Hi guys,

Just wanted to get some eoi of what carbon fibre parts ppl would be interested in.  

I and a couple of friends are able to fabricate parts out of carbon fibre would like to find out what kind of parts everyone would need. We're thinking of smaller sized parts not the obvious Bonnets and that, which we can do as well.  

Just a note: my friend (the main fabricator) has a lot of experience with carbon fibre, including helping build the UWA motorsport car (carbon fibre monocoque chassis - yes same as F1) so they will be of proffessional quality.

Some possible ideas.. carbon fibre surrounds for rear lights, mudflap surrounds, front light surrounds, eyelids, etc..

hey Quink,

I would be interested in the following parts for an R33 S1

-Air-Box

-Eye Lids

-Headlight (the ones which u remove ur headlight and it is just like an air-duct to filter, if photos needed will post)

-Flat Boot (very very interested in this)

-Mudflaps would also be cool

-read lights surronds and front lights too

-Engine Cover RB25det

-GTR style grill to suit gts-t

Hey guys, thanks for the replies and keep them coming..

Well i'm meeting up with my friend today with these suggestions and get a rough (note very rough) cost vs construction method write up for you guys and whether u'd still be interested.

It seems the most popular suggestion is the R33 Flat boot lid, with 5-6 ppl already very interested.

Just a couple of points to remember is if u just want a skin on top of fibreglass etc.. its gonna be a hella lot cheaper than a fully carbon one.. as well as building a fully functional carbon fibre door instead of just a eyelid... Price vs Weight vs Complexity.. will be the key issue here..

Well i would like R32 GTR style bonnet, carbon skin just fine......hell im looking to buy just a plain fibreglas one with some choice drift style vents etc.....then just spray entire car....basicly....cheap is GOOD :P

I'm down for a flat boot, dont care if its fibreglass or carbon fibre

Hi I am interested in an R32GTR airbox to suit Apexi pods. preferably carbon fibre side(s) and perspex top (so the filters can still be seen/inspected).

there are a few designs around and I could send you a link if you want to have a look.

I'm sure there is plenty of R32GTR owners with Apexi pods who would buy one.

I would be happy with a Flat boot with cf layer, or just full cf :D

understand what you are saying quink :P i'd go either a fibreglass flat boot with a cf layer or full carbon but would prefer full carbon and be prepared to pay for the time and effort if the quality was good, which from the sound of it, it would be.

:D

I'd be up for a skin bonnet and r32 GTR grill for sure. (cheap is good, but I'd like a full carbon price....)

Also some gauge holders would be heaps useful.

Pod box :)

Eyelids would also be awesome. Cheers champ!

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
