yeah they have alot of side ventilation, hard to see in pics.

I take it the fit on yours was nearly as good as the ones I got then, I was kinda disappointed

Still havnt fitted them as I am not sure I can get a fit I will be happy with,

will give it a serious go on this break coz they do look hot

LTHLRB - turbo is a 3540

URAS - fake stick on aye?

thats interesting considering you have no idea who did it or how it was done

its done by modicoat and its not stuck on its a film that its applied by dipping and then clear coated with 2K clear

it will not go yellow like real carbon it will not de-laminate like real carbon and it will fit 100% first time every time

ive fitted real carbon covers to a number of different cars and they all fit like shit

but it is fake (its a film).... thats the point. I dont even like the look of the real ones on our car but that fake looking stuff with skew-wiff lines going through it looks even worse.

as for yellowing decent stuff will last longer than most will ever keep thier cars... the carbon parts on my race bike (ex 1999 WSB) lasted the 6 years before i sold it and they are still on there (new owner) as good as new.....

EDIT: sorry if you took offence i did not know it was your bay.... next time i will bite my tongue. If it helps i like the rest of the bay:)

Wooow. What kind of attitude is that.

Funny thing is you're the one who started this thread with a set of fake carbon centre covers. If you think those fibreglass-covered-with-carbon are the real deal then you need to see real carbon ones (HKS Kansai for example).

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
