Not sure if this is the right section to post it, but I'm just wondering if anyone in Victoria is interested in having their B-pillars wrapped in 3m Carbon Fibre Vinyl?

The 3M Carbon Fibre Vinyl has an outdoor life of 4-5 years with sun and shine. You can even feel the weave on the vinyl!

I'd be doing the wrapping myself. I've done it for Ashneel and SS8_Gohan already and they both seem happy with it.

I was thinking if there's enough people, I can do it for $30 per pair :banana:

Looks fantastic.

I had the Nismo garnish's on mine, but I have to admit that these a very schmick!

I was just about to spend like $130 on a pair of nismo ones, but after seeing them in real life, it honestly isn't impress me. IMO, the vinyl looks a lot better than nismo :)

I'd definitely be in, even if there is no group buy i'd pay you to do it

Well I'll see if there's gonna be more people interested, but if not, you can just drop by whenever and I'll do it for you :( doesn't take long at all.

If you are buying a bulk order of this wrap I'll buy some off you, as it is not cost effective to ship a small amount over. I'll do the wrapping myself as I just have a few interior trim pieces I want to do (and the B pillars too, but mine are much smaller than Skyline ones :banana: ).

Alright no worries, at this point in time, I'm looking to buy a 1.2m x 10m roll in a couple of weeks :)

Also, I've also started to wrap my mate's Liberty and it looks awesome :P

carbon bonnet Charles ! test ya skills !

very shortly you car will look like a honda yo ! :banana:

Then I can be one of those fully sick honda boys waiting for their vtec to kick in y0!

But nah, on the serious note, I thought about wrapping my bonnet, but I don't want to attract too much attention from the popos, as my car already stands out like dog balls, don't wanna add to it lol.

how much would it cost us for the materials, plus can u do the inside interior with that too?

hmm what you mean for materials? For your b pillars?

And yes I can do interior, click on the link on my signature to see everything that I did for my car.

Did the whole centre console and door handles and mirror etc.

Looks good Charles. Just wondering if you have any info about what to do when the vinyl starts expiring. Does it peel off or just fade? Is it easy to remove to replace a new layer? Or would you just wrap another layer onto the old one?

Well 3M stated that the vinyl can last about 4-5 years when it's outdoor (exterior) and about 12 years indoor (interior). So when it reaches its lifespan, it will just start to fade.

So then you can just use a heat gun to peel it off, then apply it again :D As the vinyl comes with an adhesive backing, it may leave a little bit of glue residue, but it can be polished off easily.

Removing the vinyl is easy, as I've done it so many times already, because I keep doing my interior parts until I get it perfect :thumbsup:

i want that knee pad!

Lol, get your own pad :cool:

I'm interested in this Charles. Perhaps I can come on the weekend and get them done?

Yeah no worries man, you can just come drop your parts off and pick it up a few days later, you can also have a look at what I've done for my car :P

If you want to come on the weekend, gimme a call on 0434 502 855 before you come.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
