Carbon Fibre Bonnet for R33 GTS/GTSt

[funkymonkey]

Hey guys, one of the suppliers we use at work just informed me that he has CF bonnets available. So I went and checked it out. Turns out the bonnets aren't 100% CF but a single layer of carbon fibre on a fibreglass base and a layer of clear coat to make it look pretty. Was talking to the supplier and he mentioned that they supplied Kamikaze and a few other online shops.

Anyways, the trade price on these is $650 with GST included. Cost of shipping to NSW from VIC is around $50 as a guide with insurance.

It comes with a 1 year manufacture quality warranty. If anyone's interested in them I can put an order in for em and have em sent out directly to you.

The only model they have for Nissans is this one, but they plan on getting others done. Will see if I can get pics too.

are CF bonnets legal and will insurance companies cover them/your car if you have it on?

[allblitz]

is it a series1 or series2 bonnet?

[funkymonkey]

All valid questions (completely skipped my mind to check which series it was too), will try to grab some pics of them during lunchtime tomorrow.

No vents, looks exatly like the factory one, but with a CF skin, and insurance dosen't cover CF bonnets from memory.

Is there anything in particular that you guys want photos of, as I don't want the trip to the warehouse to be a waste of time. Also if you guys want to co-ordinate amongst yourselves to get some group orders I can try to see if I can get them for a cheaper price.

AllBlitz... supplier's well... its not you guys If you're concerned about proft margins I think I make about $15 on em... I think that's fair for the time and effort I put into organising it.

[allblitz]

Hehehe. I dont mind you making money out of it dude, in fact you deserve to be paid for your efforts. Reason i asked, i wouldnt mind going to check them out for myself, and perhaps advertising them on my site.

i'm interested, would like to see pics first tho (on a car if possible).

also, do they require bonnet pins / modification to the latch to fit?

will need series 2 bonnet.

[Nozila]

this may be a little of topic but is there any chance of being able to get masa vents like the ones you see on some drift s15's.

[Husky33]

Yup if u can get them for series 2 i'm in

[funkymonkey]

sorry, haven't had time to go to the warehouse to get pics. I can tell you that they are Series 1 only.

The only bonnet available for a Skyline is the R33 Series 1 bonnet, with no vents etc, with all the same structure and layout as a standard bonnet.

They plan on getting others done hey? Well if they get the R32 done ill be interested, esp in GTR style. Also guys, you can get the drift style bonnet vents from JMS. I saw them on the website the otherday.
