looking good mate!

they're actually grenade GX01 rims, not R34 GTR as stated on the last page :D

ah, useful bit of info that one, thanks for that, (i did say replica though :))

The car looks great !! I love what u did with the interior , how hard is the interior to do ? I wouldn't mind trying tha my self ??

Thanks dude, Sadly i have since removed it all since it started to peel up when the interior got hot (im 90% sure its because of the paint on the trim i applied it to) I am now contemplating 1 of 3 options.

1. Coating the trim in Clear a few times and then hitting it with the cf vinyl again in the hopes that the clear will provide a better base to adhere to

2. Stripping it back and re-spraying it in VHT Black Crinkle paint

3. Saving up and replacing the interior piece by piece with real Carbon pieces from Superior Auto Creative

Again, it looks really good, Stephen. Great work. :thumbsup:

Thanks Victor,

Been set back a touch with doing the retrim on the doors, need to figure out a good way to remove all of the old foam that was under the material, that stuff is stuck on so damn well, metho cleans, but doesnt remove the foam as such.

I'v decided to do this to a side project. how do you join 2 peices properly?

some area's have taken a long time and many re-tries such as mirrors.

I'v stopped caring about little creases and once completely covered will redo them maybe.

my thumbs hurt..

what do you guys charge per hour to do it professionally, I'm not in brisbane though just curious.

Ok guys, bit of an update here,

Finally solved my problem with the foam on the door skins, the best solution was to take the skin off the door, and lay it flat, then with a scuffing pad scrub the crap out of it until the foam eventually all came off (forgot to get pics of it at that stage)

after that, a blade around the edge took off any of the excess bits in the recess.

Also, before i attacked the foam i figure, whilst the door skin is off i might as well wrap the window controls and also the triangles in the corners of the door where most people mount a tweeter.

TRIANGLE

This is what the drivers door looks like at the moment, with all of the excess foam all over it, Horrible! (will attack this door tonight)

Then, these (and a scuffing pad that i forgot to include in the pic)

Added together =

And all back together retrimmed skin with carbon-ized window trims and triangles

Stay Tuned!

So putting a little attention towards the interior, :)

Also worth noting, the bootlid has been re-glassed, as long as it doesnt crack or have any issues in the next few days, itll be getting primed and paint hopefully during the week, and then wrapped maybe around sunday *fingers crossed*

These guys do most interior parts in carbon for R34's, a little experimenting will get you to the right section for the parts.

That said, those pics you quoted are what i wrapped in carbon look vinyl, so they aren't real carbon.

Little side project while i haven't been working on the 34

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
