Carbon Fibre Supra

That Supra is supposedly Carbon Fibre and 1287 kg which is a HUGE weight loss, that's with the roll cage. Apparely they did this "CUSTOM" carbon job themselves, say I could find a fabricator, would the cost go down and/or would the quality of the carbon parts become low? I'm generally talking about carbon by the way so whatever the car.

If you found a really good fabricator.. And he was gay.. And you blew him 4 times a day.. And gargled just to show off.. Maybe.. And then maybe he will spend the hours upon hours of making all the items.. Even then he'll prob wanna claim your virginity

it say right on that page that they spent 30,000 dollars to do it themselves. So right there is you cost of materials. Do you have 30,000 to throw at an already 30,000 dollar car? well now add 30,000 more because that's probably what it would take to have someone slave over this. I'm done with this thread.

I know you're talking about the R34 but have you considered the R32 with the price saving and already lighter weight? Most track and drag owners use the R32 for the very purpose of going lightweight. Also, you don't have to replace EVERY part with a carbon counterpart, sometimes carbon isn't always better especially when compared to air ;-)

Having said that, $10k is a great deal considering the asking prices of reprays around here!

carbon doors - there were many to choose from starting at around 2000 for the shitty seibon ones which they say are bolt on no problems but believe me there is alot of f**kiong around the best ones i found were from sunline also but u r looking at 3000-4000

Were the Seibon carbon doors no good? Are they 100% carbon fibre or are they fibreglass with carbon skin?

I thought they were a good product...

i only found a couple of companies thaty made the full door out of carbon, price was extremely high over 5000, the seibon ones thet i have played around with on my mates evo were the biggest flamin mongrel of a thing to fit, they say straight fit so they should bolt on and a lil massage and they should fit yeah....dicks mate...this thing was at the panel shop for 3 weeks just for the doors.

I mean produce the carbon parts yourself.

Carbon can be expensive depending on the Type, and Labour even more if getting parts manufactured through companies.

The only other thing you can do is Barter...

What do you do for a living? I will be starting to mold R34 GTR parts in the coming months.

What did you mean by "build the carbon yourself", I can't do it that's for sure but even if I found someone who can, isn't the cost of the material the issue or is labor what makes them so expensive?

noy cuz thats 2 bro :/

give me a couple days i reckon we can get more kents involved in this bro.

i want the first one but haha

jks

let me know what u do for the gtr's and well go from there im happy to be ur test whore :P

Yeah i'm pretty keen on any 34 GTR stuff, just gotta get my hands on some spare parts.

My GTR should arrive in Oz tomorrow, so i should get cracking on finding some donor parts to mold.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
