Carbon Fibre Supra

That Supra is supposedly Carbon Fibre and 1287 kg which is a HUGE weight loss, that's with the roll cage. Apparely they did this "CUSTOM" carbon job themselves, say I could find a fabricator, would the cost go down and/or would the quality of the carbon parts become low? I'm generally talking about carbon by the way so whatever the car.

If you found a really good fabricator.. And he was gay.. And you blew him 4 times a day.. And gargled just to show off.. Maybe.. And then maybe he will spend the hours upon hours of making all the items.. Even then he'll prob wanna claim your virginity

it say right on that page that they spent 30,000 dollars to do it themselves. So right there is you cost of materials. Do you have 30,000 to throw at an already 30,000 dollar car? well now add 30,000 more because that's probably what it would take to have someone slave over this. I'm done with this thread.

I know you're talking about the R34 but have you considered the R32 with the price saving and already lighter weight? Most track and drag owners use the R32 for the very purpose of going lightweight. Also, you don't have to replace EVERY part with a carbon counterpart, sometimes carbon isn't always better especially when compared to air ;-)

Having said that, $10k is a great deal considering the asking prices of reprays around here!

carbon doors - there were many to choose from starting at around 2000 for the shitty seibon ones which they say are bolt on no problems but believe me there is alot of f**kiong around the best ones i found were from sunline also but u r looking at 3000-4000

Were the Seibon carbon doors no good? Are they 100% carbon fibre or are they fibreglass with carbon skin?

I thought they were a good product...

i only found a couple of companies thaty made the full door out of carbon, price was extremely high over 5000, the seibon ones thet i have played around with on my mates evo were the biggest flamin mongrel of a thing to fit, they say straight fit so they should bolt on and a lil massage and they should fit yeah....dicks mate...this thing was at the panel shop for 3 weeks just for the doors.

I mean produce the carbon parts yourself.

Carbon can be expensive depending on the Type, and Labour even more if getting parts manufactured through companies.

The only other thing you can do is Barter...

What do you do for a living? I will be starting to mold R34 GTR parts in the coming months.

What did you mean by "build the carbon yourself", I can't do it that's for sure but even if I found someone who can, isn't the cost of the material the issue or is labor what makes them so expensive?

    • Yeah this confirms what I was thinking. Volks are worth a crap load more than my M Sport 17s and 2500 is nuts!  240 is crazy cheap, was this 20 years ago? I have a fairly good air compressor so I'm tempted to get an eBay sand blaster. 
    • I got a quote to restore a set of Volk racing gtc wheels at a wheel restoration shop which involved repainting the centres fixing some small gutter rash and repolishing them and the quote was $2.5k I ended up getting them sandblasted and powdercoated for $240  
    • Nismo 300km/h speedo for R33 gtst in GTR cluster.
    • Has anybody had their wheels refurbished? I reckon it's likely bloody expensive. Even a sand blasting quote for my 17s was 200-300 per wheel! The E39 wheels are basic BMW M Sport (or M Tech at the time.) they have slight rash and some have signs of bad repair in the past on the lips. The main issue is that they've become really off coloured.  I think it will be too much as this is definitely (supposed to be) a budget resto. I've been looking at others for sale but they all have some minor damage and colour issues.  In the end I think I'll just need to sand blast them myself and do a respray.  
    • Trying to figure out which nismo cluster i have. All the ones i see on the internet, the speedo goes up to 320kph and the revs 11k, with the nismo logo being on the rev gauge only. But on my one, the speedo goes up to 300 and says nismo, while the revs only go upto 10k and no nismo logo Dunno how to embed pics into a post so ill attach pic of my cluster and generic google search for reference Is what i have genuine?
