I have some carbon fibre parts on my car already and my car is always in the garage, actually hasnt been out for atleast 4months for a day drive...

but I did notice while going over it and being a bit ashamed at how much dust has accummulated whilst being in the garage that a carbon fibre part that has been on the car less than a year has gone cloudy..

very suprised cause its a known supplier too..

so I'll be looking at getting UV clear coat on these new parts to prevent this happening.

just a thought, its easier to protect than buff the cloudy appearance away.

Well Im reading up on it atm...

the CF parts need to be UV resistant clear coat..

this is what Ive found so far.... 'Basco clear primer and Basco clear coat against UV'

they mix the UV protectant in with the clear coat apparantly...

Lots of CF parts have this problem, its a cosmetic thing as when CFis used in aeroplanes or boats they just paint with UV paint and you dont see the CF weave anymore

but for cosmetic parts, you need UV clear coat...

I think I'll be taking all my CF off and getting it all clear coated at the same time, cause I have a fair bit and want it to last..

UV also is not good for the resin as it will make it turn brittle and eventually it will crack and fall apart...

this will happen faster with cheaply made CF parts...

although there are reports seibon hoods have gone cloudy within a couple of weeks of being outside... and factory EVO wing blades lasting a couple of years before going cloudy, mitsubishi replaces them under warranty

If anyone has anyother UV protectants that can be mixed with clear coat please let me know...

if its permanent sure, Ive never used or heard of zaino clear seal... so cant comment...

I def prefer something permanent rather than something I have to keep applying regularly...

AUSPOST has sorted it, they managed to intercept the parcel and hopefully should be delivered today.

Aske dmy dad to keep an eye out for it but the coucnil is doing road works and blocking access to my driveway, hopefully the couriers arent lazy pricks and will walk 5 meters to my gate!

75coupe, keep this thread updated if u find a solution to protect the CF gloss coat :)

i think some people just get 2pak clear sprayed on?

ok so, apparantly all automotive clear coats have a UV stabiliser in them and that why clear coats can be so expensive... that the words directly from an automotive paint supplier.

so nothing special to worry about but yes most carbon fibre parts dont have UV stable clear coat on them, and yes you will need to get them clear coated to stop the sun making them cloudy or yellowing them.

sounds like I should buff my headlights and get them done at the same time...

How expensive?

What would spraying a wing blade and wing stands cost?

If it is pricey, it'd be worth just leaving it and replacing them after a year :P

I wouldnt have a clue on cost, I'll be getting quotes myself from the professionals...

It could turn milky in less than a year more like a few weeks depending on how much sun it gets and what resin or gel coat quality has been used.

Oh yeah. Sex and more sex.

Will wait for Dans wing blade too Elvis.

So if they are split up, I'll just wait :( even though I don't want too :P haha. Doing it for the team.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
