Can anyone recommend me a good place/site to get a good quality carbon fibre bonnet for my R32 GTR?

I was looking for a full dry CF one. But have only found ones with a CF coating on fibreglass. Is there much diff in weight? or any other differences? Any help appreciated greatly. Thanks

wouldnt recommend buying 100% carbon unless you have the funds to do it as the weight diference is very very small between that and carbon coated fibreglass one.....just my 2c anywayz

yea thats wat i wanted to know in my first post.. the weight diff

anyways ive decided against getting the CF hood for now.. money better spent elsewhere..

besides the rice factor wont really benefit my car atm heh

CF bonnet usually uses epoxy, it's flamable. we use hi temp resins for cf bonnets, the same as that used on CF mufflers.

unfortunately there will be no cf bonnets until further notice. due to cf shortage.

if you want to lighten your car up, we can shave off 20kg- 100kg depending on how far do you want to go.

100 cf are very dangerous indeed, no one uses them, it's electrical conduction are very severe. that's why fiberglass overlay are important on cf parts to make them less snappy on impact and to prevent electrical shorts......

and for front lips, Fiberglass Flexi are more durable than CF lips. same with bonnets.

no one except for nissan and there genuine R34 bonnets.....

i am tipping that the reason most of you dont make them use only carbon is due to the cost.....

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
