probably not real c/b dude....

real c/f is like $1200+

I have never seen a fake carbon fibre bonnet as there is no plant i know of capable of dipping such a large object nor would it be of any financial gain to do so.

I think you mean or what you should mean is this.

Carbon fibre bonnets purchased under $1000 are usually fibre glass based with the top layer being carbon fibre.

You get the look but not the structural advantages that you do with a complete carbon bonnet.

This is much cheaper and what most cheap Carbon Fibre bonnet makers do.

It is still "real" carbon fibre.

Eastbear, Stout, Jun full carbon fibre bonnets are around $850-1300 plus delivery from Japan.

Its just unfortunate that delivery costs so much :P

Also when a full carbon bonnet has been made within Australia and has been crash tested this will see a large increase in price.

Pod is secure, I have a handset for the microtech and he knew what it was, to be clear on this it wasnt a defect, it says on the fine "drive vehicle if equipment does not comply with the vehicle standards" (word for word there) offense details "pod airfilter, aftermarket computer" I'm not too concerned but the gist of it was, I didnt have a mod plate for anything and he wants me to get one to comply with the law, he could of defected the car but let me off with this as a warning. I have a feeling he just wanted to look at the car and then started telling me about his RX3 with a microtech and all the shit he went through with it even tho he is a cop lol. The reason he pulled me over was, I was be tailed by this total f**kwit who was tailgaiting me for ages and when I got to an intersection, I blasted through it to leave him behind, he was somewhere close and heard the roar and blow off.

i knew that mr-toy i just made the post cause ive seen a few ppl around wanting c/f bonnets cheap...i thought that was cheap

2 yrs ago mine cost me $800 in Hong Kong, it cost $3-400 to import.

why bother paying that much for something that you can only use on the track but i dont have a car so thats just my opinion

My bonnet had a acid rain look to it and a good respray was quoted at $750, this way I get a spare bonnet and no respray hassles, straight up bolt on all I had to do was switch the water spray nozzles.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
