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.

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.

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.

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.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
