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

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.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
