hi

i was woundring is it legal to foil a car instead of painting it ?

it would cost lots of money to foil but its better than painting the car

cuz i like the original color of the car to stay as it is

so if it legal were can i foil my car ?

Foilacar is a German company that opened a branch in Dubai. They specialize in things like windows tinting, car protection, color changing foil, and car design foil. www.foilacar.com it's actually pretty cool to be able to change your car color and protect the original color with their foil! here are some pictures of how they do it.

The car gets in the shop like this..

The foil is applied to it.. again like this..

And with it being legal or not, I suppose you couldn't really tell if its foiled or just a respray I assume?

I guess this is kind of similar to what the Autosalon S15 DA car was like. Instead of painting it mirror chrome and risking the cost of having it painted after every round, they had a fullbody vinyl stuck on the car.

i wanted to do it cuz i use to do it back in dubai

but i called one of the shops back in dubai to order some colors or i dont know what they call them

but when ill get ill let u know

i think ill do my car in chrome i dont know if its legal or no

sorry i dont know the rules cuz im from dubai and i dont know OZ rules

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
