Carbon Goods For R32/r33/r34/s15/s14/ct9A Evo7-9 Round 2 Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

I am having trouble getting my eyelids to stick. I have used 2 different types of double sided tape, in different quantities, and it still seems to fall off in 2-3 days. I am cleaning the headlight beforehand, doing everything it asks..

Any advice anyone can give me..?

3M VHB Tape....

After closer inspection it looks almost like my headlights have been melting the tape.. I have heard 3m is the best, I will try this tape and post results.

hi all,

by now everyone should've received their deliveries.

let me know if you haven't and i will chase it up with aus post or e-go.

Voncina, what double sided tape were you using before?

Tarzan grip. It seemed to stick alright, but would just unstick after a few days, and I put it down to the heat of the headlights as it seemed to 'slide' down.

Like the previous post before me said, I am going to try source some 3m VHB tape. If anyone knows where to get it commercially please let me know, or else I will have to get it special ordered through my work maybe..

I'll check to see if we have any shelf life expired stock at work, there's normally something.

I'll let ya know tomorrow night.

Sweet dude, that will be really helpful!

Thanks a lot. :)

Got mine from Bunnings, has been rock solid for 3 years now. I've got 55W 12000k HID's as well, so if they don't melt it then nothing will!

Just a bit of feedback - The weatherstrips look good, haven't fitted them yet but it looks straightforward. With the pods I have spoken to my panelbeater and they will need some modding (shortening) to fit onto the stock GTT bar.

will there be another group buy?

i'm after these -

R34 GTR OEM rear bumper exhaust shroud $55

* R34 GTR NISMO Z-Tune rear add ons $150 CF

R32 GTR wind deflectors came up good. Left one needed some flexing to get to sit.

I'm using the 3M tape from ebay, bottom left corner on the left hand side seems to get unstuck after a little while.

Does anyone know if the tape takes some time to cure? I was thinking of using some electrical tape to hold it all in place overnight so it sticks better

Anyone got any tips for fitting the 34 weather shields?? Had a look today but didn't look straightforward so went back inside to the aircon and watched the cricket

Yeah see your local panelbeater lol

too hot man

i recommend sikaflex but it is a more permanent solution, double sided tape can work but don't know how long it'll last.

so if you're not confident, ask your local panel beater or body kit fitting place.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
