Well I have an interesting story (not really)

I was at the runs at Eastern Creek on wednesday and I actually saw The THC r34 neways..

I also saw a Honda Intergra (why i gave it caps i dont know - is it really a car? lol) Now funny thing it had a carbon fibre hood. Strangest thing was it looked really really sexi! It was dark CF but very nice... Set off the black perfectly.

Truthfully I havnt seen something set of a black car like that before a C.F hood would look the part IMO but hey ur choice...

Now for the catch .. I used to be against C.F on black .. even though I never saw one in real life, obviously until I did!

it looks great imo

i didnt think it would. but i saw a black 34 with a cf bonnet. looks classy/stylish. much better than the panda style (black on white).

Go for it if you want to spend the money, i seen one in town once, black s2 C.F bonnet and C.F drift wing...looked hot.

Im not a fan of them on white. Its such a clean colour y throw black on it. If i was to get a custom bonnet on my car it would be vented and white. If i was to paint it gold (like i want) i would prob go C.F.

Sorry champ^^^ but have you ever had and problems with coppas and your carbon hood? Heard they were illegal and really want to clarify as I'm keen on one.

cheers big ears,

deriq.

ah sory, btw, I've heard good things from Custom Carbon up in QLD, but they've never replied to any of my emails, so I'm not sure as to how much one would set you back from them.

I f my GTS4 was any other colour I would not have gotten mine as I think it would attract cops but on black it blends in and does the cooling job I bought it for as well. Halfed underhood temps nearly. :D

^^^ nice hood mate.. from my understanding, black carbon was the wet carbon look and the carbon/kevla is the more dry carbon look, that right? :laugh:

could I ask how much you paid for it and where you got it? Im really considering getting one myself and painting it the same colour as my car [white] so its alot less attention seeking..

cheers mate,

deriq.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
