jez NF Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Not exactly a "project"....but something I did today. There is a lot of dust around the work car park and the regular bombardment of berries and falling leaves leaves my car filthy. I have a car cover...but the elastic ends do not stand a chance against the force of the wind....which means I invariably find the cover half off or flapping madly in the wind. Convinced "the slave" to stich some black tags on to the bottoms of the cover...... and boooom......I have a nice compact and secure cover now as I simply have to loop the tags around the bottom of each rim and secure them. No bending down and trying to throw stuff under the car to get it to the otherside...no chance of scratches and dents due to the hooks / clips flapping around or rubbing while on the car...nothing.

jez NF Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) With rain predicted I can't start painting.....so since I was bored this morning I decided to try my hand at "sticker making" .............hahahaaaaaaaa Download images from google. Align it and edit off unwanted bits Print it out on nice bright yellow paper Get some decent glue Stick it It helps when you have things to cover up...........................like this annoying mark that was there when I bought the car (ironically from a sticker!!) Nice?? P.S. I did try removing the previous mark...yes I even used a spirit based cleaner etc...and all I was doing was making scratch marks...and nothing...the damn glue has like "molded" itself into the paint.....so the best bet is to cover it....and I quite like my "art" actually !!

jahn-15 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Do you still have the plates J E Z ? Because I tell you, I'm a Cop and I run every single custom plate I see. Mostly because they have trouble attached to their car, I'm more so referring to the person behind the wheel. I'm only posting this because of your story with the Police. Now I wasn't there so I don't know whether you embellished your story a little bit or what, but either way, right or wrong. If you don't want to draw attention to yourself, then don't have those plates on your car. I doubt the officer said "Oh this is a rice burner" but hey that's just me, and only you'll know the truth. But in the end you can hardly complain, they didn't defect you and you weren't issued any traffic infringements. Why are the plates available from the Rta if you police are going to pull over every single person running them? Also I'd be inclined to belive his story most cops are arrogant assholes that try and f**k the average law abiding citizen over. They tryed hard to find something and couldn't so got the shits about it. I'm sure you of all people have seen how police are mental on shooting anyone they can. Giving chase to anyone and that ends up in the person there pursuing getting killed. Also police brutality I'm sure you have seen the news plenty of stories going round. If I went out and bashed someone or a women etc I'd be locked up straight away but how come they get away with only good behaviour bonds?? Also why do they basically shoot to kill is it because you guys only get one training session a year " my wifes cousin is a cop at Richmond and thats what he told me " if so you would think if you has to shoot why go for a kill shot? This is just my opionion.

75coupe Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Im not sure on those stickers eh... Ive been watching your thread for a while and everything looks clean and simple and then you go and put those stickers on just makes it look cheap... Dont be offended though, just seems tacky compared to other stuff your done to it (besides the front bar mesh that Im not personally a fan of stainless steel ftw)...

I agree on this they are a bit out of place, I think if you just laminated the sticker itself, and it had an adhesive backing, rather than the clear plastic over the top, it would make a world of difference.

SileNceR Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Nissan have the tyre placard thick stickers in Melbourne. I got one for the R33 we just finished spraying. Reckon you should have just put one of those where the original has been torn off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/9/#findComment-6340687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jez NF Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yeah you guys are probably right....on second thoughts I guess they are a tad " not up to standard "....but they do cover the old marks...which annoy me....and I rather have them. Also they are inside the door jambs so they cant really be seen at all unless you open the door..which is not very often. Might knock off the extra bits though...and make it just the sticker part....I need them to be laminated though....because water does get to them. All this "nonsense modification" is actually because I'm stalling for time...want to get the painting started....but this rainy weather is not making it very easy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/9/#findComment-6340692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Jez; that is probably the most well looked after 33 I have ever seen. I wish there were more owners like you mate. There are 5 skylines on my street and every one of them has a wrecked interior, wrecked paint; a fart cannon and bald tyres with big rims. I have never seen an interior in a 33 that wasn't wrecked. It's like they throw a dog in there or something. Anyway; made my morning. good on you.
