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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
