Hey Cheif, i love your work and i've managed to get my hands on a couple meters of the wrap, unfortunatley being abit too eager i've taken off the rear-view mirror and cant seem to put it back in place.

any tips or advice on how you can clip it back on? driving without it is quite entertaining :blink:

Did you actually unscrew the screw inside the mirror?...

Because I've actually done that and I've realise you can't screw it back on unless you take the actual mirror off.... Thereforee... That mirror is stuffed...

I had to buy a new one...

Because what you need to do is... Undo the cover that's on the mirror arm, and you should see 3 screws? Undo those and just wrap the mirror with the arm on..

yeah I accidentally managed to unscrew that screw, ending up buying a new one and wrapping the cover.

I've managed to get my hands on the cluster bezel in the dash - wrapped that which i'll try and upload a photo soon (still getting the hang of wrapping around edges/corners) Purchased some blue leds from 666dan. also having a series 2 I thought i'd try remove the orange illumination film on the back of the gauges, not so good of an idea - fuel gauge/speedo are misreading. didnt end up removing the film either so i've got to learn to keep my hands away from fragile objects lol. pinch.gif

It's been a long time since I've been here lol, finally finished uni :D

For anyone that wants stuff wrapped, I'm still doing it, only just picked up a new 30m roll of the vinyl :)

I bought a roll not too long ago,I've been on a wrapping spree since.It just feels so satisfying wrapping anything and everything in the stuff haha.Now I got to get around to doing some car parts.

Hey

Here's some pic's of the stuff I have wrapped in my R34 with the help of charles sorry for the bad pic's guys..

Hey guys,

ive been meaning to reply back for a few months now. just never had the time :rofl2:

ive noticed with the heat coming through now that summer is around the corner the glue from the vinyl has loosened and is slowly peeling back off (top strip above the A/C unit and around the gauges in the dash bezel.

any ideas on how to keep them down?

Greatly appreciated :)

If it's peeling up then either you didn't heat it enough and apply enough pressure when applying the vinyl, or the surface you have applied it to is not suitable for a wrap,

When wrapping with this kind of material, you should be heating it to conform to the shapes, then once you are happy with it, it needs to be post heated to between 60-90C.

If you haven't wrapped it correctly or the material surface is too rough, you will definitely see it here as it will lift or bubble where air remaines trapped or where you have stretched the material too much. (if you stretch the material too much you also spread out the adhesive on the backing leaving less adhesive per cm2, hence less stick)

    • 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?
