Yeah sorry i can't pm you but im not too confident in using primer nor wrapping my own dash but thought i'd give it a go. I'd be interested in paying someone to wrap my dash but charles is in melb and you are in perth lol

Unless I have one at mates workshop best bet is Charles, you can get around with out certain parts fitted.

This vinyl will go soft when heated, so you can work it around corners and stuff.

Hi mate,

Can you send me a sms on 0434 502 855 and I'll reply with a quote. Cheers :(

Well you know you have hit the big time when you have the "Special" drink coasters, second picture is actually all different types of DI-NOC, got about 10 different finishes along with the carbon ones.

I made quite a few up as samples with Carbon on one side and Wood Grain on the other but once my mates saw them well the stack became very small.

Would it be ok to use this stuff on a whole boot? I wana remove the wing from my sedan, i have a origin lip spoiloer for it, be cheaper to coat both in this then get the boot resprayed. I wanted to go a CF boot for it but there hard to find.

How much in material would it cost to do both?

Thanks,

Here's a set of R34 wipers (front + back)

Hahaha Charles... may I suggest you get some help for your obsession... :P

Just kiddin', they look great! I've been planning to just re-paint my wiper arms for a while now... perhaps I'll get you to wrap them instead so that they match the dash :(

Hey hey.... They aren't for my car lol :ermm:

It's for a R34 GTR :O

But yes, feel free to give me a call to discuss about your wipers hehehe

I just repainted mine, should have had them wrapped!! Looks awesome, as always mate.

You still can ;)

thumbs up! more quality work!

Thanks for the kind comments guys :(

Comments like that is what keeps me wanting to wrap more (not just for myself, but others lol) :)

If interested I might have an R34 boot that I am wrapping for a mate who is doing them on exchange or out right basis, I know there is R32, R33, S13 and S14 boots with a chance of an R34. Also got complete dash for S13, S14, S15, R32 and R33, interiors for R32, R33, S13, S14 and again some R34 parts, series 1 and 2 R33 wings with more bits slowly being sorted.

Decided to do this way because of time to cure and ensure no defects as it isn't a 5 minute job also means cars aren't out of action, for the boots he will lend one while I wrap the customers one as well.

Doing same deal for a Holden workshop, buying complete new trim and selling out right, I know the hassle Charles had in the past and I don't want to go there.

It does sound good and efficient, but there are people out there that are unwilling to pay for a brand new part lol and they can't be bothered selling their old part xD

But all in all, it's a good method to handle it. I don't do it nor thought about doing it because I'm only doing it as a hobby lol, not gonna invest loads of money into it :bunny:

And +1 for not being a 5min job. A lot of the jobs that I do, takes about a week, due to the process I go through to ensure everything is perfect.

Yeah i mite be interested eh, i dont mind losing the boot for a while as the car isnt my daily, its more a case of im in Bunbury and your in perth. So im sure we could work something out.

Might be keen on some interior bits to!

I can see this ending expensively...

If we time it right since coming from Bunbury you can bring the boot up in a different car and we should be able to turn it around in a couple of hours, don't want you driving with it as material needs to set.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
