Hey Guys,

I know you will say don't do it blah blah, but it's my car so Please help me out if you have any experience.

Iv'e ordered a sheet to do some interior parts there not individual stickers but a Whole sheet and cut it to shape, But what I was wondering, how would I Go about preping the interior plastics to hold the self adhesive sticker sheet (A Pillar, and the plastics around the gearstick, door handles etc?) Wax and grease remover? or what?

Thanks guys

i'd imagine sand it back a bit, then give it a good clean and wipe down. might wanna check that though. i've got no experience with those big sheets. i dont see how'd they'd be any different to individual stickers. normal stickers should have no problem on a clean surface especially on the inside.

It will depend on the surface you are applying it to, it says you have an R33 (on the left side thingy), if you are planning on doing your centre console/dash fascia etc... you will more than likely need to remove the factory rubbery paint. (metho and a scourer/rag will do this)

Once clean use Isopropyl alcohol (IPA), pretty sure this can be bought from most hardware/auto stores, to give it a final wipe down before applying the vinyl.

This was done using the above method.

Scourer sounds abit dodge (not sure)? but their a thing called scotch tape it comes in diferent colours meaning diferent abrasive's then wax and grease it.

Give it a realy good wash if u have ever used interiour cleaners as its a bitch to stick stuff to

I thought t about sticker bombing my whole R34 front bumper or the just the lower quartile, they look good in photos and video's such as stanceworks and hellflush and might serve in protecting paint work from rock chips but i dont know how it will turn out so putting that idea off.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
