Looks like really nice quality on those ford CF parts there Richie! Very much looking forward to the CF engine cover

Richie - sent you a PM with an idea - lmk what you think

 

I want one too, is it almost done yet?

 

Thanks Adam.... got the PM!!! Really appreciate that mate! I will look into those ideas!

We will have our prototype ready today... but darn... the digital camera is broken at our factory (seriously, not just an excuse, someone dropped it), so I am asking a person to borrow one on the weekend and I will see if I can post a few pics soon...

cheers,

richie

 

2 is better

 

update? I can't wait man! hahaha

 

Sorry for the delay.... the sample is definitely done.. I am also waiting for the pictures to come back to me for the final production approval! I will keep you all posted! Got a bit busy lately with other carbon fibre parts for Ford...

cheers,

richie

 

Bump for pix! BTW, will you be manufacturing the Evo-R CF interior pieces as well? Your Ford pieces look really good!

 

+1 on that as well.

 

Any word?

 

I would like to see the mentioned pics of the prototype and also know some planned rough dates of availability. Really looking forward to this one, it will be one of the final parts to complete my mod wish list.

Guys.... HERE ARE THE PROTOTYPE PICTURES.... finally got another camera.... REALLY SORRY for the delay!!!

Remember... we will not put "V6 3.5" on the centre piece... and that centre piece will be made in Silver fibre...

Let me know what you think people! We can go down to production straight away and the parts will be available in 15 working days or so providing we don't change the design anymore...

cheers,

richie

 

Richie - looking good guys

So it will have a provision for the Nissan emblem, but not have any cutout for a badge of any sort at the top (allowing the buyer to get one or not get one as they see fit?)

Am I correct?

 

yes.... it will have a provision for the nissan emblem!!!

Adam... you are correct there... we will not have a cut out for the badge because there are so many different types of nismo badge out there... or any other logo they want instead of nismo badge!

cheers,

richie

 

btw... just a thought... people can even put their dyno print out on the centre piece too

cheers,

richie

 

looks great Richie! So what's the word on pricing?

 

WOw. thats freakin sweet... awesome job on the plug.

hows the resin mixture for heat resistance?

 

Looks good Richie!

Though there are 2 things i noticed that dosent match with the original Nismo cover:
1. The lowered surface for the center plate is only there for the area where the center plate is surposed to be, on the prototype it comes all the way to the front. Personally I prefer the original design.

2. The "center plate" seams much thicker on the prototype then on the original. On the original it is slimmer so it comes down into the cover slightly compared to (which looks really nice). On the prototype it is level at the back towards the engine and slimms down forwards.



I will buy one either way, but i would prefer if the above points could be considered?

/Roger

 

thanks roger,

Yes... it was made like that intentionally... because we might run into some copy right issues if we copy that EXACTLY

I will speak to my prototype manager and discuss this further...

Price wise... going to be roughly around USD 215 or so + shipping ...

cheers,

richie

 

If you do a cover for the plenum too you should keep the color theme just mirror it. And please make it in a way that one can use a flat wide sturt bar like the Cusco as well as the original tiny bone.

What about CF parts for the battery and fluid covers? And a 2 pcs CF radiator panel like the one from Varis?
