Hey guys.. it's good to see u are getting ur eyelids... it's very convenient that ur cars are black or dark colours.. but mine is still YelloW..  

Yes I'm the sucker who lost one of his lids..

Just wondering whether it'd be worth buying the carbon fibre ones..

On a yellow car.  

Cheers

Personally I think it would look wonky with black eye lids (a case of "must have eyelids over good taste").

You could just order them and get them painted... It wouldn't cost that much and no doubt look great :P

Yeah man thanks for the thought..

But my real question is.. that you can get the non Carbon fibre ones for less and then get them painted..

Besides.. from extreme weight reduction.. lol..

would you guys reckon it would be worth getting the C/F and painting them.. coz I'm not sure how they would look painted?..

I've still got one eyelid left on my car.. ( it looks like my baby has a gimp now..)

and I'm sure my ones are plastic..

Apparently the guy who I got the car off paid like $500 for the pair 3 years ago from a place in sydney..

so I'm glad they have come down in price.. but am wondering if it's worth getting the C/F ones..

Do not get the CF ones, they will only look like plastic once painted. If you can get the plastic ones for $85 (read previous posts) get those.

On the other hand i would prefer to get the CF ones for $110+P rather than buying from N1 @ $245+P. Almost fell off chair laughing when i saw those prices at N1.

I got mine in the mail today!!! from the ebay dude in HK. $85 delivered, fibreglass ones and they're actually white in color! very carefully wrapped in like 3-4 layers of bubble wrap in a box. All I can say is the finish and quality is really good. Now jst need to find someone to respray them to match. if anyone is interested please email him directly. its $85 for fibreglass and $110 for CF ones delivered. The fibreglass ones would probably work out a tad more expensive after painting compared to the CF ones if ur lucky enough to have a black r34 but hey, its much better than the N1 ones...and its the same thing.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...

      Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.

      Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
