They are actual carbon fibre with a sticky backing, so yeah its a sticker, but it is actual carbon fibre. They look really good but like people have said, they are expensive, $110-$120. I'm getting some for mine soon to match my carbon mirrors :D

do not buy these.... why i hear you ask?

well... because they are teh HOMO!

wait till you see 'em when they get old

Pftt they are not homo and how old are we talking? I know of ones that have been on a car for a few years and they still look fine. Its just carbon fibre with a clear coat or resin over it, so how would it differ from a carbon bonnet or any other piece of carbon?

I've had mine for over 2 years now and they are still in top condition

here ya go kittkat11, pics don't do it justice. The perfect compliment to any other carbon bits you have on a car, I'm gonna get a set of CF Ganadors when the side mirror motors give out :down:

My R34 sedan came with some sort of carbon-fibre look-alike when I bought it (fairly common on the sedan from what I gather) - but it's not marked nismo as in the 2-door.

The carbon garnish was already slightly damaged when I bought the car, but 18 months on it's starting to annoy me more any more - I wish I could replace it with something nicer :)

Thoughts?

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
