That looks really good. Is there no joins between sheets of vinyl (were you able to do a whole panel with just one sheet of vinyl)?

I thought with this idea there would be visible joins but I have to say it looks really good

well done mate looks really good i recon.

must be fun having just changed the entire look of your car over a couple of weeks!

Cheers, It really is, that said, there have been many moments where i spat the dummy and considered ripping it all of when it wasn't going the way i wanted it to... :)

Thanks :banana:

There are joins in the vinyl, thankfully they aren't very visible due to the color of the vinyl and the positions that i've placed them in

Thanks Lyndon, Thats the plan,

As far as exterior mods go its

-z-tune style side skirts and rear pods

-top secret gtr style front bar with lip

-nismo smoked front and side indicators

-Gloss or Matt black rims (Rota GTR's possibly, unless something comes up at a good price)

remaining panels to wrap

-finalize front bar

-wrap rear bar

-wrap bootlid after its welded and painted

-re-wrap drivers tail light

Wow! When i saw the thread title i was thinking uughh should i bother posting? As id assumed you were spraying it. haha. Not many people realize that matt black breaks down in about 6 months in the sun and needs another few coats! LOL.

But this! It looks fantastic! Always thought the Matt finish looked pretty swish, but too many try hard gangstas with spray cans killed the effect. Well done. Its looking great.

Out of curiosity.. does it have any detrimental effects to the paint underneath should you decide to tear it off one day?

My old daily hack...

Only kept it Matt as its how it was when i bought it. Looked mint when i 1st sprayed it again, but this is about 5 months later. Goes all blotchy and poop.

Congrats. Your car now looks like it's worth $5k and is just a beater :)

Quite a naive comment i don't think you see the potential it has with the right JDM rims and a bodykit it will look great! there are very few R34's in matte black so it will be unique most likely putting up the value of the car.

Lol. thanks dude, i've seen a few vans in matte black, usually young dudes getting around in them heh.

If you paint is in good condition it shouldn't cause you any problems, nothing more than a nice clay bar or cut and polish cant keep looking gorgeous.

On the other hand, if you paint is farked, expect to rip some of it up as you pull off the vinyl.

Congrats. Your car now looks like it's worth $5k and is just a beater :P

:) thats ok, im happy with it

yeah so does this sack of crap :ermm:

Never realised this thread existed, only saw one pic u had in the 34's thread. And i didn't realise u wrapped it in vinyl!!!!! thats crazy man! haha but i think it looks mean as. Funny tho at one stage i had the exact kit that u want to put on sitting in my garage doing nothing. But i sold it, just changed my mind and went for somethin more simple. I cant wait to see it all done complete with wheels etc. Even without the kit on and just a good suspension setup with wheels would do it for me.

Smoked indicators will suit much better than clear now that i think about it. Well done dude from photos it looks flawless, probably easier to see dents it seems, but i couldn't see any from pics!

Personally i would strip the weather shields off they look much more noticeable now. Wicked man ;)

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      No updates on the car but figured I'd share a nice outing. All the recent work paid off and I got it all together and out the shed for a car based pre-wedding celebration for a good mate of mine. Pretty casual cruise through the hills to a pub for lunch then out for some go-karting at The Bend. Headed down to Myponga for the night We stopped in at the reservoir before heading out down to the coast for lunch via the dam  By the end of the weekend away I covered 350km and the 32 generally behaved its self. A good Shake down after being apart before the Track day in a few weeks

      Prop Shaft rebuilding Melbourne.

      By SteveL · Posted

      The front prop shaft from my GTR had very notchy unis, which obviously needed replacement but unfortunately uses the (usually) non-replaceable (staked) type.     A new shaft is something like $2K plus shipping from Japan.   I wouldn't even bother asking the local Nissan spares dept.     Rang Hardy Spicer but no go, which surprised me a little.     There's a place over Dandenong way that would make me a 'performance' shaft but un-necessary in my situation.   They claimed to be getting the equipment in to replace staked unis but couldn't give me a timeframe.   Anyway, long story short, found a place to do the work just 5 mins from me: https://knoxdriveshafts.com.au $420 (cash) and about a week later I have my driveshaft back.   Price includes balancing. Owner is a one man band working out of a shed in his backyard but from what I could see he's very well setup with some expensive equipment.

      Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator

      By blind_elk · Posted

      Thanks. That's what I was after. One of the kits, the o-ring side is too big diameter. The other kit is a plate with a o-ring to seal and the hose connection offset.

      Replacing Fuel Pressure Regulator

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Are you using the factory rail?  Is there any reason you don't want to use one of the two you already have, they don't have to attach to the fuel rail directly.  If you 100% must have a FPR that directly bolts to the fuel rail, you could get a Radium setup. I use a radium fuel rail and the direct mount regulator, it is quite a sexy setup.
