i would love to get my rb26 engine covers done. that would look tuff !

how would it go on engine parts?

I'm really not sure, as I haven't done anything for a engine bay. But I was so close to buying a spare NEO cover and shaving it and wrap it lol, but ended up couldn't be bothered with it :)

Looks really nice Charles, Just spend 30 minutes reading this whole thread!.

Once I finally get my 32 GTR I will have to buy some Vynil & tips off you.

Postage to W.A? would you charge more?

has anyone put some clear over the top to make it look more real .....it should work

Well.... This vinyl has a DRY carbon fibre look, not a WET look, and it's not meant to be clear coated to make it look like WET carbon fibre.

Putting clear coat on the vinyl will fill out all the embossed carbon fibre pattern, which will make it look more like gloss black without the pattern and the reflections of the pattern will reflect less and only in certain angles.

Nice work DRIFTT, did you encounter any cars that's got a bonnet that's longer than 1.2m?

The IS200 bonnet is actually two pieces of material with a join down the centre, it is hard to see but it is there.

Not a VN/VP, either VR/VS. I'd guess VR Exec. Still a fantastic job.

Yeah it is a mates VR Exec, looks a lot better in the car especially since he also put white face dials in so got to get some more photos.

It wasn't easy but bonnet was on the car, what is the cheap stuff and who is selling it over here.

a guy called flashX its in the for sale car parts and accesories sections, page 3 i think atm.

he reckons it the only difference is that the 3m is 0.18 and the othe is 0.16 or the other way around, and its only $60 bucks a metre, heres the link

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
