haha yer too lazy to get a stanley knife i got pharyngitis and was like so bored at home decided to give it a go!

thanks for the advice jus hav to decide on what to do next :D

Haha, a few more pieces later, you wouldn't even need to decide on what to do, you'll just wrap without realising it hahaha.

Just had some interior bits done on my 34 by Charles. Thanks mate. Top effrot! :D

Cheers pal, glad you are happy with it :(

Im curious to know if anyone has tried clear coating any of the parts they have covered with the vinyl yet? just interested to know what it would look like

Yea mate, clear coating the vinyl is not a very good idea.....

Yes it does protect the vinyl, but because the vinyl has been embossed to create the CF pattern, clear coating it will fill all the indentations, which makes the vinyl look like gloss black and the shiny CF effect would be reduced.

Let me know when you're confident in doing the tripple gauge holder so I can get you to do my stock one. I'll also get you to do the shifter/head unit surround once I get a stock one in my hands.

All sweet dude, I'll keep you updated when I re-attempt my triple gauge cover :D

As for the other parts, just lemme know when.

yreah charles did.. its a couple of pages back..

Must have missed it, i went back but didnt see any pics, are there any pics uploaded?

If anyone on here wants it done properly i have a contact who does professional 100% carbon fiber laminating on oem parts. quality is seccond to none. it is costly but you cannot really put a price on what the finished product looks like, and unlike the shitty copy products off ebay and the shit most stores sell all straight from china it fits just the same as it did before.

if anyone is deadly serious and wants it done, send me some detailed pics and description what you want. can be up to 200-300 for a larger part, and less for smaller parts, but the more pieces i get sent the cheaper it can be. (this price will include shipping back to your door.)

any questions pm me please only ask if you are serious about getting the work done

Ok now this is getting interesting! So judging by the pics, that is putting a real carbon fibre coating on products? Any way you can share the business name rather than dealing through you? (no disrespect to you, but i'm sure we would like to know who we are dealing with)

That looks suspiciously like the work of Mad Coatings.

From what I've seen in person, they're damn expensive but looks amazingly good.

That doesn't look like mad coatings work. Those above pics look like proper carbon fibre. The above process appears to be what these guys do.

Here is my nights work with the vent being a fun job, from what I have seen the cheap stuff is cheaper for a reason. I do use sign writing vinyl every day and I have an electronic heat gun with 10 degrees increments so it is a tad easier for me.

Had to do the badges for the hell of it to the extent of each tips weave running a different way.

Last year i actually started my own importing business doing High quality Bokykits and carbon fiber parts. not just cheap copies but all of my moulds are made straight off of genuine parts, giving the best acuuracy, fittment and quality to every fiberglass or carbon product which is made. 90% of my parts are pre drilled and only the highest grade materials are used to keep strength and eliminate distortion of the part. It took a long time to source my supplier and to verify the high quality of the parts and moulds they make for me(by trial fitting the raw products) Part of my business is I actually take orders and sublet the (carbon fiber laminating)work to my supplier. i have only just started this business and have not even left my other job yet because i cant find a decent workshop yet and my webpage is only just being started next month. So i cannot give the name of the company because they do not do single orders as they have a min order quantity. As i said if anyone has a genuine interest in getting only the BEST quality work around, pm me. thankyou.

    • 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?
