Hi Fellas,

I have a CF bonnet that recently suffered a small stone chip to the front corner edges of it. I was wondering if there is any 'CF looking' patch up material that I can use to patch it up and then paint over it with some clear Resin or something? I am not after a 100% fix, but would like to patch it up a bit.

I heard there is something you can buy from Autobarn or Bunnings which can be easily applied on to fix. Please advise if this is possible?

Many thanks fellas...also, whilst I'm at it...anyone know where I can buy some non-rust bonnet pins? Whether they be flush or the classic-looking ones.

SM

take some closer shots of it

but no, i dont think there arent any carbon fibre "patch" kits - but yes you could roughen the surface adn apply a new layer of the surfboard resin as per the carbon overlay thread in the fabrication section.

Hi mate, thanks for that... I was also thinking of sanding it down lightly and then touching it up with some grey touch-up paint and then apply a clear coat of Resin, what do you think?

take the gtr badge off and ppl may help you

lol

Looks like you purchased it damaged? Fingers crossed that means you scored it for a lower price. Fixing it is probably gonna turn out worse then just leaving it.

Just enjoy the price you got it for, and its probably gonna end up getting cracked again at some stage anyway!

Hahaha...the picture is of the guy that was selling it...not on my car...not my GTR badge ... LOL

I got it at a very good price on ebay off this very nice guy... It was sold at a descent price, however, I still want it fixed... and will try to even if it cracks again...any one that has some knowledge of where to buy CF sheets, please do let me know....

Thanks mate..

proberbly easyier to just fix it with resin then paint it the same colour as ur car

Mate, you read my mind - I was thinking the same actually..but the CF look is just so nice... might have to buy a CF material sheet...does anyone know where I can get one?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
