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

Kevin go full carbon fibre!

..And if it was me, i wouldnt choose neither of the two above.

How about something like this?

(check under the heading bonnets and its the 1st one)

But then again its ur car and ur decision on what u like :D

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

hmmm i rarely seen a R33 with the Z tuen bonnet aye lol danno about htat being common i got a Carbon fibre Z tuen bonnet for my R33 S1` in the shed :) haha cause its rainy weather and water gets into my spark plugs area but go Z tune style :)

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... :)

We are receiving a whole bunch of hoods very soon, which includes the Z-tune style for series 1, if your interested?

Hey mate, I've responded to your PM - very interested... but can you please give price indications etc.

Thanks,

Kevin

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.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
