left hand side seems to get unstuck after a little while.

Does anyone know if the tape takes some time to cure? I was thinking of using some electrical tape to hold it all in place overnight so it sticks better

Anyone got any tips for fitting the 34 weather shields?? Had a look today but didn't look straightforward so went back inside to the aircon and watched the cricket

Yeah see your local panelbeater lol

LOL

too hot man

i recommend sikaflex but it is a more permanent solution, double sided tape can work but don't know how long it'll last.

so if you're not confident, ask your local panel beater or body kit fitting place.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
