1 place that has fibreglass with carbon fibre layer on top bonnets is unique autosports and they sell for around $1100 but they are in QLD so shipping with sting you also.

I have been trying to source them cheaper from the bodykit manufacturer in know but no luck yet.

They aint true carbon fibre.

It'll be either:

a) a compisite of fibreglass and carbon fibre layer

B) same as "a" with more fibreglass :cheers:

no chance they will be full carbon fibre, your talking $$$ for one retail pricing

Im guessing option "b" :)

Yes i know a 100% dry carbon one is around 4g. :)

Thanks dude.. for your information.

yeah i know it's hard to find a cheap real carbon fibre bonnet at Melbourne, surprised me that no many shops sell them as there are so many skyline fans around.

I definitely need one as I want to reduce the weight in the front part. My brake disc is finally overheated on Sunday at Calder Park after several track day. So today I put on a pair of DBA 4000 series 6 by 6 rotors. I also need a good racing pads... any good suggestions...??

Thanks for the replies guys!!!

Check your PM...cant help you out with a bonnet other then suggest get a GTR one and cut out all the gussets on the underside :D

Fine for track and lighter, and can run your legal std one on the street... drain your windscreen washer bottle for the extra 2kg weight saving :)

As for the seat, i have a spare new Velo (see my sig)... or can get my hands on a carbon/kevlar seat if your after one, they aint cheap though ;)

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
