Yup, there's a number of threads on CF bonnets, but no matter how many there are there's never any info on where to get a Z-tune styled one :kiss:

carmate does the z tune style in both fibre glass and carbon fibre

cost me $2000. its only 2 layers of carbon an weighed between 6-7kg.

Stock bonnet = 25kg approx

fibreglass bonnet = 18kg approx

Jap made carbon bonnet = 15kg approx (there fibreglass bonnets with 1 layer of carbon put on the top side)

GTR alloy bonnets are close in weight to the Jap carbon ones, but....dont fit gts-t's (well the 33 ones dont anyway)

um cost him 1k max from just jap..

Not to sure if they make them for series 2 tho..

This was series 1.5 i believe.. Series 2 are a little different.

Best carbon bonnet i have seen is either east bear stuff..

I remember yonks ago, there was a guy from interstate that made it himself for this 33 gtr.. Maybe search for that thread!!

Heres a few pics of carbon bonnets: Not exactly sure if they are real or just fibreglass.. But just some pics for you!!

Check out topstage.. he sells nice bonnets!!

But i wouldnt bother with one to be honest, unless its a plan design, without the huge whole in the middle.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
