Carbon Fibre Bonnets

[Yawn]

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

I heard that CF bonnets are dangerous and illegal. If ur engine catches fire, the carbon fibre melts or something. This true?

sure if ur engine catches fire ur cf bonnet will be last thing u think of.

[Yawn]

Hmm it doesnt really affect me, but out of curiosity are they actually illegal? :

[phunky_monkey]

yep, sure are. They don't crumple like a metal bonnet, they shatter, therefore they are illegal.

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

R32GTR bonnet not light enough?????

how about taking weight off elsewhere first... eg interior

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.....
