Looks great. Does anyone in Australia/Sydney do this, is it exxy and does it wreck the underlying paint?

Hey,

check out shawfirearts in kirrawee to wrap cars in whatever you like. http://www.shawfire.com.au/

and if you want to check out his work on cars and your at superlap i think the pulse evo will be wrapped in carbon look vinyl.

Vinyl/Carbon Wrapping is still relatively new. for a medium sized car expect at least $5,000 labour + materials. wrapping a spoiler will even cost you $500. imagine the work needed for a whole car.

It's $3500 for an R35 GTR, material and labour.

Mike, off the GT-R topic, but I'm driving/co-driving the Jag XK-R you guys wrapped, this weekend in Targa Classic Adelaide. Awesome job you've done on it!

Hi Rexdan I was in Gouger Street on the Friday Night with me nephew...The Jag in satin Black was a huge draw card, Lots of people snapping including me...Spotted it coming down the Freeway towards Adelaide on Saturday about 10.45 driven by pretty woman... :whistling:

I don't get the logic behind carbon vinyl wraps

Are you supposed to be fooling people into believing your car is carbon like an exotic veyron or zonda

thats what i thought. the only time i'd personally go for it is if its parts that cant actually be removed and replaced by real carbon. ie, the Rocky Auto S30 where all parts have been removed and replaced with carbon parts except the rear-quarters and roof which is wrapped only to match the other carbon parts.

Very true.

I like the vinyl wraps as they can look good but just not wrap it in 'Carbon Fiber'.

How do vinyl wraps hold up on the race track? Do they get minced up as soon as any stones or gravel hit it?

Vinyl is more resilient than paint. Stone chips that scuff the vinyl will most definitely chip paint (in the case where a car is not wrapped).

To put it in perspective, the resilience of most wrapping vinyls is like duct tape, which is quite strong.

Matte black vinyl wrap is used extensively in racing...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
