I'm looking at buying the Blazer style carbon fibre bonnet from PSI parts.

Mentioned in here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ts-t229104.html

If anyone has bought one of these, can you please upload a photo to show it off?

The pic from PSI Parts isnt the best:

Is it just a fibreglass with a layer of CF or is it full CF, probably not for that price eh?

I wouldn't worry about too tough myself...

I'm tempted to replace my current fibreglass bonnet with this one...

Bump!

Surely someone must have bought this bonnet...!

you'll have to give me some time dude, still trying to convince myself that yes I need a different bonnet after already going through the pain of installing aerocatches & getting my FG one painted...

But as soon as I get it I'll send you a picture... The war inside my mind shouldn't take too long, the 'Buy it' side usually wins. hehehe

My 'war' was won when one of my mates accidentally backed his ute a little too far... into my car :miner: . lucky was a ute cos the hoods all he got. Anyway, ordered the blazer CF hood. Went to all the trouble of convincing the NTGov, managed to get a letter from the NT roads authority to say they're cool with it :down: (which is still in post apparently). The hood arrived this morning, will be putting it on tonight. Should be able to post pics some time this week. :P

I like it, but I wonder if there is any chance of getting the vents blocked off with removable bits so you can block the holes for when it rains... I really dislike the rain not that I have a vented bonnet... So I block them when I don't need the extra cooling...

I'd be interested to see what PSI had to offer or suggest on the subject of removable blocking plates on vented bonnets. I'm so tempted by this bonnet though looks nice... then I would also have an excuse to get more carbon bits...

ohh carbon eyelids to go with the bonnet, carbon chin or lower front spolier with canards, carbon rear wing, carbon sideskirts, come on PSI get more 33gtst carbon bits, tempt me...

the pics don't do it justice really (camera phone)

Im thinkin of getting some fenders on the car, possibly the veilside style, sprayed the cars silver, widen it up a bit, should contrast it a bit better make the bonnet appear a little smaller and the CF-black-ish a little less controlling

plus gonna do the clear indicators, get rid of the orange on side and front, should look schmick then

I was thinking about the rain, where the vents are anything electrical underneath seems covered or wrapped up.

asked a few people what they reckon, i.e. other engineers like myself, mechanics etc. they reckon I should be alright, but we do get some pretty heavy downpoors in the wet, which should start in a few weeks if that

guess I'll find out :cool:

I was actually considering one, but definitely not a fan anymore

What in these pics changed your opinion Dezz?

I'm still undecided, its the rear look i dont like, looking into the vents, and also concerned re water issues.

Without wanting to take away from Blayz's car (he likes how it looks and thats all that matters), the pics of it on his car just don't do anything for me whatsoever. I think it looks so appealing in the PSI photos because its so shaded, and the lack of front bar....one of the toughest photos (imo) of my own car is when it had the front bar and intercooler removed...plastic bags over the piping and all....

I think its just how dark it looks...same with the PSI pic

personally i like the bonnet, however it would only suit a car that is tough already.

A standard kit and car not lowered just wont cut it. Anything fat like trust/doluck/jun front and the rest to match would look awesome

hmm, I was actually looking at the do-luck or JUN kits from PSI, maybe a mix n match of the 2, but will have to save a bit for painting and fitting and delivery up here

maybe in a months time or so

have 2 make do for the time being :rofl:

So not Mean/Aggressive enough for ya?

maybe its just the stock front bar doesn't match up and takes away from the overall look. When I first saw the PSI pics, I wanted one. Now that I've seen it on Blayz's car I'm not very interested at all...Must be the lack of front bar in the PSI pic....

    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
