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.

Noy

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

Right

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

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.

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
