Dont mind nights, but it takes a while to get used to it. Interest...you bet :happy:

If the price is right.... :wub:

CF 32 wing from Custom Carbon...mmmm depends on what you mean by "right". I'm sure it will be cheaper than the Electra but off similar quality...I hope *waits for Noy to bring the joy*

i would be interested in a stock 32 GTR wing in CF. as I love the stock look of my car, but the standard wing is damn heavy.

justin, I have the rear edge of my bonnet spaced up for heat extraction. to be honest I have NFI if it works or not as I've always had it that way. I can say that I've never had engine (either coolant or oil) temp issues so I leave it as it is. the only downside is people always asking me if my bonnet is closed...

i don't mind the shift sports bonnet, and I personally don't like the front bonnet lip. looks very tacked on imo and doesn't really fit the look of the car for me. but each to their own!

Okay guys talked to Custom Carbon today and if the interest is there Stock look wings in Carbon could be done

good news is if we could get say half a dozen people interested he would be keen, only catch

this may mean interested enough to put down deposits the whole bit not just yea im keen then fall off at the last minute.

Price looks to be about $1500ish will confirm price once he has had time to have a good long look at wing and how they can mould what is a fairly complex shape.

Reason for the deposit As they dont have a mould and would have to make one up at approx. $3500 cost to them so they need rock solid commitment from us if this is to happen.

So the details are not set in stone yet but not far off so if u really r keen post up I will read the group buy rules thing and see how we r meant to go about this and will link in the group buy if this gets off the ground

So is anyone else keen?

Edited by noone
electra is dry carbon, and custom carbon is wet (as far as i know).

will look different i think

we do not use pre-preg all carbon we use is DRY... just to verify

The Shift Sports bonnet is nice, the weave is amazingly tight up close and the bonnet is so thin you can see the sun through it literally!

um if you can see through it then its only 1 layer of carbon with fibreglass used as the rest of the laminate..

So i've been away for a week enjoying my birthday up at coolum... went skydiving etc etc AWESOME..

Now its time to get back to business, i see someone rang jason and sorted the 32 GTR OEM wing out..I spoke with him earlier tonight and he confirmed the $3500 moulding costs.. so i guess the more people getting one of these the cheaper it will be.. once the mould is paid for in full work will start immediately on the mould and then the first part..

I wondered when you would poke your head in Noy. :D

Noone: Do you have an exact number of wings we need to confirm prior to CC comencing work on the mould and therefore the final cost per unit and thanks for the leg work on this buy.

...i've got carbon fever :D

As posted I was told half dozen though as Noy posted more would be better thought there would b at least half dozen interested though has not happened yet if looks no better later today might have to make a new post as I think maybe people are not reading the first two pages to get to here???

Have had 1 other maybe interested via pm maybe pm anyone you think may be interested, might have to ring Jason today so will pose the question again about numbers even with 3 definites pretty sure others will be interested if this goes ahead more would obviously be better

Sorry lads been away for a few days.

The Chairman is in pending final $$... so is the cost of each final part $1500 (inc GST?), or are we just paying for the mould then more for the part??

Oh YEAH DUFFMAN

PS Sorry Noy - my post edited for Dry carbon :no:

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
