Well,

Top Secret Front and rear diffusers made 100% Carbon not the 1 layer crap Top Secret supply

Carbon Fibre Z tune lower side skirts and rear pods

Carbon Fibre Nismo Front bar ducts the 2 that go on the standard front bar

Looking at doing something with the rear wing too

There's a good start for the outside,

Just gotta make some time to do it, working on a Carbon Fibre R32 GTR dash currently

Oooh, let me know if/when you look at doing anything carbon for intake - hint: carbon pod enclosure

I got the same pods as you, and i was looking at doing something. just not sure what.

just working out the legality of pods. mine are securely bolted to the chassis with brackets, but can you still get booked for not being enclosed?

no the undertray front splitter, but if you can PM me all the parts you can do for a 33 as I want to add some more carbon to my cars diet :laugh:

Also i will have to PM you about a repair for a garage defend panel that was damaged in transport. But I will take some shots first.

So bit of an update time....

As some of you know my car got rear ended in March... stupid commonwhore driver.

I was really worried that the paint was going to be the biggest challenge but the challenge was sourcing new parts.

After tsunami's and stupid customs the parts finally arrived...

There is 3 Companies I need to give a plug to and thank them for being as patient as me during the 6 months.

1- Chris @ Audio Express My link for sourcing new parts from Japland through the mayhem of tsunami's and Melbourne customs brokers, the parts got here and now my car fixed. I have now got the Carbon bug once again.....

2- Grant @ Exclusive Auto, Newstead My link They perfectly matched the Midnight Purple III paint and repaired my car.

3- Les @ Fat Pipes, Kallangur My link They built me a beautiful new exhaust which is much better than the original Kakimoto system I had.

Here is a few pics to update where I'm up to, including pics of the new exhaust. I will get better pics when I put it up on the hoist to do my brakes.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
