Ok, so after spending about $100 double sided tape, I'd like to ask... has anyone tried to stick the Apexi stands ontop of the triple cluster on an R34 GT-T and got it to REALLY stick?

I'm not going to glue the buggers down, so any help with brands/types of tape most appreciated!

3M outdoor tape, the type to use to stick things to brickwork. As well as cleaning the surface to be stuck to with some isopropyl alcohol prior to application. Not to an r34, but I had the devils own trying to stick to my r32 and my03 dashes.

Make sure you clean the surface of the dash first... then, go to Coles and buy some goo strips... they're clear gooey blubs of disposable sticky stuff... not super glue so can be easily removed without scratch your dash but strong enough to hold your stand.

I got frustrated too, until I discovered this... I think it's made by 3M too.

Good luck.

I got some 3M tape from Bunnings, cleaned both dash surface and stand surface with some decent spray and wipe then just stuck it on, held fine with no issues for a year until I ripped it off. Make sure you clean both surfaces because that makes all the difference

Thing that really rocks my world is that fact that it sticks to the metal holders fine, just not to the cluster.

Hmmm, ok, I'll see what else I can do. Does anybody know what to clean it with and where to buy the stuff?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
