Ok guys im putting it out there to the community too, im thinking of wrapping my car in matte black......myself.

Why?:

-I have a thing for matte black.

-Im sure it might be the first one in Aus.

-Me actually thinks it would look good on a V35.

-SURPRISINGLY the cost is not as outrageous as i thought it would be, thus the risk.

-Oh and i have a bit of experience putting vinyls on roofs of different cars, inc. mine.

-You can always peel it off, after a claybar and a wash its good as new.....yes i am using a good quality vinyl.

What i want to know is what you guys think, do you have any advice, any past experiences, tips etc? Do you think the driver of a matte black V35 would look like a complete douche bag?? (what im most afraid of).

Btw, if you have seen my car....err not much done to it appart from a drop, if i did get the wrap i would atleast get my rims sprayed matte black aswel......oh and cost wise? your looking around the $350 mark with LOTS of haggling from already made connections in the industry.

Hey mate,

no personal experience but came across this thread over at E90 of a guy doing a nice DIY wrap of his BMW 330i:

Given your experience and the price point I'd say go for it - should look awesome!!

matte black will only look good if you have US guys G35 spec fitment and stance. most guys in oz seem to have their nuts tightly locked away in their purses when it comes to these two qualities, so unless you're willing to break with the norm, just make yours look somewhat tasteful and leave it at that. Otherwise you'll be rocking a colour fad from two years ago on fail fitment and stance, and you'll just be someone who hasn't quite got it right.

Get the wheels, stance and fitment right, and rock matte black, and no one will dare to criticise your choice in colour, even if it isn't to their taste. In this day and age when tonnes of guys have done it better, even if they are in a different country, if you don't get the package completely right, someone will shoot you down for not measuring up.

Amen on that!....i totally agree, its just that the price of this mod is MUCH lower then modding the car to achive the agressive stance (Wheels, low ofset, tyre strech). I was just thinking of putting some hubcentric spacers on mine :D . Maybe the difference between modding and tasteful modding is sequence.

lol thats what really made an idea in the back of my head come to the front as a real possibility. Lots of discussion going on in the BMW thread about the quality of vinyl to be used.

lol to me silver was what i wanted, but truly you cannot compare matte black to our v35s OB. Two totally different textures and surfaces. Hmm as for the bonnet and boot, i am an avid hater of the "my black hood will make it look like carbon fibre" look. Logically i understand where you guys are comming from and thank you for that, but its all or nothing with me.

It would look fat!!! do it!!!! Only reason why i haven't already done it is because i don't have the patients to do something like that. But you have to have some mean offset wheels otherwise it would look gay.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
