Hey everyone,

I'm after a Carbon Fibre bonet for my GTO.

Does anyone know where I could possibly get one made?

Nobody sells them for GTOs, due to the car being fairly rare.

Any info in this thread or PM will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Ali.

yeah i have a custom carbon bonnet....awesome quality!!!

be prepared to pay a fair bit though, if it the first one they make, they have to create a mould etc etc, which you'll probably be volunteering your bonnet for...

but if anyone can i'd reckon it'd be them

is it dry carbon?

tell em the price, son!

PM me if you want :D

Tried Freddy. No luck. Still searching.

The CC guy in Brisbane is after about $2200, before delivery.

Freddy said probably $1200 but can't do it for a few months.

freddy may take a while, but he makes some good stuff.

i got him to make a CF bonnet for my car (which took aaaages, but thats due to unforseen issues that he ran into, and then I had quite a few dramas aswell, so wasnt entirely his fault).

but i picked up my bonnet over the weekend, and the quality of his workmanship was perfect. i had a few specific requests for my bonnet, and he made it up to my specs.

being a GTO, he will definitely need ur bonnet to make the mould which may take a whole week (maybe more depending how busy he is). anyway, good luck!

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
