Thought I'd see what all this Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap was all about so picked myself up some and started to play around with it.

Surprised how easy it is to work with and heating it up makes it so much easier to curve it around the edges and all.

That....is....awesome.

Yeah once I get hold of a gtr wing i'll be getting the blade done for sure!

Also, what sort of job could you do on the lower front lip on a R33 GTR? Mine's sagging in the middle so got to get some aluminium bolted to the inside for strengthening then thinking either the black vinyl or cf.

Any one have any advice on the quality of the cabon below, just bought a flush mount boot for the 33 and im thinking doing a carbon wrap will be cheaper and easier than painting, i know that every seems to use 3M but i cant find any big enough (1x1.4m min) but have found these 2.

This one is a dry black.

This shows a wet black in some photos and dry in others, do you have to use other products to make it look wet, undecided on the wet or dry look but leaning towards dry.

Any one use this brand and able to comment on quality?

Hey dude,

The first link looks to me to be some cheap Taiwan stuff (which I have some as well) xD

And the 2nd link looks to be just some flat printed sticker.

With vinyl, you get what you pay for.... I've tried the cheap Taiwan version and not that great compare to the 3M one.

I've got both at home, so if you want some (1m x 1.4m), I can hook you up :P

Give me a price to supply and fit to an R33 flush mount boot which is off the car.

not sure if i missed it but where can i buy this vinyl for a good price?

is this a decent deal?

For full width the postage isn't cheap if packaged well, just rolled over a tube isnt as good as placed in a tube.

Images below are some of my more strange things I have wrapped lately.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
