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...

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

    • Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?
    • They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.
    • Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!      
    • Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
    • I would be, however the last PS I owned was a PS1 and the last GT I played was GT1 lol. Also, how do you dads even have time to do anything? I barely have time to even sleep 7 hours a night!
