I dont mind vinlys if they are tasteful.

I'm not a fan of manufacturers names (unless they pay me) and most tribal vinals are only so-so.

Get something original that suits the shape of the car, a theme or style that you like.

most of them looks shxt

but some exmple like Phuman's R34 looks alright (1-2 yr ago, now looks a bit over the top IMO)

Phumans 34 was awesome and it was covered in vinyls, you need to plan it out carefully to get it perfect to suit the car and colour otherwise it will be shit

What happened to phuman I used to see it all the time then it just vanished :(

RICE RICE RICE!! I hate vinyl, especially shopping list decals on front doors. the exception is a very clean JDM style thing that has actual sponsors on it, like a car that competes in drift or race events. As someone said by sum1 b4; vinyl is for a stock lancer with a bodykit and chrome wheels.

I've seen very few vinyls that I can look at for any more than a few seconds & then be turned off by them. They're for attention seekers only, just like 20-inch chomies you can damage on a pot hole & rearrage your internal organs with, ultra low body kits you can rip off on the first speed hump you can find, massive rear wings that just create drag rather than downforce & any other useless bling you can think off.

To me a car is like a woman in so many ways, you wouldn't want to see a nice looking chick cake her face with rosy red blush & white foundation that makes her look more like a clown, why do it to a nice looking car??

This is how dumb i am. For the first few posts i was thinking about the vinyl records (yeah before tapes and CD's) and it was like where the f*ck are you going to stick them on a car.

Its funny how my old car has gotten more comments with the new owner than with me, oh well, any way....SAY NO TO BLING

I agree some of the points people made about sticker & vinal, but it's your car, so if you want to do it, just do it, why do you have to care what they think? By the way, they said the sticker or graphic can get too much attention, why they put bodykit on their car or why they modify their car? That also get attention from people. I believe most people want to get attention for their car, but just how much you want it, so if you're going to do it, just perpare you'll get more attention from people and police. I think sticker & vinal can make your car stand out, but you've to be very careful what you're putting on there, because you don't want to stick something on your car and then you think it look shit. Anyway, think twice before you do it, that's my suggestion. :laugh:

V I N Y L .... ITS VINYL ALREADY... NOT VINAL for all you bastards who cant spell! End rant.

Back on topic... If it is done tastefully it can give your car that individual look without screaming RICE too much, but it is so easy to get it sooo wrong!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
