Hi all,

 

has anyone had any experience with the quality of the online or eBay carbon fiber covers that go above the front grill of the r32? I have attached a photo below. 
 

or what is the best place to get a high quality one in matte carbon fiber? 
 

thanks IMG_9646.thumb.png.05c03ab097807663923539c034c3ba5a.png

they're called radiator cooling panels. Maybe Japan? No idea of anyone in Australia made a decent version.

I think I might have to take the plunge and try eBay. But bit risky on quality I suspect. 👍🏻😂

Ordered this one from Japan … looks a great fitment from the videos and also similar to the discontinued greddy one. Slots right under the radiator rubber trim. IMG_9674.thumb.png.009cb640bafddf9354a7f82847ed0f71.pngIMG_9673.thumb.png.66ae6aa62fc0c10360e9b5936c08a12a.png

I got one on aliexpress for something like $30, it was a piece of stainless with a carbon wrap.  Shape was alright and the wrap was ok, worst case I was just going to paint it black.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
