Most of the carbon fibre bonnets in aus arnt the real deal. A Genuine fibre glass bonnet cost into the two thousands.

hmm looks nice, especially on a whitecar.

Wonder how much to deliver to melbourne.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

INASNT i wouldnt mind getting some people together if there is interest would work out cheaper. If it is a good price lets say we get like 5-6people together i would be keen.

Stock R33 bonnet = 18kg

UAS c/f bonnet = 10kg

Thats not true c/f either, so for alittle bit more in Japan you could get a real c/f bonnet which would probably be

[Guest INASNT]

wonder if any of the NSW guys have bought one from UAS, they would tell us the weight and if its worth it.

[benm]

We have already established (above) that the weight is 10kg vs 18kg.

If you are buying it purely for weight saving then don't bother ($1,100 for 8kg ur kidding right.. go on a diet for a week). But if you are buying it for the looks or extra cooling vents then they are fantastic.

[Guest INASNT]

i would mainly buy coz it would make the car look different from all the other white skylines lurking around victoria.

Most of the Aussie "CF" bonnets are carmate copies and the like.

Mine is a Bomex type unit and it's actually a bit better than the average one but it's still a cheap copy (not a true Jap CF).
