Hi mate, it's your car so do what you want but I highly advise against it as I've seen a few vinyl wrapped cars and none of them look descent. A new respray would be 100 times better but of course I appreciate the cost. 

Have a look here for some ideas: https://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/141332-none-more-black.html

Did you ever find out??

i was just searching to see if anyone had done a thread of wrappings a car, I was going to do a thread with advice from my experience. I'm 70% through doing it to my car atm. For anyone wanting the answer, 20m is more than enough for a 33, even for a first timer who might need to redo a panel or two or have a bit more wastage.

Obviously not finished but for a track car with rough paint and $300 eBay vinyl and first time diy I think it should look pretty good when done. Gonna do a black splitter and tint the windows for this kinda look

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.

      Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
