Carbon Goods For R32/r33/r34/s15/s14/ct9A Evo7-9 Round 2 Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

Ended up getting some of the 3m double sided tape. It feels to be on quite sturdily at the moment, but I bought the white stuff so you can see a bit of it in places. Looks a bit ghey.

Happy New Year all!

Any interest for more CF stuff for early feb-march?

please note they close for 2weeks in china due to chinese new years...

Would be keen if they can do ztune skirts and pods for GTT

Scratch the pods, just need the skirts...Does anyone know if the GTR item is a straight fit for GTT?

On another note, I have my 34 GTR rear pods in FRP for sale from this GB - same as GTRSean's above. PM if interested.

not sure if GTR skirts will fit GTT, Clint.

i will add your sale add to my next GB to help you sell it mate.

Nothing new Jacque :(

i'm gonna order some stuff for my Evo so seeing if anyone else wants in on anything.

Forgot to post in here, but I fitted my cf cooling panel a few weeks ago. Fitment is pretty much spot on, couple of holes were a bit out and two of the bolts could do with a spacer or some washers, but otherwise it is good, much better than I was expecting:

Haven't fitted the headlight intake yet, might do that next week and report back.

Had a bit of time this morning so I got round to this. Unfortunately I have to say the fitment of the headlight intake is woeful. So much so that I don't think I will even bother reinstalling it for track days or Powercruise, it makes the whole car look cheap.

First I had to cut a bit of the intake section off to clear the charcoal canister. No big deal, but anyone that's worked with carbon fibre before will understand why I'd rather avoid having to cut it...

Then the mounting tabs were a fair way out, they only juuust line up enough to drill a hole and get a bolt in. You can also see in this picture how the whole thing sits about 2cm too far forward on the inside (left of picture), but only just lines up (and poorly) on the outside:

A clearer shot of how far forward it sits:

Here you can see how poor the fitment is on the outside edge:

And this is what puts me off reinstalling it. Massive gaps between the headlight and bonnet/front bar. Looks terrible:

A pity because I think it would have looked mighty tough if it wasn't for those gaps:

Also, because there is no mounting tab on the outside edge, the whole thing rattles around a fair bit once bolted in. Could be pretty easily fixed by drilling a whole in the front bar and cable tying it, but I wasn't willing to wreck my front bar considering the thing doesn't look good anyway. Can't say I recommend anyone gets one of these unless you don't care too much how it looks.

thanks for the pics Hanaldo and sorry to hear about the fitment.

is your bonnet fully closed on the last pic?

in this pic;

was there a way you could've moved it back a cm or so?

would it of cleared the cooling panel?

probably drill a hole at the intake and cable tie it above to the hole on the rad support to stop the rattling, so there's no need to drill into your front bar.

I'll ask another member to see how fitment went on theirs as he got one too but in Fibreglass version.

Nah not a problem man, at least the cooling panel fits well and looks awesome :D The headlight intake was just for a bit of fun, unfortunately it didn't work out to well but no biggy :)

The bonnet is fully closed in that last pic, yeh. The gap is terrible I know. As for moving it back, unfortunately not. As you can see, I lined up the outside edge as best I could with the fender. With that lined up, everything else was off. If I tried to line up the inside wedge with the front bar, then the outside edge pushed out. It clears the cooling panel no problem.

As for the rattling, it's the outside edge that moves around a bit and rattles against the fender because there is no mounting tab on that side of the headlight. So I would need to drill a hole in the front bar and cable tie that side of it down so that it is mounted on all sides.

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
