Hey guys.. it's good to see u are getting ur eyelids... it's very convenient that ur cars are black or dark colours.. but mine is still YelloW..  

Yes I'm the sucker who lost one of his lids..

Just wondering whether it'd be worth buying the carbon fibre ones..

On a yellow car.  

Cheers

Personally I think it would look wonky with black eye lids (a case of "must have eyelids over good taste").

You could just order them and get them painted... It wouldn't cost that much and no doubt look great :P

Yeah man thanks for the thought..

But my real question is.. that you can get the non Carbon fibre ones for less and then get them painted..

Besides.. from extreme weight reduction.. lol..

would you guys reckon it would be worth getting the C/F and painting them.. coz I'm not sure how they would look painted?..

I've still got one eyelid left on my car.. ( it looks like my baby has a gimp now..)

and I'm sure my ones are plastic..

Apparently the guy who I got the car off paid like $500 for the pair 3 years ago from a place in sydney..

so I'm glad they have come down in price.. but am wondering if it's worth getting the C/F ones..

Do not get the CF ones, they will only look like plastic once painted. If you can get the plastic ones for $85 (read previous posts) get those.

On the other hand i would prefer to get the CF ones for $110+P rather than buying from N1 @ $245+P. Almost fell off chair laughing when i saw those prices at N1.

I got mine in the mail today!!! from the ebay dude in HK. $85 delivered, fibreglass ones and they're actually white in color! very carefully wrapped in like 3-4 layers of bubble wrap in a box. All I can say is the finish and quality is really good. Now jst need to find someone to respray them to match. if anyone is interested please email him directly. its $85 for fibreglass and $110 for CF ones delivered. The fibreglass ones would probably work out a tad more expensive after painting compared to the CF ones if ur lucky enough to have a black r34 but hey, its much better than the N1 ones...and its the same thing.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.

      Any idea where I can get genuine MAF apart from used ones? I can't find any only for GTRs and unfortunately that price is not in my budget 🤣 I might gap my plugs down and put my splitfires in, they were only in for a year or so before I started the rebuild
