Carbon Fiber Body Kit and Fenders (S13)

[Chosen_1]

Does anyone know of any carbon fiber body kits or fenders made for the classic S13 240sx? I know carbon creations made one, front and rear bumper, side skirts. But I can't find that one any more. Also if anyone knows where one can have carbon fiber fenders made or people who make them that'd be awesome.

[ThatGuy]

Hahahahaha, that's a good one. :bowrofl:

[bllabong89]

lolz...um for the fenders you could just wrap yours in carbon fiber material and resin them so they stay all shiney and stuff.lol

Why is it again that you want carbon fiber? I could only assume, with no other information, that your s13 has been transformed into a $300,000 exotic converted to mid engine with a quadruple turbo v12

[chiboy002]

1. no 240sx will ever be a classic
2. putting carbon fiber that low on a car is pretty much a waste of money
3. you didn't search

[C-unit]

I can get them in BN, BN blister, vertex, uras, gp sport...pm'ed you!

[jholman]

The fenders would be nice but the bumper would get destroyed.

[GripTerror]

2 more years and i can register my 240sx as a classic... suck on that

[90white240]

What is this guy saying^^^^^^ O yes carbon fiber good very good.

[s14tan]

Carbon Fiber = Weight Reduction = OMG HELLA FAST JDM 240?

No?

no thats about right.

let's make one thing clear, a car younger than me is not a fucking classic

[Pure_JDM]

let's make one thing clear, a car younger than me is not a fucking classic

Glad your almighty opinion is stone... a few more years, and mine will be registered and tagged as a "classic". That's right, car "younger than me". That means no more inspections and cheaper insurance.

and before you get your feelings hurt, I also own a 48 and a 51 Chevy pickup... I know what "classics" are, even if this OP and the state of Louisiana don't.

yo jaime that bumper looks urethane

those parts are probably stupid expensive

LOL @ everyone thinking their 240 is classic just cause its old. That just means its out dated, get real.

[sincity_sil80]

what IS considered a classic? i thought it was anything 20 years or older. my car is older than me, she's a cougar. i love how everybody just ignores the op's post lmao, thats classic! he'll learn soon enough

Since your wanting all carbon fiber why not start with the most essential and awesome piece?

the shift knob of course. :2c:

WOW that carbon hatch is HOT

Holy crap, that Origin rear bumper is FIRE... time to sell my Kouki valances...

[C-unit]

funny how everyone bash on the origin kit when it first came out. Now it is in carbon and everyone cream their pants....

[fckillerbee]

damn. I just cracked my fender last night...i would cry if that shit was that much money. fuuuuck.

[MadScientist]

louisiana? opinion ruled irrelevant

Oh really??? Showing your mentality is weaker then your car... cute!!

[CrimsonRockett]

It all comes down to execution.

I can use just about any aero as an example. Throw on full Kouki 180sx aero on an S13 and rattle can the entire car. It'll look like shit.

That S13 looks amazing simply because the rest of the car flows with the aero.

Those other S13's with the same kit that were fully painted the same color. Looked so F&F 2001.

[silviaguy240]

not to mention readily available "carbon fiber" parts for an s chassis are just carbon wrapped fiber glass and offer minuscule to no weight loss for more money.

weight reduction? what is that?

i thought carbon fiber was just to pull in high school chicks at the mall.

[Broadfield]

If you want to pull down some chicks, then you need something like this! I'm not a huge fan of carbon, but I do like to work with it. I've been wanting to get some of this in to play with.... some of these new weaves are pretty baller and give a nice solution over the standard age old 2x2 twill weave:

id assume you could find your own hood, headlight cover and o ther misc stuff.

i was going to do the whole carbon car myself, but decided it would be a waste of money for something ill probably end up driving into a wall

[Prime]

I also find it funny that most people don't realize that for most applications, carbon really isn't that much lighter than standard FRP. The only time you really start to see a difference is in things like F1, where every ounce counts. Or, in aerospace, where you've got so much damn material EVERYWHERE that it just adds up.

I'm with Mr. Broadfield above. If you're going to do carbon, man up and get some funky patterns. We all know you're in it just to be baller anyway, might as well go all out.

[Matej]

This gentleman most likely requires carbon fiber body parts so he can leave them unpainted for everyone to admire. :)

[simmode1]

True... I remember that thread. The front is still too busy for my tastes, but I don't really recall having seen the rear until now. The rear is really the only part I want...

