Hey all,

The time has come for me to get a carbon fibre bonnet for my R33. Yet there remains two questions - 1) should I go full carbon fiber or the fiberglass one so that it matches my car's paint, 2) which one - see pics as I've narrowed it down to two options (the rest are gay as too many vents etc)...

Choice 1: Top Secret "T2" style - http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...N&p_id=9772

Choice 2: R2 Nismo style - http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...N&p_id=9742

Please let me know peoples.

Many thanks,

Kevin

I prefer the z-tine fins on an R33.

Also the 400R centre 'square' is a great shape to work with on a 33. The other ones just don't stand out enough IMO.

Sorry for reverting to the common styles!!! I dunno...follow your heart? :D

He Sis.,

You are recommending the bonnet below? I wouldn't have thought you would have chosen something more simpler unless I picked the wrong one...?

Thanks for your opinion - but I think it's too fancy with too many vents for my liking... :)

Hey mate, yeah the R2 Z Tune and the Top Secret T2 style is my pics - I'm leaning more towards the T2 at the moment but the R2 is nice as too... I will have to make up my mind as I'm ready to purchase one next month... have already made contact with some sellers on here...

Yeah, I was going to raise the same question - how bad is Carbon bonnets (with vents) and rain water... is it that bad? Which bonnets do not get affected by rain water, do you think?

To all: thanks for your opinions mate... if it's ok, can you please post up some pics with carbon bonnets on R33's?

Thanks....

I say go full carbon fibre. I had this full carbon bonnet on my 33.

Never had any trouble with water getting into the engine bay and i use to drive it all the time in the rain.

It had a small lip just before the vents to stop water from getting into my engine bay and i checked many times after a drive to find a dry egine bay.

If you want more pics pm me.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
