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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