[sincity_sil80]

the honey comb and 3rd alternate weave down are both ill as fruck. i could see someone working something sik out of it

No, you're not even close to being remotely right in this thought.

Carbon fiber itself, when made with a resin and no backing material, IE FRP, is way more light than your standard FRP.

So, with your thought you're saying an F1 car made of FRP would come close to meeting the weight of an F1 car made of carbon fiber? Go pound sand.

[slowvia]

Dry carbon is where its at.

yeah carbon by itself is super duper light, but how much is there thats plain carbon, not much right? so in this application getting an FRP hood would probably be really close weight to FRP/Carbon Hood. You can make FRP light but it wouldnt be close to structural strenght as Carbon.

[MadScientist]

Dry carbon is where its at.

Dry is a term used to describe that the part is made from a Pre-Preg lay-up on a, non gel coated base mold. Resin is still used but the control ratio is as close to 30/70 as possable. Costly process and materials.

Wet is dry cloth layed into a gel-coated base mold and Hand Layed... basic joe shmoe style. No Control of material saturation or uniform resin flow. Cheep fast process.

[TravisSW]

Anybody ever play with super rare carbon fiber (as in, not developed into something yet)?

If I remember correctly, if you see it bundled up, it looks and feels like hair.

[MadScientist]

I have ordered one off custom piping twills for testing.

[Prime]

So, with your thought you're saying an F1 car made of FRP would come close to meeting the weight of an F1 car made of carbon fiber? Go pound sand.

An F1 car using the same lay-up technique, equal weight cloth, the same mold, and the same resin but made of glass as opposed to carbon would weigh exactly the same. Would it be as strong? No. Which is my point.

The s13 is a unibody car. The fenders, hood, doors, and trunk aren't structural. You could make all of these pieces out of FRP at the exact same weight as carbon. Will they be as stiff or strong? No. Do you need them to be? No.

Unless you're going to build a one off car with a brand new frame, with nothing but the profile of an s13, carbon isn't going to do much of anything but provide baller status.

Go pound sand.

[SupremeTeam]

if you want it go for it, im getting my whole carbon fiber 240sx together, so far i got the GT spoiler, mirrors, doors,roof top, hood and trunk. now all i need it's fenders front and rear bumper. yes it does cost alot but in the end of the day you driving a car that anyone will break their neck by looking at it.

[ZilviaKid]

cool man, thanks for joining the forum and bumping this thread to let us know how great your car is going to be!

everything ive seen in this thread makes me want to puke

thank you zilvia, for fucking up my morning bowl of cereal.

Do what makes you happy. If society were to build cars soley off of other's opinions then there would be no cars.:rawk:

[joel.e.krueger]

That statement is one cliche rolled into another.

[revcyanide]

I wanna see more cars do that origin kit up correctly.

Yea but it works if you squint when you read it and dont think about it too much. LOL

or we could just agree on mass transit and all ride the bus together.... that would be fun

that would be fun and the transit authority could push and cram us in like sardines like overseas.

look around.

people fucking building drift "missiles"
people trying to fit 18x20 -157 wheels
people rusting out body panels on purpose
sticker bombing
roof racks
hellaflushillestfatlacecanibeatwrongfitment regurgitated bullshit

90% of the cars you see are all built based off of other cars, copying styles and even moreso, trends.

if you build a car to be trendy you are obviously seeking the approval of other trendsters and their opinions.

[camaro379ss]

yes based off of others because the person building the car saw what they liked not because someone else told them to build it like that.

First post on zilvia.... best of luck with your creations. Most s13 owners don't have money. Its a horrible market.

If I were a businessman, I'd make CF parts for Evo X, STI, Ferrari, Porsche. You can usually get away with charging more. 240sx owners won't pay $8000 for a front splitter, but a Ferrari owner thinks he's getting a major deal.

[Brentbohn]

Classic? S10-12 perhaps but not 13,, just a minor chassis foot note on the way to glory s14-15

[jcacustoms]

were making them for a lot of dif cars lol just saw the post for the s13

[C-unit]

open up a new account, no rep, no photos..awesome marketing.

seriously, sign up for a vendor and you'll probably get businesses.

[jcacustoms]

going to open a vendor account soon, my shop does custom paint and fab work now so just getting the body kit and accessories stuff started.
also ill be posting photos soon, just randomly came across a posting on the forum for a guy looking for wide body carbon fenders and posted in the wrong place lol

[HalveBlue]

Very few people still build good, clean cars these days.

To build a decent car you need money and taste.

Many (most?) 240 owners lack both.
