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

    • 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?
