Hi guys,

Just wanted to get some eoi of what carbon fibre parts ppl would be interested in.  

I and a couple of friends are able to fabricate parts out of carbon fibre would like to find out what kind of parts everyone would need. We're thinking of smaller sized parts not the obvious Bonnets and that, which we can do as well.  

Just a note: my friend (the main fabricator) has a lot of experience with carbon fibre, including helping build the UWA motorsport car (carbon fibre monocoque chassis - yes same as F1) so they will be of proffessional quality.

Some possible ideas.. carbon fibre surrounds for rear lights, mudflap surrounds, front light surrounds, eyelids, etc..

hey Quink,

I would be interested in the following parts for an R33 S1

-Air-Box

-Eye Lids

-Headlight (the ones which u remove ur headlight and it is just like an air-duct to filter, if photos needed will post)

-Flat Boot (very very interested in this)

-Mudflaps would also be cool

-read lights surronds and front lights too

-Engine Cover RB25det

-GTR style grill to suit gts-t

Hey guys, thanks for the replies and keep them coming..

Well i'm meeting up with my friend today with these suggestions and get a rough (note very rough) cost vs construction method write up for you guys and whether u'd still be interested.

It seems the most popular suggestion is the R33 Flat boot lid, with 5-6 ppl already very interested.

Just a couple of points to remember is if u just want a skin on top of fibreglass etc.. its gonna be a hella lot cheaper than a fully carbon one.. as well as building a fully functional carbon fibre door instead of just a eyelid... Price vs Weight vs Complexity.. will be the key issue here..

Well i would like R32 GTR style bonnet, carbon skin just fine......hell im looking to buy just a plain fibreglas one with some choice drift style vents etc.....then just spray entire car....basicly....cheap is GOOD :P

I'm down for a flat boot, dont care if its fibreglass or carbon fibre

Hi I am interested in an R32GTR airbox to suit Apexi pods. preferably carbon fibre side(s) and perspex top (so the filters can still be seen/inspected).

there are a few designs around and I could send you a link if you want to have a look.

I'm sure there is plenty of R32GTR owners with Apexi pods who would buy one.

I would be happy with a Flat boot with cf layer, or just full cf :D

understand what you are saying quink :P i'd go either a fibreglass flat boot with a cf layer or full carbon but would prefer full carbon and be prepared to pay for the time and effort if the quality was good, which from the sound of it, it would be.

:D

I'd be up for a skin bonnet and r32 GTR grill for sure. (cheap is good, but I'd like a full carbon price....)

Also some gauge holders would be heaps useful.

Pod box :)

Eyelids would also be awesome. Cheers champ!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
