I'm looking at buying the Blazer style carbon fibre bonnet from PSI parts.

Mentioned in here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ts-t229104.html

If anyone has bought one of these, can you please upload a photo to show it off?

The pic from PSI Parts isnt the best:

Is it just a fibreglass with a layer of CF or is it full CF, probably not for that price eh?

I wouldn't worry about too tough myself...

I'm tempted to replace my current fibreglass bonnet with this one...

Bump!

Surely someone must have bought this bonnet...!

you'll have to give me some time dude, still trying to convince myself that yes I need a different bonnet after already going through the pain of installing aerocatches & getting my FG one painted...

But as soon as I get it I'll send you a picture... The war inside my mind shouldn't take too long, the 'Buy it' side usually wins. hehehe

My 'war' was won when one of my mates accidentally backed his ute a little too far... into my car :miner: . lucky was a ute cos the hoods all he got. Anyway, ordered the blazer CF hood. Went to all the trouble of convincing the NTGov, managed to get a letter from the NT roads authority to say they're cool with it :down: (which is still in post apparently). The hood arrived this morning, will be putting it on tonight. Should be able to post pics some time this week. :P

I like it, but I wonder if there is any chance of getting the vents blocked off with removable bits so you can block the holes for when it rains... I really dislike the rain not that I have a vented bonnet... So I block them when I don't need the extra cooling...

I'd be interested to see what PSI had to offer or suggest on the subject of removable blocking plates on vented bonnets. I'm so tempted by this bonnet though looks nice... then I would also have an excuse to get more carbon bits...

ohh carbon eyelids to go with the bonnet, carbon chin or lower front spolier with canards, carbon rear wing, carbon sideskirts, come on PSI get more 33gtst carbon bits, tempt me...

the pics don't do it justice really (camera phone)

Im thinkin of getting some fenders on the car, possibly the veilside style, sprayed the cars silver, widen it up a bit, should contrast it a bit better make the bonnet appear a little smaller and the CF-black-ish a little less controlling

plus gonna do the clear indicators, get rid of the orange on side and front, should look schmick then

I was thinking about the rain, where the vents are anything electrical underneath seems covered or wrapped up.

asked a few people what they reckon, i.e. other engineers like myself, mechanics etc. they reckon I should be alright, but we do get some pretty heavy downpoors in the wet, which should start in a few weeks if that

guess I'll find out :cool:

I was actually considering one, but definitely not a fan anymore

What in these pics changed your opinion Dezz?

I'm still undecided, its the rear look i dont like, looking into the vents, and also concerned re water issues.

Without wanting to take away from Blayz's car (he likes how it looks and thats all that matters), the pics of it on his car just don't do anything for me whatsoever. I think it looks so appealing in the PSI photos because its so shaded, and the lack of front bar....one of the toughest photos (imo) of my own car is when it had the front bar and intercooler removed...plastic bags over the piping and all....

I think its just how dark it looks...same with the PSI pic

personally i like the bonnet, however it would only suit a car that is tough already.

A standard kit and car not lowered just wont cut it. Anything fat like trust/doluck/jun front and the rest to match would look awesome

hmm, I was actually looking at the do-luck or JUN kits from PSI, maybe a mix n match of the 2, but will have to save a bit for painting and fitting and delivery up here

So not Mean/Aggressive enough for ya?

maybe its just the stock front bar doesn't match up and takes away from the overall look. When I first saw the PSI pics, I wanted one. Now that I've seen it on Blayz's car I'm not very interested at all...Must be the lack of front bar in the PSI pic....

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
