I'm after a carbon fibre bonnet for my R32 GTR which is the same shape and style as the original. I like the standard look so vented bonnets are not an option. The bonnet will get sprayed the same colour as my car.

Anyone know who or if anyone sells them?

Thanks

95% of the carbon fiber bonnets out there weigh more then a stock gtr bonnet,

(gtr bonnet made from alloy weighs bout 7kg)

cause there mostly fibler glass with a layer of carbon to give you the look

100% carbon bonnets are very expensive and the cost of losing a couple of k gs arnt worth it

Cheers for that mate, very good to know.

The reason I asked, I have about 8 carpark sized dents on my original bonnet (from hail storm damage here in Perth, it's the only damage on car thankfully) and thought that going carbon fibre would be a better option than repairing but obviously not considering no gains.

Do you know if these dents can be removed from an alloy bonnet?

Thanks

depends on the damage.. i would talk to a paintless dent repair place first.. see what they can do.. if not go see a panel beater.. see if they can fix it.. car bog will increase the weight so make sure they arent some dodgy f**k and just bog the shit outta it..

alternatively see if you can find a GTR bonnet from wreckers/seller..

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
