Hey all,

I used to have my ebc and turbo timer stuck ontop of each other and that was then stuck under near the steering wheel using double sided tape.

1 year later it came unstuck and ever since then i can never get any double sided tape to stick, ive always cleaned the surface before using new tape and no i dont want to drill any holes in my car.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Ta in advance

Brendan

i had to get double sided tape for my side skirt still havent found any thats holds!!!

i use to have both my EBC and turbo timer stuck in the same position as you, tried velco & heap of double sided tape.

THEN i got my beloved AVC-R so now its only the turbo timer sitting in that position, and guess what i'm using??.. haha its a bit dodgy i must admit but it works 'BLU-TAC' haha thats right and a heap of it!... still holds in the heat to my surprise.

I used 3M VHB double sided tape but you have to wipe wax and grease on the area first it will fall off. You should wipe wax and grease over it no matter what you use, because the plastic is oily and nothing will stick to some thing thats oily.

We use this shuff at work called 'Husky' double sided tape. It sticks as good as anything I have ever seen. You should be able to get it at a arts supplies store or something like that

Hi Driver, I had exactly the same problem.. both my ebc and turbotimer are together so whatever I used it would just fall off whenever it got too hot, anyway the one I found that has worked is from supercheap autos, there's a greenish double sided tape that comes in a roll(no kidding :O ) You just need to lay strips of it on your tt or ebc and it won't fall off.. there's another roll where the foam is a bit thicker, its black I think(don't get that one), look for the thinner one.. it's only about 1-2mm think and about 5mm wide... I've had it on for over a year and it's still really tight even when I push on it.. good luck :)

i dont know the brand of the tape but.. my r32 gtr had an oem nissan dealer fitted knee brace/pad on the drivers door and center console. they were fkn annoying so i tried to remove them.

the double sided tape they used on these was f**king hardcore, in the end i had to take the door skin off and use a filleting knife to cut between the door skin and the knee brace thru the foamy part of the tape, could not get it off any other way, im still stuck with the glue on the door trim, cant get it off.

so if you really really want to fix it will this stuff exists, goodluck ever gettting it off tho

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
