raz0r$harP.UK Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Not sure.. Been having trouble finding them too. N-1 Distribution (http://www.n-1.com.au/bnr34Main.asp)sells some for their R34 but haven't found anywhere else. Look hot though..

NZM.031 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 are they legal??? i wouldnt mind some.. id imagine cops would love them, as they'd cut your ankle up pretty bad if you brushed past them....let alone get hit by one. they'd be classed as a protrusion. garage 13 might have some. cheers Linton Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72986-where-can-i-get-those-cf-front-fins/#findComment-1341876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mashrock Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 that custom carbon company here in australia maybe? i know a few people who can make whatever you want. also search for carbon doors for a 32 gtr on www.ebay.com.. hes in england. he makes up just about anything for you.

midnight Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 if youre going to DIY do it properly, those DIY ones look like they'd cut ur leg up if they brushed you. theyre pretty easy to make good curved ones yourself using dry layup CF get some card, cut it to shape, lay some fiberglass mat resin carbon twill matt resin and a gel coat sand and polish Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72986-where-can-i-get-those-cf-front-fins/#findComment-1342032 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I have some for my 32GTR. not carbon though, aluminium. look pretty cool, but totaly illegal as they are a great pedestrian hazard. also a pain in the arse as they stick out they would be quite easy to hit gutters etc. they do look nice though.

Beer Baron Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 they were on the car, but have now been removed. plus I just had my front bar re-sprayed so the mounting holes have now been filled so I probably wont be putting them back on for a while (if ever). the look just like pretty much any other set of carnards.

Blitz Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 How about mounting a meat clever on each side of your front bar for the desired effect? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72986-where-can-i-get-those-cf-front-fins/#findComment-1346809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I have tried this but it doesn't look as good... seriously though. they are a bitch for any normal driving (parking etc) as the become the front most and widest point of your car and you can't see them... do a nice job of scratching up someone elses car, or get smashed off on a pole in a car park, or have someone f**k their leg on it an sue you. yeah they create a certain look, but they are best left to track only.

Would you be interested in selling them...what are they worth to you?, plain old curiosity has me wanting to try some to see if i notice any mor emid corner/front end grip:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/72986-where-can-i-get-those-cf-front-fins/#findComment-1347132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
