Carbon Fibre S2 Front Foglight/indicator Surrounds Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

It's like the complete opposite of what I was expecting.

I went into it thinking I was going to have to trim and cut it to make it fit given it was the prototype and was amazed it fit without me needing to do anything.

Fellas keep in mind that mounting point locations are very hard to replicate within mm's without an expensive jig which would increase the price dramatically.

I hate saying it because we pride ourselves on positive feedback, but some minor alterations will be unavoidable with products with complex mounting points.

When these things coming

Oops just read the last page, I hope they come Monday now

Yeah I understand that 100%. Hence why I was counting on having to modify mine slightly. I must have just got the luck of the draw. At the end of the day, for the price they are and considering you don't really need to get all 6 fittings on (I had two snapped on my factory one and didn't even know) I still think they are damn decent.

I probably just got every one's hopes up when I said they were a perfect fit, sorry guys lol.

Fitted my set today, took a bit of effort to get them to fit although I am happy with the end result

Just got mine today, fairly happy with what I got, one visible blemish on the face side,

Any one else in Perth get a set of these, or am I going to be the only bad ass rolling around with a set?? Hope so!!!

If some one knows somebody that wants a set please buy my spare ones, they are just sitting in a box doing nothing :(

Has anyone compared them against other carbon they have on their car?

Mine seem very blue in comparison to my bonnet, maybe I just need to polish up the covers?

In any case, once I get them looking black (polish or tint) like carbon, they should look like this.

Picked mine up today and got them on eventually.. I only had problems with one of the mounting points on each, along the slanted corner which I managed to snap off on one (which made it easier to saw about 5mm off!) and sawed the same off the other without snapping it off. happy.gif Also had to use different screws but not a problem really. My FMIC piping was the worst problem I had, trying to get a bolt off where it was right in the way. Oddly the bolts on one side were 10mm the other side were 8mm.. Hmmm.

i have a return flow blitz cooler and it was a massive pain in the ass to squeeze my hand between the piping and get the bolts undone

and then re do them

next we need to get someone to cut the glass on those clear glass lenses so we can replace the orange indicators....

hmmm firstly I need some time to do all this stuff...

I accidentally smashed one when we moved to our new place, hence why I havn't really done anything new in that area :(

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
