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.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      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.
