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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
