Have alot of them for sale otherwise a couple of bodykit shops in every state usually have them. I assume your in Japan??? you should have a shitload over there to choose from..

Stock R33 bonnet = 18kg

UAS c/f bonnet = 10kg

Thats not true c/f either, so for alittle bit more in Japan you could get a real c/f bonnet which would probably be :D

We have already established (above) that the weight is 10kg vs 18kg.

If you are buying it purely for weight saving then don't bother ($1,100 for 8kg ur kidding right.. go on a diet for a week). But if you are buying it for the looks or extra cooling vents then they are fantastic.

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
