I just got some 3M carbon fibre vinyl wraps from USA (you can actually feel the weaves), so I decided to have a go wraping my door pillars.

I'm going to wrap some of my interior (dash surrounds, plastics on doors) and maybe exterior (spoiler stands).

If anyone needs things wrapped, I could supply and wrap it at a cost :P

Here's some pics:

Looks excellent! Great work! :happy:

How easy is it to take off the door pillars? Do they just pull off or are they bolted from behind or something?

Cheers. :P

If you haven't taken off before, it might take a bit more force, but pretty much just open your door, then start from the bottom, start to pull it back slowly.

You should hear 3 clicks, because of 3 plastic bolts thingys, after that, just wiggle it left to right, then it should come out :)

hey just a quick question,

is its ver durable? and can it stand heat sun damage? and water damage?

cause i was thinking of buying somw this stuff

BTW it looks very good i wanna do this to my liner

This is one of the best vinyl wrap in the market at the moment, it's made for indoor and outdoor. indoor it should last forever while outdoor maybe 8-9years of sun and rain.

oh wow that stuff looks awesome, got a price on it?

Price for this can vary, range from $80-110 for 1.2m by 0.6m. It is very expensive but its worth it.

I got a day off today, so I decided to do more of my car, and I picked the cup holder lid.

As soon as I finished, I feel addicted to doing more LOL, I'm planning to do my whole centre console, climate control and my triple guage cover :down:

If anyone wants it done in Vic, I'm willing to do a piece for $20-40 (depends on size of part).

oh god, wets pants...

im going to hit up our vinyl suppliers at work, i know someone who stocks this, hopefully i can get it cheaper cos as you said it is pretty expensive, do you have a heat gun?

btw if this is the 3M DI-NOC stuff, i've found that it is rated at 3-4 years ourdoor and 12 years indoor

Yeah I have a heat gun and it is the DI NOC stuff, but last time I read about it was like 8-9 years outdoor.

Heres a spec sheet for ya dude,

http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediawebserve...s6EVs6E666666--

4 years outdoors, 3 years in desert conditions, and 12 years indoors, all by US standards of course

oh no doubt, looks awesome, im definatly gonna look into getting some

Yeah, the finish looks better in real life than in photos, I'm planning to get more lol, kinda addicted to wrapping things :thumbsup:

haha nice, i can see why,

If i could afford it, i would probably to the door skins, then again, that might be over kill, maybe just rip off the door card material and do those, as well as the whole centre console/triple gauge

    • 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?
