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?

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
