Hey Guys,

So I am going to bite the bullet and plastidip my whole car.

I been reading about it and everything to do with the pros & cons

The price is just to good to pass up.

Anyone else done anything using this stuff?

I will post up before and after pictures when I finally get started

Ebay seller seems to have it.

But check out this website

http://www.plastidip.net.au/

Few of the guys in whoretown are telling me if I work out the total price its not great.

But I might do a bit more of a search in how much it would cost to do the entire car here in Aus.

I use this stuff gor random bits. 1 can will come close to doing a bonnet.

The only problem is that it is not durable at all. Stone chips will come up very easily.

I think you should do your bonnet or roof first to get a feel for the stuff.

Also to make it look even on a large surface is a pain

Okay so got a spare minute and worked out a few things.

To spray a skyline you need about 2 x 3.78L

These are priced at $250 on ebay

So $500 for all the paint you will need. (Not including postage but it seems to be around $100)

Then one of my mates has a spray gun so I dont need to worry about that.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
