WHAT?!?!?

You gotta be kidding me right?

We used the same shit at my old work (different brand but looks 100% the same as the stuff im seeing in these pics) to do a bunch of cars, can get it in all different colours, black, silver, blue, red, yellow etc. We bought a few rolls of all different colours (a roll was like 30m) and ended up doing a few cars sub boxes, door inserts (including my own) and for 3 rolls of the stuff i dont remember us paying anywhere near that!

F**k paying that much for vinyl, my god.

Like you said, "different brand", so that's the difference in price.

With the 3M vinyl, it's NOT all about the looks and appearance of it, it's also about the technology they used in the vinyl to ensure that there's no air bubbles.

On the sticky side of the vinyl, theres a grid pattern that's been cut/scored, so if theres air bubbles, you can just push the air through the cut grid and out to the edges.

Unique Comply™ Technology 3M DI-NOC™ Film uses an adhesive system with grid-like channels on the adhesive surface, allowing air to escape during application. Air bubbles trapped between the material and the film can escape along these tracks, making applications to a large and complicated surface easier and ensuring a perfect finish.

nice man,

i haven't been one for the clear coat side of things, but i have a feeling that the exterior work would look nicer with a clear coat on it, i dont know why, but just a thought, either way nice job

If only you were in QLD :D

Id love to get the wing stands and pillars done.

Loving the stands on Ashneel's 34

If you don't mind the hassle, you can send them down to me and I'll wrap it and post it back to you for $60+postage back to you :(

But with pillars, I'm sure you can wrap it yourself, I could send you down 2 strips that's enough to wrap both pillars for $40 :banana:

Damn, you're doing all the bits I've been wanting / pining on doing since i saw them on Import Monster ..

I really need to talk to you about getting like a roll or enough to do all my interior bits, sedan b-pillars (twice as much as coupes), etc.

I've just about given up trying to get it through the distributors themselves...

i hate you so bad charles lol, im gonna have to suck it up and just buy some already haha, i have no doubt that everything you cover will be what i wantd to do as well

Hahahaha! Do you wanna give me your postal address? So I can send you a little sample to tease you even more? :blink:

And I'm being serious too lol, I've got a few little off cuts :down:

    • 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.
