I was looking into getting a carbon bonnet for my S2, but they are seem to be crazy expensive.

I got quoted $2500 or fibre reinforced plasic for $1500.

Anyone seen any better deals??

"DOLPHIN carbon bonnet series (M35 stay Zia / C34 stay Zia / Y11 wing road) cancels release now"

mines been sprayed, but that model looks exactly like it... does it mean mine IS carbon fibre?

i was gonna try and get new bonnet pins as mine are a tad corroded and very squeaky. :)

i might try and contact them for a spare part.. :thumbsup:

How heavy is it when you lift it?

If it is CF, and I suspect it is, it should be pretty damn light

yeah it weighs next to nothing compared to a normal bonnet. even has a tendancy to rattle abit at 110 if its windy / turbulent.

i can see what the bonnet pins are there for :thumbsup:

i wonder why mine was sprayed.. i happen to like that nice carbon fibre look of the other one..

i presume if i stripped it i could get that look ? :)

I think it looks better black... It is your car though.

BUT just remember that CF bonnets a cop & defect magnet in VIC. Even you have a RWC. (something about a lack of crumple zones in CF bonnets)

At least you stand a bit more of a chance if it is the same colour as the rest of your car.

if i have any trouble in VIC cos of all my mods and get canaries. (none so far and i hope it stays that way), i'll take it to TAS.

get it Rego'd (with a custom plate) (they register pretty much anything there) and then drive it back :P (my parents live therE :) )

problem solved.!?? anyone thought about doing that?? haha :)

      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!
