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..

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
