Hey all,

I have a light up panel in my r32 ready to go on. I need something to stick on with, but I'm not sure what to use. It has to stick well so that it will stay on obviously, be durable and waterproof, but it HAS to be able to come off relatively easily in case I need to repair or sell the panel, and it needs to come off without damaging the paint on the rear bar?

Any suggestions? I was thinking silicon maybe, but I honestly have no idea...

3M automotive double-sided tape.

As used by Ford and other automotive manufacturers and panel shops, to stick body kit etc. to cars.

I have a mate what stuck my old boot lip to his car using just this tape and it shows no sign of coming off.

I bought a role to fix my rear pods, but have almost finished it on other people's cars :D. I am due to buy a new role, so if you want, we can go halves, i'll help you fit the facia and keep the remaining tape, it's only about $15 if i remember right.

can you just get it at supercheap?

the double-sided i got with my boost gauge is useless - would this stuff be overkill??

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.

      Ever seen a sock on a PS reservoir in a Jap video and wondered why?

      Does anyone have issues with their reservoir bottle leaking?? Mine I swear is always leaking from the cap, I realised there is no gasket, are they supposed to have one?
