OK I know it is all personal choice but for those that cannot afford the real stuff. Any opinions on this Carbon Fibre Wrap stuff?

My roof (pearl white) has some paint peeling off and I thought I would try and stop the "rot". Its a pain when I use the car washes as I have to go easy on the high pressure water thing.

get the 3M wrap.. i had this on my s2000 boot and bonnet.. looked great.. but make sure u get the 3M one cause ive seen a few other people try other stuff and a few months down the track.. the got bubble and cloudy white patches started to appear,, my 3M wrap was on my car for 2 years and had no dramas.. didnt fade, peel or bubble..

+1 3M carbon wrap

Whilst I have only had interior parts wrapped in 3M carbon I have seen plenty of quality external installs here in Brisbane. I would say the vast majority of us Brisbane SAU members use Stephen @ Wrapture Styling for all of their needs. Check out his website (http://www.wrapturestyling.com/) and he is also on FB. Loads of images to feast your eyes on. Been in Sydney distance will/could be a problem for you but if you talk to Stephen perhaps he can recommend someone for you? Good luck but be warned, carbon wrapping is addictive!

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
