Custom Carbon Components and ccubed are one and the same.

Although I have heard and seen some great results from them, I have also been involved with a project that wasn't delivered particularly well by them, disappointingly as their workmanship appears to be great for some clients.

Topstage here in Melbourne do fantastic carbon work. They've just opened up a new shop, and look to be doing a heap of work on GT3, Sports Sedans and other top race cars: http://www.topstage.com/

Freddy the owner is a great guy to boot :P

Front lips in carbon do look good, but not really practical at all in my opinion. Very expensive part to damage considering it will be the first thing to go if you misjudge a driveway/come off the track etc Nothing beats rubber!

I'd only run a fancy lower lip if you have a nice sturdy undertray snuggled in behind the return of the lower lip.

I run a custom one layer (yes, 1) fibreglass GTR style front bar on mine and it's weak as piss on its own, but quite sturdy once supported by the alloy undertray.

You can still easily chip the extreme lower edge of the lip, and it will stick out like you know what on carbon.

..... just sayin.

At least it's not so noticeable on fibreglass as it would be on carbon. I thought about one for the STi but went for the factory option lip instead and it's much nicer. It is however cracking the paint on the front bar in some spots from the forces put against it, but I can live with that.

I accidentally tapped a gutter when parking one day, and ended up with a few scrapes on it. If it was carbon it would have been destroyed!

agree on the carbon lip thing though. I have 3/4 of an R32 GTR carbon front lip at home that proves the theory. the other 1/4 is somewhere in the infield at eastern creek if anyone wants to fetch it for me.

      Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
