Yup, there's a number of threads on CF bonnets, but no matter how many there are there's never any info on where to get a Z-tune styled one :kiss:

carmate does the z tune style in both fibre glass and carbon fibre

cost me $2000. its only 2 layers of carbon an weighed between 6-7kg.

Stock bonnet = 25kg approx

fibreglass bonnet = 18kg approx

Jap made carbon bonnet = 15kg approx (there fibreglass bonnets with 1 layer of carbon put on the top side)

GTR alloy bonnets are close in weight to the Jap carbon ones, but....dont fit gts-t's (well the 33 ones dont anyway)

um cost him 1k max from just jap..

Not to sure if they make them for series 2 tho..

This was series 1.5 i believe.. Series 2 are a little different.

Best carbon bonnet i have seen is either east bear stuff..

I remember yonks ago, there was a guy from interstate that made it himself for this 33 gtr.. Maybe search for that thread!!

Heres a few pics of carbon bonnets: Not exactly sure if they are real or just fibreglass.. But just some pics for you!!

But i wouldnt bother with one to be honest, unless its a plan design, without the huge whole in the middle.

Water and other crap will get on top of your engine!!! not good !!

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
