Yeah thats because i'm designing it... now i got all my other carbon stuff done i can start working on it...

the airbox will be made in the front right hand side and mine will be open top and seal against my carbon bonnet.. will also be ceremic coated same thing we do to all of our V8 race stuff... helps keep the heat out too.. will post pics as i go along..

i do all my own carbon fibre work mate, as i'm a qualified composite technician.. if you need stuff anything done just give Custom Carbon a call.. details are in my sig

maybe ill get mine remade...

see how different it is.

the carbon bit on the bottom (usually black plastic) is off a series 1/2. Series 3 have a larger, deeper lip with brake ducts.

Cool can see the difference now (and the blue on the seats in the first lot of pics). The lip on my car is rooted from the previous owner. Was considering a carbon one, but would prefer the S3 shape.

why is the carbon is such big squares? Can you do it in smaller squares?

carbon is big squares because i wanted something that would draw attention, you will not see another bonnet like it, unless i make another one for someone else ha ha.. yes can do carbon in a smaller weave.. i think your after the standard 3k carbon twill personally i think its boring because everyone has it.. i like to be different..

you sure its a series 3?? it hasn't got the front lip.

series 2 with series 3 headlights...

series 2's have the brake ducts too.... :D just the lip is not as agressive.. glad i dont have one as my driveway has worn the bottom off the series 2 one anyway. series 3 one i wouldn't be able to get in my driveway at all.

Series 3 lip:

Looks more aggressive than the S1/S2. Also bigger brake ducts. If i had of had a fibre glass one it would of been shattered by now.... avoid fibreglass, orig plastic is the goods, CF is probably in between the 2?

Out of interest - what would one of those carbon front lips cost? what about your bonnet? I assume its full CF not half fibreglass?

the lip is $880 Inc GST they come clear 2-pak'd with UV stable 2pak and bolt straight up..

bonnet hmmm something like that would be around $3500 Inc GST and yes its 100% carbon fibre NO fibreglass also comes clear 2pak'd with UV stable 2pak and bolts straight up perfect.

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
