All I can say Is speak to Shane at www.psiparts.com.au this guys got the lot at awesome prices to.

Thanks so much mate!!

I visited his website but not much variety - not on there?/

well it's not black :yes: but here you go. the c/f weave is a little faded. oh, and try to ignore the jacaranda flowers on top :teehee: . don't ask me where i got it from, cause it was on the car when i bought it

This is exactly I am planning to get.

Very nice.

i havnt got a carbon hood mainly cause im pretty sure they're illegal due to them not crumpeling, instead they shatter and that worries me about insurance being void, there is a place in queensland www.blitsbodykits.com.au, fibreglass kits but apparently they are the only guys in aus that make road legal fibreglass hoods worth checking out if your interested

i just ordered a z tune carbon fiber bonnet for my r34 gtt it cost me 900 plus delivery from mu secret so ill get back to u on how it fits

Yeah, thanks champ. Fitment is probably my biggest concern.

Some pic would be good too .... do you have contact details / internet website for musecret?

Thanks.

mus secret in burwood? that what we are talking bout?

Its on Parra rd, its closest cross road is Parra Rd and Burwood rd and its next door to "car wash 2000" but thats as much as I can help. Nice guys.. not to metion the GTR they have.

I always thought black cars looked a bit odd with CF bonnets.. You get that sexy black effect, then a asshat grey bonnet. :P

I always wanted to get an OEM style CF bonnet, but paint it the colour of the car. Less in-your-face-look-at-me kinda.

And i also had the plan of re-clearing it with a tinted clear so it pretty much looks like the factory colour, but when your up close you can see a hint of CF weave ;)

Nice.... this is wht I wanted to get too... I agree, black cars look odd ith full CF hoods... but if you paint them, they look mad... well, I've rang around a few places... cheapest I could find was $700 - that's pretty expensive... nearly $1K for a hood... I don't know, might not proceed..

Anyone got a second-hand one they wanna sell? :banana:

well, thought I'll update everyone... ended up not getting the CF bonnet - as a mate had one, chucked it on for looks and on a black R33 and doesnt look that nice so I gave it up... but thanks all.

They look good if you get the right one but i got myn to keep the engine temp down and it worked :D

Maybe you should just mould a vent on to a stock bonnet

Well, I guess depends on which CF bonnet.

No, molding a vent on the original bonnet is like a commodore with the 3M-double sided tape ones. yuk. :(

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
