Is it just me or does carbon fibre in general look to me look cheap? If it was fully chrome then I would be impressed, but that carbon fibre look doesn't grab me. Seems very expensive for what u get. I saw on another site you can get like the glovebox and centre console in carbon fibre look -- all up it was a couple of grand for the full set.

Well I've sorta gotten used to the idea that any sort of frill for the Skyline is expensive.

The problem is that my car has some severe (IMO) scratches on the original mouldings. I don't really wish to spend a fortune fixing it and have it still look like the boring old OEM shit. So why not make it carbon? Chrome is ok but it'll look like shit pretty soon.

True...or spend the money on some good mods? :D I think if you spend some time prepping back your old one and applying a few coats of paint you might get a good result and surprise yourself. If mine gets bad that is what i shall do.

I really don't feel like much more engine modding in my car... I don't think I need *too* much more power.

The problem is that you see and feel the interior *every day* so the imperfections tend to irritate me a bit.

$450 is not too bad a price to pay I would suppose.

      I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.

      Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
