Hey guys just got a project going on just looking to see if people know where I can find parts listed below or who can sell them?

- R34 Z-Tune Side Skirts (Carbon Fibre)

- R33 Door Cards (Carbon Fibre)

- R34 Front Splitter (Carbon Fibre)

- R33 Duck Wing (Carbon Fibre)

- R33-34 Front Guards

Basically this is a 33 that will be having a 34 front conversion done thats why there's difference on parts...

Cheers in advance

You know carbon fibre is illegal right(body panels etc).

You should probably think before you type such rubbish.

- R34 Z-Tune Side Skirts (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

- R33 Door Cards (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

- R34 Front Splitter (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

- R33 Duck Wing (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

The front guards might be an issue but are no more of an issue than people putting fibreglass gaurds on a skyline.

Fare enough, my bad

Nuh the conversion guards would be fibre glass not c/f as the whole cars being resprayed quad layer white pearlescent to show off the c/f accessories :(

The main c/f parts cops harass u about is the bonnet when people dont secure then properly as they are lightweight and under pressure can come off and its happened to my mate

An aftermarket fibreglass/carbon fibre bonnet is mainly illegal because you are replacing a main crumble zone of the vehicle. Since your car was factory crash tested with it's factory bonnet, having an aftermarket brittle carbon/fibreglass bonnet on it changes everything in the event of a crash.

Manufacturers rather cars be crashed head on, hence why cars are usually built to understeer. You have a higher chance of surviving a crash front on as there is more of the cars body to absorb the impact and distribute the energy. Obviously there are a lot of exotic cars with carbon bonnets, however they have been crash tested with them and built accordingly.

Actually our cars have not been crash tested, skylines end up with engines in the drivers compartment on impact serious enough. Hence why they are not legal in the US (unless reinforced) We dont have a legal requirement for crash tests. Just recommendations

But its more to do with quality and shattering of the fibres and harming people and the fact they like to bring in laws.

We can supply you with the Carbon Duck Wing, will be back in stock in the coming weeks. They are $299 and available to purchase directly from our website: http://www.psiparts.com.au/detail.htm?ProductID=R33S-DWNG-CF

BTW: PM-R33, that has to be the first intelligent post about Carbon Bonnets I have seen in a long time. For some reason I keep seeing comments about carbon bonnets turning into ninja stars and killing people within a 100m radius of the crash site. :)

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
