Yeah the green turd was wrapped. 

NJD customs did mine. Was happy with it. Cost was part of sponsorship so not a true reflection of what is usually charged. Shoot me a message if you want me to find out more. Also car has be with him for around a week depending on car.

i have my bonnet done for the last 8 years still in great condition , use 3m products . find out the cost of materials as you can save a few hundred buying from o/s. once you know what you wan't if you are interested i can give you a number for someone but he can be really flat out some months.

Vinyl wrapping

Has anyone had their car wrapped? Were you happy with the job? what did it cost? how did it last?

My cima is the wrong colour but I don't think painting it is the way to go....

Not sure if you are still looking but send my mate David a message.

Thanks for the extra option. Actually i haven't got this sorted yet and want to move it along, but since I'm not on facebook and no wrap companies exist outside facebook it looks like check-mate!

If anyone knows a reputable wrapper who owns a phone I'd be happy to give them a go....

Short term, I like vynil wrapping, but long term it doesn't last from what I've seen especially if the car is not going to be garaged or out of the sun a lot of the time.

My sisters car is professionally wrapped in her business stuff (Multiple colours etc), it's about 4 years old now and severely starting to fade. She's going to get it pulled off and redone as it's a major advertising item for her.

A mate also had a car that was wrapped professionally in matte black just before he bought it, 3 years on and he's pulling it off as it has gone off in the sun and started to blister. I'm not a huge fan of matte black most of the time, but after seeing it in the sun over the few years it went REALLY disgusting. Not a fan.

I guess it really depends on how long the Cima will be around for, and how much you despise the colour, and if you care if you need to rewrap in another 4 or so years.

Both cars I've mentioned above were unable to be garaged, both were street parked for their life, and I DO feel that the sun played a MASSIVE part in it.

Thanks Brett, I got in contact with those guys AND they responded. happy days.

Matt thanks for the feedback, that's exactly the sort of info I was looking for. Do you know what brand of vinyl was used in either/both? With the race car there has been a massive difference between the good quality stuff (avery) and ebay special stuff. The cheap stuff has gone bad in less than a year while I've had avery vinyl on there for 7 years which is still OK. I understand 3m is the stuff to go for in wraps.

I put about 50,000klm a year on the cima so 4 years life would be a good outcome, it will be about half a million klm by then. And it's going to be living outdoors for a couple of years while we build again for sure

Not sure at all on the brand of the Vynil on the matte black, I'll ask the question though if they know the exact brand for the one on my sisters car.

I know the stuff on my sisters car was not cheap at all.

well that was an interesting exercise, this is what I learned:

some businesses only deal with people who have facebook accounts

some wrap businesses don't respond to sales inquiries

2 that did both quoted over $6k to wrap the car. Both took more than 2 weeks to respond.

So in summary, the cima is staying black :)

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).

      EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
