Hey guys just got a project going on just looking to see if people know where I can find parts listed below or who can sell them?

- R34 Z-Tune Side Skirts (Carbon Fibre)

- R33 Door Cards (Carbon Fibre)

- R34 Front Splitter (Carbon Fibre)

- R33 Duck Wing (Carbon Fibre)

- R33-34 Front Guards

Basically this is a 33 that will be having a 34 front conversion done thats why there's difference on parts...

Cheers in advance

You know carbon fibre is illegal right(body panels etc).

You should probably think before you type such rubbish.

- R34 Z-Tune Side Skirts (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

- R33 Door Cards (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

- R34 Front Splitter (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

- R33 Duck Wing (Carbon Fibre) - NOT ILLEGAL

The front guards might be an issue but are no more of an issue than people putting fibreglass gaurds on a skyline.

Fare enough, my bad

Nuh the conversion guards would be fibre glass not c/f as the whole cars being resprayed quad layer white pearlescent to show off the c/f accessories :(

The main c/f parts cops harass u about is the bonnet when people dont secure then properly as they are lightweight and under pressure can come off and its happened to my mate

An aftermarket fibreglass/carbon fibre bonnet is mainly illegal because you are replacing a main crumble zone of the vehicle. Since your car was factory crash tested with it's factory bonnet, having an aftermarket brittle carbon/fibreglass bonnet on it changes everything in the event of a crash.

Manufacturers rather cars be crashed head on, hence why cars are usually built to understeer. You have a higher chance of surviving a crash front on as there is more of the cars body to absorb the impact and distribute the energy. Obviously there are a lot of exotic cars with carbon bonnets, however they have been crash tested with them and built accordingly.

Actually our cars have not been crash tested, skylines end up with engines in the drivers compartment on impact serious enough. Hence why they are not legal in the US (unless reinforced) We dont have a legal requirement for crash tests. Just recommendations

But its more to do with quality and shattering of the fibres and harming people and the fact they like to bring in laws.

We can supply you with the Carbon Duck Wing, will be back in stock in the coming weeks. They are $299 and available to purchase directly from our website: http://www.psiparts.com.au/detail.htm?ProductID=R33S-DWNG-CF

BTW: PM-R33, that has to be the first intelligent post about Carbon Bonnets I have seen in a long time. For some reason I keep seeing comments about carbon bonnets turning into ninja stars and killing people within a 100m radius of the crash site. :)

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
