I've always wanted a Custom Carbon bonnet for my R32 GT-R, still considering!!! Strange how massive your weave is on that CF... different for sure!

Very nice mate. I remember seeing the full carbon bodied Skyline that used to be on the Custom Carbon website a while ago.
The weave is very nice!

Interior - well just getting some new speakers and a nice headunit.. i think the standard interior looks nice in the 33 so it will stay as is..
Yeah the full bodied 33 we did is still getting around, got neglected so doesn't look the best anymore. With some tlc it will look shmick again... here's some pics     If you'd like to speak about carbon fibre you can either write something here in this thread or pm me... or call Custom Carbon (07) 38652014 not sure about international call details... am happy to answer any questions anyone has...

Excellent carbon work.
Ive got a few questions, -how did you make your moulds? did you use the original items to make females? or custom? -also what type of layup was it. was it wet? vac bag? or did you use prepreg? autoclave? Must have been a pain to keep the weave quality if it was wet  Also did you notice how much weight you saved?

yeah original parts but the bootlid was a custom built plug...
we vac bag everything.. it is an absolute pain trying to keep the weave perfect.. but practice makes perfect. weight saved is alot on all items.. gtr boot is 28kg carbon one is 4.5kg bonnet is 6-7kgs the vets on my bonnet dropped my engine bay temp by 25 degrees, i'd say it works wonders.. Not really saving that much weight just getting heat out.
