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.

thanks for the feedback guys.....defiently will give it a try....ill get pics posted when i can.

would anyone like to recommend any top CF bonnet distributors?

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.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
