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!!

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

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
