reverendzed Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 it took me a minute to focus my attention as I was really admiring that rear spoiler......I wonder if it was a carbon fibre piece of fruit that robbed Adam & Eve of their innocence? nevertheless no use entertaining the devil on this one ....my wallet couldn't afford it!

V8Datto Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 how i wish i had money to waste...what a good waste it would be are you able to get cf bumpers? i'm hoping to one day "upgrade" to cf flares and rear spoiler, so if you're still selling these in a couple of years time I second the cf bumpers, any available?

Actually I haven't seen them in Japan, I got mine from MSA in the US. http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/7BSA05 Quote
nizm0zed Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 the carbon bonnet and guards seem a little pricey? I know they are genuine japanese items, but you can get them for a better price from Alfa Motorsports, and id wager that the quality would be just as good. But that carbon tail light garnish, ooohhhhh yeeaaaaaa. (im saving my pennies now) Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 ^ Well, you are paying for shipping from Japan too. Quote
modular9 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 If only the rear tail light garnish fitted us big bummed 260z 2+2 owners . :( on the CF bonnet though ... Are these rare items or are would they be available 3 months from now or so ? Rain + bonnet vents = water in the engine bay. Plus it is CF. Quote

But that carbon tail light garnish, ooohhhhh yeeaaaaaa. (im saving my pennies now) I haven't seen a bonnet from Alfa, but I bought a pair of their guards and they needed a bit of work to fit. They also don't have the catch for the flip-up access panels to clip down. Quote

Usually they take a week or two to leave Japan, plus a week or so in freight and customs. I've seen these bonnets and they are better than the one I got from the US, which cost closer to $2k landed by sea freight. Quote
BenZed Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 A full carbon version is available too, for $1750. Note how the hinge mounts and latch mount are moulded in carbon too with the threads embedded, rather than using bits of aluminium and different nuts and bolts Quote
BenZed Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 How cool is this? They call this light panel a 'racing jacket'. This is a carbon version of the panel used on GC110 GT-R race cars in Japan in the seventies. Anybody driving a 240K? This panel is $390 and the chin spoiler is $250 (fibreglass only) Quote
620Z Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 They look great for the mad keen where money is no object. But I would make sure I took all the weight out of my car I could before going in this direction. Nice find though. Quote
mossy Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Is the rear spoiler pretty much a copy of the standard spolier from the Z and is it full carbon? Also can it be shipped directly to the buyer instead of going to Sydney then reshipped onto the buyer? Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted June 6, 2008 Administrators Posted June 6, 2008 I'd be interested in a CF bonnet in future, when I start on my project again. Some awesome parts there. Quote
zr240 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 HI That full carbon bonnet is technically not full carbon as you can see the CSM on the back. Still looks really nice though. Ash Quote
nat0_240_chevZ Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 yea its carbon skined either frp or fg.... not worth the full 1750, but still looks very trick and for (hopefully) very new straight bonnet!!!! looks cool. Quote
BenZed Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 Please note I have added more 240Z parts to the original post including doors and hatch Quote
BenZed Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 yea its carbon skined either frp or fg.... not worth the full 1750, but still looks very trick and for (hopefully) very new straight bonnet!!!! looks cool. I can do it for $1350 without the air freight. The full carbon bonnet has only one layer of FRP under the carbon shell for rigidity which stops dimples developing in the carbon shell. The one I imported from America is made the same way. To make it only with carbon would require double the amount of carbon which would cost much more and wouldn't be any lighter. If you can find a bonnet of this quality that's cheaper I'd be very interested to see it. Quote
nat0_240_chevZ Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 me too! a bloke here at my work does do carbon but mainly f/glass, he used to do boat hulls/mast's in both fg and cf, for racing yachts etc etc. he quoted me to do customised inner door skins with integrated handle and speaker mould (for a 6" in the door) also with a smallish 240Z logo embosed into the pattern for approx 480$ each side. not bad really but the carbon weave is pretty $$$'ey and so is the epoxy, i asked about f/glass with a CF finishing cover, and still around 400$ mark each. cheers nat0 Quote
