Hey guys, just bought a pair of CF eyelids for the R34.

Just realised that the end of the eyelids aren't gonna' match the front gaurd. Because it will match the hood which is CF but the front gaurd is White.

So is there a chance of painting just the end of the Eyelids.

I just recieved the eyelids today, and havent tried them on the car yet, But i will tonight and post some pics, (get my lil bro to hold it up) dont want to stick them on yet, want to make sure if im able to paint them or not or what it will look like.

And secondly, is there any place that fixes / repairs heat warp on CF hoofs. It looks like scratches but seems to be heat warp.

I'll post pics up this evening.

Cheers in advanced!

Hey

Yes you can paint over CF all you do is mask the area you dont wanna paint and then give the rest a quick sand with some 600 - 800 WD sand paper

just enough to roughen the surface abit so the paint sticks ( dont go too coarse or you will see the sanding marks through the paint) and then spray on the colour then the clear when its all dry you remove the masking tape and hey presto the end match the guards.. :blush:

I'll grab some pics, i got a feelng its not warp. I reckon it got hit or something and the previous owner doesnt want to admit it.

But tomorrow morning i will get some pics up so you can let me know please.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.

      Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...

      Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
