Terry you thread-grave digger... tsk tsk tsk..

I wana see a pic of what you guys are all talking about, must be good..

Oh and if it is the blade on the gtr that your talking about, tangomatt has one on his r34 gtr spoiler

Those real CF GTR spoiler blades cost heaps, I think $600-1000?

Here's an alternative option lol:

I've wrapped a R34 GTR spoiler blade, have also done a R33 GTR spoiler blade.

And it's like 1/5 of the cost of a real one? :laugh:

After reading Tangomatts R34 build, I went looking for CF Nismo one and choked on my coffee when I saw the price.......US $1400

Yeah.... Definitely not cheap... Even cheaper brands are still expensive.

nismo blade is full dry carbon - the bonnets you're referring to are fibreglass with 1 or 2 sheets of cf ontop - huge difference, and hence, huge difference in price.

full dry carbon parts are ultra $$ regardless of size/shape etc

gohan is correct

i nearly bought a sunline racing japan carbon bonnet for my r34 and they r priced depending on how light u go.

they start at 3000 and got to 5000 then add shipping etc and u have one very expensive bonnet.

proper carbon from japan is ridiculously expensive.

    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
