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

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....

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
