General Intrest For Qld R33 Owners

[ratz26]

found out today the shop "pimp my ride"on enterprise street in bundaberg sell R33 carbon fibre bonnets for $695 just thought some of u would like to know

[Mr-Toy33]

its not illegal to sell them

only illegal to have them on the car.

[ratz26]

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

[Mr-Toy33]

probably not real c/b dude....

real c/f is like $1200+

[ratz26]

thats what i was thinking... but he said it was the one they sell in brissy at some car place for around $900..... might be not be real...but it looks real

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

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

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???

[R33S2]

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.

[Sambo33gtst]

I like roar's and blow off's.

I also like C/F stuff.

[Shaneo]

that'd be the first time i've ever heard that you need a Mod plate for a Pod filter

also, Noy works for Custom Carbon

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.
