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.

yep and thats who quoted me on the one for my 2006 holden combo..

Just out of interest I got pulled over today and fined for not having a mod plate for the pod and micrrotech ecu $75 no points BUT he made no mention at all about my carbon over fibreglass bonnet but then again I didnt ask either lol

WOW Terry your pod is secured... Yeah...

How did they get you on the ECU??? How did they even know???

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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
