Well as you may know, we probably jumped the gun a bit when we said Sniper Racing was releasing some Carbon Fibre interior pieces, as they have taken a fair while to actually come up with the goods. Now, we have some first hand pictures of the interior pieces it's now over to you guys for some feedback, as Sniper Racing (after some persuasion :thumbsup: ) is willing to remake the interior pieces in our choice of material.

First of all, here are some pictures of what we have so far, (instrument cluster surround to follow very soon).

Now, they debate is Dry vs. Wet Carbon.

Here are some points of discussion:

- Wet Carbon is cheaper to produce than Dry carbon due to the storage requirements and tooling needed

- Dry Carbon will be a single layer of carbon that is stuck directly over your existing dash pieces

- Wet Carbon will replace your existing trimmings and require some work to make them fit well

- Dry Carbon can be finished in a gloss (despite popular belief)

- Wet Carbon will have slightly skewed carbon weave as it is hand laid into a female mould, where dry normally requires tooling

Let us know your thoughts so we can pass them back and get these produced.

We have been given a few samples at a discounted rate, thus if some members are willing to do up a pictorial installation guide and provide detailed comments we can organise to get you one now. Please PM me if you are interested in this.

Have you only got these for R33 so far or do you have samples for R32 as well?

Yes we have some samples for R32. I just haven't had time to take pictures, PM me for more details.

+3. when will it be available and excactly what bits will there be. :devil:

The wet carbon pieces are available now for R33 and R32 (we have a handful of the gear stick surrounds) on a trial basis. If by the end of the trial the majority of people have said the fiddling is acceptable then the dry carbon will not be produced as the set-up costs of dry carbon are very expensive.

They look like a Carbon Print over OEM items. :rofl:

from my understanding reading through wot it says on import monster these are genuine carbon interior pieces not film over the top like u think. check it out because i realy dont think that carbon film would cost as much as these parts do

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
