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.

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
