Hey guys,

I am very much a newb btw.

Ive got a r34 gt sedan with the carbon fibre sticker wearing off on the (wat i think is called) the B Pillars. Photo attached.

Ive bought a carbon fibre sticker wrap off ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.com.au/CF-R34-Skyline-GTR-...#ht_9392wt_917). Is this going to be the right thing for me to use to fix it up?

I am unsure as to how to go about sticking this on. Do i remove the Pillar to stick it on?, or do i just remove the seals around it and stick in on while it is still attached to the car.

Any advice would be much appreciated for this newbie.

Cheers

Yeah I have di noc at home as well and it can be a bit tricky first time if ur not use to it and as u ate only buying a small amount u really can't afford stuffing it and I am pretty sure there are no nismo pillar garnishes for 4 doors but to answer it initial question yes u do need to remove the pillars to wrap them. I'm not sure if they just pop of like the 2 door ones and if ur in Sydney and u want I can do them for you for 40 which includes di noc and fitting if ur in Melbourne speak to charles86 i think is his nick on sau who is the guy who originally bought this stuff to sau if u need his contact pm me if u plan on doing it yourself and need some pointers don't hesitate to ask

JustJap sell Nismo Carbon pillar garnish's for $260

and if you are in Bris, i can do it for ya!

Its not that hard, simply clean the surface and lay the vinyl straight onto it, you shouldn't end up with any air bubbles as the vinyl has an air release system in the form of a honeycomb of channels on the sticky side of the vinyl.

- Simply lay the vinyl over the top and smooth down with a squeegee or bank card wrapped in a thin towel or cloth (so you dont scratch the vinyl with the plastic)

- Wrap the edges of the vinyl under the B-pillar and smooth down also, and then just trim off the excess behind the pillar piece.

(make sure you cleaned the back of the pillar piece as well as the vinyl will just get dirty and lose its tack if you don't)

Hey just wondering, is there anyone in Adelaide willing to do this(Carbon fibre vinyl) for a 4 door for all the four pillars(Front/Back door each side)? Preferably someone who has done it before, If so how much?

Thanks

we have plenty of black carbon fibre and i recently did my mates pillars on his chaser! looks the biz!

so if anyones keen?

PEACE

First of all, the vinyl you bought, is for a coupe? Since there's only 2 strips?

But it is the right stuff, 3M DI-NOC CA-421. You just need more of it, to wrap all 6 pillars.

As for doing the pillars, they are NOT like the coupe pillars, they do not come off... So you'd have to do it while it's on the car.

I've done a few down in Melbourne. And it might look simple but it time consuming.

Because if you want a clean finish, you'd have to remove the window seals, so you can actually tuck the vinyl behind the pillar, so you won't see ANY edges. That goes for the back pillars too.

Even after doing a few, it still takes me 1.5-2hours to do all 6.

Here's a couple of pics.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
