CF stuff for 240's??

[gosuS14]

If you could have Carbon Fiber parts for your 240, what would it be?? I just wanted to see the different ideas out there. Thanks!

[Dousan_PG]

because im too lazy to make it myself
cf gauge pod holder to replace center ac vents on the s13 for 60mm gauges

[drift freaq]

carbon fiber a and b pillars that do not have the slots for the motorized seatbelt on s13's perfect for after swapping in s14 belts or harness

s14 - CF center console stuff. (shifter finishing plate, radio trim piece) i think F.K. made them, but i don't know if they still do.
also, a nice CF trunk lid.

[TheSnail]

The trunk, but then again I already have traction problems. Probably doors, but not hpi's type, I yould have thin sheet doors that only hold up the plexiglass windows and no rolling mechanism. that would probably save 40lbs instead of hpi's 30. (not including the plexiglass weight deduction)

cf dash, center console, trunk lid, shifter surround, 60mm gauge pod holder below radio

[DRFT]

CF cup holders

[TheSnail]

Yeah ! cup holders ! I know Im not the only one that kept their drinks upright in the center console?

[nightwalker]

there's already CF hatch for fastbacks! I want one as soon as they make them available! that + lexan = tyteness like a virgin!

Other than that I don't care for carbon fiber nothing, if a fiberglass version was available, I'd buy that instead.

[Jeff240sx]

Search. So many people come through "I can make uber l33t shiz for y0 240 datz mad tyte!" and nothing ever happens.
*Reminiscing about the good 'ol days when Zilvia was small and when someone said they'd do or make something, it happened.*

(s13) that plastic "A" pillar thingy on the outside of the car next to the 240sx emblem on the window.. i seen one for the 350z but not 240sx..and a real cf gas door... that would be pimp

Why a Dash... Have you ever lifted up a S13 dash, it weights like nothing, its a shell, it weights damn near nothing.. maybe 10-15 lb.


But the doors wouldent be to bad, throw some Lexan in their, yum, I have an extra door, i might try to swizz cheese it (cut out unwanted un needed metal) and see how much I lose, and see if its worth it :-D

Whaaaaa?!?! Who's making CF hatches?

[Dousan_PG]

if i could have one part CF for my car it would be the whole subframe

[aznpoopy]

interior trim, esp the center s14 console around the radio and even climate control. also the trim around the shifter boot. i have yet to see one in person that *isn't* cracked. oem replacements are super expensive and nobody seems to have a fresh set, at least out here on the east coast.

hell yea!! i should be using GOOGLE more eh? thanks.. :w00t:

[Var]

you guys are fruity. interior trim.. hahaha sorry guys i dont mean to offend but if someone asked me anything carbon fiber...i'm thinkin save weight on something big and heavy,..who cares about interior trim? the whole point of carbon fiber being used on race cars is it's strong and saves weight. interior trim could be carbon fiber sticker and it would be good enough.

epidemiksx? a gas door ?? :doh:

a carbon fiber subframe would cost way too much anyways but a good answer for a "if you could have anything carbon fiber" question

if the original poster is actually starting to make CF parts, then i understand catering to the needs of the mindless sheep style consumers of the auto industry. Interior trim for eveyone!!!

O and APC RULESS !!!

brake rotor simulators for everyone!!!

but it would look so pretty :hsdance: ... plus who is going to make plastic interior trim replacements when OEM is there. at least if its CF parts u draw in people who want to replace broken shit as well as your rice-a-roni drivers. everyone wins! even the ricers. i mean... $80 freakin' bucks for a plastic garnish on my s14? its ridiculous. i'd rather just glue it together and cover it up with spray or something.

edit: whoa... i should glue it together, sand it down and spray the whole piece over. its brilliant! thank u westborough! :cry:

door skins

[boro240]

door skins
you mean the interior of the door? SWAT makes them, along with CF doors.

[gosuS14]

Thanks for the responses. I wanted to know cause my brother was gonna start up a carbon fiber business and I just wanted to see what the 240's needed or wanted. So if there are anymore ideas out there, it would be greatly appreciated to hear from everyone! Thanks again!

yah interior... ooh link?

[lilredstiffy]

All sorts of carbon fiber trim pieces and useless panels are oh so gay, only thing I wouldn't mind is maybe a front or rear diffuser or just a c/f tray to replace the nasty stock one under the motor.

I know with my car any of these pieces would be destroyed in a matter of minutes I don't think c/f likes to be drug on the ground..... :-p

[GotDriftS14]

also the trim around the shifter boot. i have yet to see one in person that *isn't* cracked.


yeah, mine was cracked on my S14. i think interior trim cracks build character, haha.
