Does anyone know where i can get the side decals like the R34 GTR Brian had, ive seen a few people with them now including the R33 on top of the burleigh wreckers i think it is.

I bought one online but its turned out to be a little bit too small and does go all the way to the end of the wheel guard.

Is there anywhere i can get them including the bonnet stripes? Or will i have to get them made at a sign shop

Below is the pic of mine, as you can see its not the right scale for the decal (only cost $40 anyway)

ive come accross this website, has anybody experienced this before? Safe to buy from?

Mate, don't listen to other people - just get it out of your system - some people just need to put decals on their car just once in their lives...go ahead...and no, never and never will buy decals from anyone where...

Google CarX Decal. These guys do good work and can post interstate...

Cheers mate, helped a lot.

Went through their images, turns out they do a custom one that looks like the exact same to fit an R34 and they sell em for $200 from sydney or $400 to fit aswell

Kyle I'm not going to be harsh, but that movie was a farce and everything about it and in it was an even bigger farce. The only people I can fathom looking up to cars like those in the movie are 18 year olds, the same generation that only learned of the import and tuning scene through video games such as Need For Speed (blasphemy for import hard knocks). Goodluck with your endeavours, I hope you get this filth out of your system quickly - it makes us all look bad.

As they say haters gonna hate, but your forgetting its a N/A skyline... im doing everything aesthetically i can to it so at point of sale it targets p platers, as you said "dumb 18 yr olds".
From this i hope to earn a bit of money from it.

Im not a fan of decals myself, but my R34 now im trying to make as much money out of it as i can. Then when i get the turbo r34 or r32, its gonna have track related mods, not worried about decals, unless its sponsors or if i have my own design.



BTW incase you havent noticed on the Gold Coast there is about 3 -5 cars with these decals on, everyone in public that has seen the car all drop their jaws to it, its obvious people out there think its an icon.

Look at southport wreckers... they have a wrecked R33 with the same decals on it, they decided to put it on their roof as an icon.

Maybe it does look like shit to a lot of people in melbourne and victoria etc. but f**k i dont care what everyone thinks, its my aesthetics project car, and im doing mods to it i think is going to get the price up on it.

Ive had experience with it before. People always say "oh you never make money on cars"
Absoloute bullshit.

We used to buy cars, fix em, sell em make $1000 profit min a time.

People dont realise how many dumb p platers are out there that dont know what cars are worth.

My previous sales of cars, ive had people come buy them without even getting in em or test driving em. More money for me....

My mate bought a Auto S13 Silvia CA18de for $5000....... shit paint, shit wheels, rust..... < You really think a ca18de silvia is worth 5k? lol...

You queenslanders must have something in your water that causes people like you to believe that looks good.

I'd rather kick a wall with a toothpick lodged under my toenail than to drive that riced out piece of shit and if my son

ever showed me that car and said that he wanted to buy it, I would slap him so hard his head spins around like the excorcist.

You're also a shit mate for letting your mate buy a auto ca s13 for 5k.

Are you still doing this decal thing?

I'm keen to see pictures once it's done!

If you haven't done it why not spend that money on some good coilovers and a pair of sway bars?

Yeh i am doing it, but atm im repainting my bonnet, rear left quarter, roof, wing, tail light panels, because some have some major stone chips on em (paint peeling off) ive got rust coming through the paint also so who ever had the car before did a shit paint job because the base coat isnt even sticking to the primer.

Just finishing sanding off the roof now, got decals at home waiting.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
