Hey Guys,

So I've been chatting with a guy who does some pretty interesting motorsport stuff and has some useful contacts in the relevant industries.

We got talking about Carbon Fibre, and he has contacts that specialise in manufacture anything in Carbon.

Structural parts, decorative elements, panels; anything. One offs, and multiples.

Is there any particular accessories that people would like me to enquire about?

I was thinking that if there was enough demand for specific things like ducts, trim pieces, bonnets, wings, or whatever, I could organise a group buy and save us a bucket of money.

I know I'd like to have a raw Carbon Nismo rear wing, but I'm sure there's other things that people are after.

Anyway, have a think about it, and let me know either through the thread, or by PM if you prefer.

Cheers, Dale.

Is this the guy that was going to do the suction pipes originally? His got an axis?

If so don't hold you breath and be prepared for 50 million questions on how to fix his car with no sign of return. His a gunna and his using you for info or something else!

Hmmm, I thought this would rear its head after the issues that you & Andy had.

They have recognised that there were issues with the way they were dealing with their potential customers; in their own words "Our speciality is Carbon, not remembering to chase up customers and answering the phone" I think that's true for most specialists in motorsport; customer service comes second to the product.

Especially with the experience you had; they were in the midst of 2 Superlap builds worth huge dollars, both to the customers involved, and to the future of their business and a showcase of their ability.

I spoke with him pretty directly about your previous experience; and that is exactly why he is involved with them now.

He believes that the issues from before won't be a problem, as he now manages that side of the business.

Anyway, I'm putting it out there as it was a service offered to me; if people don't want to use it, or can't decide what they want, then so be it.

It may happen that any Group Buy will come to nothing; but given my experience and track record, I thought it was worth a try...

He can ask me all the questions in the world; I'm not particularly useful anyway...

Meh. If it works out too expensive, so be it. If we can use our collective buying power to get a decent price through volume, or at least get someone making this kind of stuff for the M35, then that would be awesome. But we don't know until we get more info and give it a crack.

guage cluster LOL for both the tv section and the top glovebox :ninja:

Too hard basket mate? :P

Thats a good idea, but how would you design it so it doesn't look like an after thought? Not sure it'd work with the Aero bar?

you could cut out the inprinted area and design it so it replaces that section. Only food for thought

Ah yeah, diffuser to clip over the top of the aero bar (I wouldn't want to cut mine). Looks good.

As for that gauge pod, I think it sticks out far enough that you could replace the glove box cover but keep the DVD drive where it is. That would be awesome since you never use the DVD drive anyway, just need it plugged in.

maybe a stagea version of this

like the idea not sure how effective it at actually is

I have one of those on mine (aluminium, not c/f), someone on here used to make them. They are excellent for holding tools while working under the bonnet, no sign of whether it actually helps cool the engine or not.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
