loooove te bonnet!!

as you mentioned it fibreglass with carbon fibre on top of it....

where is it from... would be nice to get one and instead of drawing to much cop attention have it painted same colour as the car.. would look schweet!

the carbon fibre look does look nice aswell though!

is there somewhere where we can get some more pics plus prices?

The carbon bonnets are from a guy who is sellin them on the forum. They are a pre order but this buy has finished. Heres a link for pics and prices

I dont think that I will paint the bonnet as my car is gun metal grey and it shouldnt stand out too much. If anything it may look like a miscmatched colour from a distance.

the bonnet would look great on the 33, even though it won't stand out a crapload on the gunmetal.

the GT wing i'm not too sure, i've seen 33GTS-Ts with straight flat design GT wings and they look great, however i think that curvy one u posted might not work well with the already curvy rounded design of the 33.

however, it's what you think, and would go great with the bonnet :(

i think carbon bonnets and gt wings look mad! (obviously, check out my gallery :P)

as someone else mentioned, not sure about the curves on a 33? would have to see it first. the only unbfortunate thing is the gun metal grey wont highlight the carbon much, but still cool.

As far as "practicality" of the bits and pieces....well....who here bought a skyline to be practical? Theres always going to be the "sleeper" style modifiers that bags the "looks" style modifiers, best to have both the "looks" and "power" to back it up :(, the wallet doesnt always agree though!

it's your car, my theory is that if every time you walk back to you car and you think to yourself "yeah i'm still proud to own my car" than who cares what anyone else thinks

my 2 cents

:(

i like wings. just decent ones on decent cars, not the boeing wings on eclipses such as on laugh at rice. but the lack of a wing makes the back look low and fat, especially r32s. how i like it :aroused: carbon wings look awesome with a carbon bonnet. my 2 cents..

Heres some pics of my car with the GT wing just sitting on the boot.

Bear in mind the S1 spoiler is still attached(anyone know how to remove them??) and the GT wing would sit approximately 5-10cm further back than in the pics.

Does anyone know where to get CF bootlids for R33??

:)

    • Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡
    • Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink 
    • Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.
    • Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.
    • Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
