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..

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
