What don't you like about the vents? Is it that most stick out and doesn't really match the look of the R33.

Mine came from Custom Carbon, i believe they are located in QLD. Not the cheapest bonnet, but it's all carbon, not just a carbon top skin. The bonnet has vents, but i can't see why they couldn't make one without vents. The fit is spot on, couldn't be happier.

if he's like me he doesnt like the contents under the bonnet getting exposed to water every time it rains (or even now when the temperature is lower and dew is around at nights)....

only vent i want is something small over the air filter, like one wrx rail vent (not the scoop).

All the bonnets ive come across have too many vents and scoops.....

Al, what do they roughly charge for their bonnets? Do they literally make whatever you want?

The one i have is real carbon and can be purchased new for about $2600 delivered. I bought mine 2nd hand for half that :down:

Don't think they make "whatever you want", I may be wrong though, as they may make to order. The guy that bought my bonnet originally wanted the extra vents behind the radiator and they did them for him.

im just not interested in having vents in my bonnet, not even the vent over my air filter because it will still cause my car to suck up water, maybe just a single small vent in the back corner but i dont really like that idea either. i want the car to be practical too.

im also trying to rip as much weight off the car as possible, when the CF bonnet comes it will be sprayed the same colour as the car so it wont stand out as CF - im a bit over all of the showey mods, i just want something lighter. i've ripped around 50-60kg off the car already, another 10-15kg off the front would be good.

I have always wanted a cf bonnet with no vents for my r32! Not sure where to get one either?? Anyone got one in oz or do they not exist?

They definately make them for R32 GTS-T as i have one on my car! Exactly the same as the factory bonnet... but CF! Not sure who makes them though, I bought mine 2nd hand from subie on this forum. He may be able to point you in the right direction. :banana:

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
