Carbon Fiber Fan Shroud out there somewhere? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Searched, but no luck. I've seen them in JPN mags - they've gotta be out there somewhere.

eastcoastS14 · 08-01-2007, 08:44 PM

one question....why?

weight saving fan shroud

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG CARBON FIBER FTMFW!!!!!!!!!!!!

shits pointless

*kognition* · 08-01-2007, 08:56 PM

Why are you running a stock fan? Take the money you planned to spend the fan shroud on and get a decent fan setup.

Good question - since I most likely will upgrade rad and up to lo-pro fans...

Dousan_PG · 08-01-2007, 09:21 PM

kandyflip445 · 08-01-2007, 09:40 PM

If you really want to spend for it I'm sure kognition could make one. lol

*kognition* · 08-01-2007, 09:46 PM

We are getting ready to make dry carbon plug covers, but other than that i haven't given the engine bay much thought.

kandyflip445 · 08-01-2007, 09:49 PM

Wouldn't you go some one-off things for the right price though? lol

Will you make a KA Carbon valve cover? lol I bet that would be MONEY!

*kognition* · 08-01-2007, 11:09 PM

We only do one off's for our race team customers in Europe now. Because they order a batch of what it is we make for them. But that is mainly composite panel stock.

so you guys dont do things like hoods, hatches/trunks, doors, etc? or not yet?

*kognition* · 08-02-2007, 12:53 AM

We do make S14 versions of what you stated below, but we have only been using them for time attack, and have not made them available. As far as hoods and trunks, we are only interested in making dry carbon parts. And those will finally come out at the end of this month.

sideview_180sx · 08-02-2007, 01:39 AM

Mlogue84 · 08-02-2007, 02:08 AM

This guy seems to have one from Avalon Racing for his Z. Third picture down... blow it up.

Ian · 08-02-2007, 03:07 PM

I'm pretty sure the clutch fan moves more CFM than any other efan out there

*kognition* · 08-02-2007, 06:35 PM

I could probably strap my twin FAL on the back of my car it would push me down the track.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 08-02-2007, 06:41 PM

ooh like the Brabham BT46B?

It didn't push him down the track, but sure made alot of downforce!

Please tell me you're making a dry carbon s13 hood. I'd blow my whole income tax return next year on that, and then some.

blu808 · 08-02-2007, 07:37 PM

Just base it off this and you will be good to go.

kandyflip445 · 08-02-2007, 08:11 PM

Heh. It's that Chapparral thing from GT4!

*kognition* · 08-02-2007, 11:18 PM

Holy hell, that could be mistaken for Dr. Who in the Tardis ship if it was painted red!
