Hi Guys,

well i'm thinking of getting a nice bonnet such as a carbon fibre or the 400R replica for my GTST. It is a burgundy colour but I can't find any pics as to what a carbon fibre or any other aftermarket bonnet would look like on mine.

Due to my lack of imagination can anybody out there pppwwweeaassseee help me find some pics of a aftermarket bonnet on a burgundy R33 and paste em?

Does any body have a particular bonnet they like?

Oh and also while I am at it any nice rear wings... i do like the standard whale tail but something not too out there would be nice GTR rear wing is a bit too common for my liking..any cool pics of that aswell?

Thanks in advance for your help:uh-huh:

Very nice! I think that must be the one from the front of the SPEED mag last month! 308rwkw aint bad!

Yeah i do like that bonnet! might send them an e-mail aswell.

As a cheaper alternative would most spoiler stores be able to get my standard bonnet to look like that? Obviously not the carbo fibre look but basically i do like the vents! off the top of your head any idea of the cost for that?

UAS had carbon bonnets for the R33 GTs-T available a week or 2 ago. Asking around the $1000 mark so that should give u an indication of the costs involved for a CF bonnet ;) If I remember correctly, BY BY was Mr Dealer :)

Yepz, same car. i've got the mag. :)

It's basically the same bonnet as BY BY's. Alot of fibreglass

would be involved, and i personally would rather have the

option of changing the whole bonnet and only paying a bit

extra for it.

If your after a CF.. I recommend speaking to BY BY. He's the

CF bonnet king! ;)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
