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

just fit shitty

looks good man but all the covers need to be carbon :P

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:)

regardless fake or not, i think it looks hot

and ive played with carbon before and i personally couldnt tell, not everyone is an expert.

but it is fake (its a film).... thats the point. I dont even really like the look of the real ones on our car but that fake looking stuff with skew-wiff lines going through it, then way to much clear over the top looks real average.. that technique has been round for ages....

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).

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
