Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyones got photos of theirs of different types?

Cheers,

Chris have u searched? I remember seeing a thread on this.....

[AZN25T]

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

check out my user gallery, I got one made by CustomCarbon in QLD. It's damn light an awesome quality!! (think its customcarbon.com.au?)

theres heads of the Jap type ones out there with the fibreglass underside, checkout nismo.com.au carmate.com.au justjap.com.au

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

Except they're for series 1 unfortunately. Sorry, I didn't specify

Siddr20.....how much did it cost? if u know....

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)

[siddr20]

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!!

and i got lots more.. but cbf lol..

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.

Water and other crap will get on top of your engine!!! not good !!
