Awesome! Glad you like it :D

That rear bar looks good man! My only issue would be being so close to the exhaust? It gets pretty fkn hot in that area when driven in anger!

So far so good, been driving in the 36degree heat :)

I think the vinyl will be fine there, as it can stand up to 200degree heat from my heat gun :cool:

But I'll keep you guys posted regarding the exhaust heat.

I'm tackling some R33 mirrors at the moment and will post up pics when finished :P

nice work you have inspired me to try wrapping some stuff on my car now i love diy :D

got any tips for other wrappers?

just bought some and looking to do the end caps of my gtr wing and mayb the wing blade down the track i see how i go!

is the heat gun necessary or would a hair dryer be sufficient?

Hehe thanks :)

As for tips.... Just be very patient with it because if you don't get it right the first time, you can always peel it off and try again. Also try not to stretch it too much, or else under when heated, it will shrink back to original size.

You can use heat gun or hair dryer, both does the same job. I started off using a hair dryer, but it only had 3 speeds and 3 heat settings, so I moved onto a Bosch heat with LCD display of the temp. Which I thought was much better, as I know how hot to have it for certain curves :)

lastly, remember to not over heat it, I think maximum is 250 degrees, after that, the pattern will just melt on the vinyl and become like matte black lol.

have you seen the neffy wrap vinyl? i heard its better

website is http://neffywrap.com.au or the oz distributor

theres pics on ozhonda for it, he actually compared the 3m vs the neffy previously as the neffy product isnt self adhesive so applying it is very easy

sample photos he has

Yup, of course I've heard of it.

In fact... IMO, neffy is not better.

Yes, neffy is like 1/3 of the cost of the 3m vinyl.

BUT, neffy does not have adhesive backing, therefore, additional adhesive is required, that means, when applying, to repeel and re-use the same bit of material will become a problem. Not only that, after being applied, if you want to peel it off, that might become a problem as adhesive was used to secure it. Where as with the 3m vinyl, it's got self adhesive backing, you can peel off and re-use it as many times as you like (well pretty much), if it gets all creased, use a heat gun and boom! it returns to how it was before you even started. Or if it starts to lose the stickiness due to dust or oil, you can just wash it off with soapy water and it will stick again. Also the 3m self adhesive is easily reversible, just heat it up a little bit with a heat gun and off it peels.

Apart from that, the 3m vinyl has a gurranteed 4 years lifespan outdoor with UV protection and 12 years indoor, while the neffy does not offer UV protection and its not recommended for outdoor usage. And as much as you say you use it for interior (indoor), there will always be sun (UV) shinning in from your windows.

God damn it, when are we gonna see some r33 interior shots with this stuff?

Oh, that reminds me to upload some pics of the R33 interior that I did last week haha!

Give me a few mins :D

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
