pricing for cf just went up... military and airlines are starting to use alot more of it than they used to. Higher demand now so expect to pay more....

 

I will worry about the price as soon as I can actualy get a supplier. Honestly, I can not even find anyone selling any new CF cloth. All the suppliers have is OLD stock of colored CF...
You know of any suppliers let us know. I might just buy a whole bolt....

 

infused carbon of course. Many aircraft guys are switching to infusion because it's cheaper. If you look at a test panel for an infused part and a prepreg part.....the characteristics are very similar.

 

This is an infused Nissan S14 CF door.....without skeleton. The last pic is hard to see but it weighed in at lil above 3lbs.

Strength is pretty damn good. Even infused FRP is strong as hell.

Since carbon supply is very limited........i'd rather see the market with quality carbon parts that hold value rather than a bunch of cheap quality hoods.

 

If there is anything that needs to be lightened up in the Z, its doors and hatch. The Z's hood isn't exactly light, but not that heavy either.

A dry carbon door or hatch will cost sooo much but lightening those would help shave off some lap times.

 

Sorry to bring the thread back form the dead

Any update Rick

 

someone plz make doors for the g35 !!

 

Project is on the shelf since no one wants this kind of stuff or if they do they are not willing to pay for it.

 

Only the hardcore would go this path. I think it is a great idea. if the ball does eventually get rolling let me know.

 

Kognition Design is working on a front splitter, doors and a vented dry carbon hood for the 350Z. I hope to have some prototpye parts on my car in time for the track day at Buttonwillow the weekend of Sept. 30th.

These are super high quality parts made from tri-axial carbon (like the stuff used on the Stealth fighter). When you see them, you'll flip!

 

Have they thrown in ball park prices out there?

 

im pretty sure if everyone didnt have a budget, wed all get the top secret stuff
unfortunately we dont live in a perfect world and sometimes have to get the next best thing
heck i couldnt even afford this car new so had to settle for a used one
