slidemotorsport Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 as title does anyone make a fiberglass boot? ive seen the siebon carbon ones but i just want fiberglass help... Quote
Wasso Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Would fibreglass be a worthy material for such a bodypart? I'd be a little worried about opening and closing the boot - or am I just being sceptical? Quote
Toon Chris Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 If you are thinking of saving weight it certainly will, but then you might need to consider some changes to the suspension also - if you don't already have them. The rear of the Z is already quite happy to lift up to the point of take-off if you go over a bump quickly on standard shocks, giving you a nice on the top of your head if you are tall like me. Apologies if this I've just 'passed granny an egg...' Quote
slidemotorsport Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 its for the drift car im building in so suspension etc all will be aftermarket. security doesnt matter as itl never be left anywhere really. soooo... anyone? Quote
slidemotorsport Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 anyone else got any input except getting one made, which i am looking at Quote
350 Russ Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 i think it would be strong enough, iirc didnt old citroens have fibreglass boots and doors? Quote
slidemotorsport Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 its caged up so strength aint really an issue im used to the 200sx market where not only has everything been made and is on the shelf but another company has copied the design and is knocking them out cheaper. i mite just have to bite the bullet and get some made altho i cant see there being much of a market for them yet Quote
BulletMagnet Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Leave the hatch off and turn it into a pick-up :D Quote
slidemotorsport Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 haha someone else said that. already taking up too much of my time, dont want to make more work for myself!! Quote
leonk Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Only a thought..... Change the glass and use a hole/hole cutter to lighten the inner skin as much as possible?? Quote
slidemotorsport Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 that could be a back up plan, i'll be getting at least the rear 3 plastic windows, possibly front 2 aswel. i mite have a play with this one stripping it down, although i dont want to ruin it and then need to copy it for a mould Quote
