CF Door panel inserts? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

brainfood · 11-04-2005, 12:31 AM

I am looking to replace my inner door panels with a pair of carbon fiber sheets. So I am looking for a good place to get sheets of carbon I can cut to spec to install. One thing I would really like though is a sheet designed for a door panel so it curves up to meet with the window not just a flat piece to cover the door internals. I will be mounting a handle and the switchs for the pw and pdl on these panels so I dont mind doing some of my own fab and if I could I wouldnt mind using the heat gun to mold these peices but I am pretty sure that wont work with cf.

OriginLabs.com They have full carbon fiber door PANELS.

Andrew Bohan · 11-04-2005, 01:52 AM

even more gangster than that is NOT HAVING INNER DOOR SKINS AT ALL

skeet skeet skeet.

of course this works best when the handle is on a cable instead of a rod and you don't have any windows lol

TheSnail · 11-04-2005, 02:20 AM

^ that's what Im talking about. Why add carbon fiber to add weight? If you want to be serious, go with gutted doors. If not, then leave it stock or buy a Honda. Im sure they have a bunch of CF add on options.

anthony240 · 11-04-2005, 09:49 AM

i'm guessing he just wants to get rid of his Inner Door Panel but keep the neccessities like power locks/windows, and doesn't wanna go gutted cause it's street driven.

i've been thinking about this too, if you don't wanna get the origin lab version:

you're gonna have to make one, cause that's about it.

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-04-2005, 11:01 AM

I think the origin ones look better.

Romeyo07 · 11-04-2005, 11:46 AM

looks like OriginLabs.com is not working...

theicecreamdan · 11-04-2005, 12:21 PM

I like the beer one.

I think I'll just put some aluminum over mine, maybe it will match the dash that I'll make

***FaLKoN240*** · 11-04-2005, 12:23 PM

http://www.origin-lab.com/

That's the actual link to the origin site.

WanganRunner · 11-04-2005, 02:49 PM

Limited Magic actually makes a set for the S14 too, the entire panel I mean.

Raretrick sells it, I think it's like $700 for the pair, which actually ain't bad for something like that.

sw20>>s14 · 11-04-2005, 04:04 PM

how much are the Bee*R buggers? both are cool weightwise, but i like the origin ones better...the way i treat my car, the clear would get fucked up by my feet and ash...

brainfood · 11-04-2005, 06:12 PM

Yeah the bee-r ones are more what I am looking for. When the cage goes in I need something not as big as the stocks but I do drive it everyday and I dont want to gut the inner doors completely. Its not neccisarilly for wieght savings though it will help a little its more just to clean up the interior without having that completely gutted feel for everyday driving. Thanks for all the input guys. and also anyone know if they make roll center spacers for the lower control arms to adjust roll center and camber curve? Right now I think my car is cambering out under load which doesnt make much sense at all

I think some roll center spacers will correct the geometry but I dont want to spend the $1300+ on adjustable lower controll arms front and rear.

theicecreamdan · 11-04-2005, 06:24 PM

i think you can get flat sheets of carbon on ebay, if not i know there is some website that does.

IES13 · 11-04-2005, 08:53 PM

Hot stuff! Those Origin are nice....but I'm wondering what that would cost....if I had money to blow I'll pick up a pair! =)

justinhustle · 11-05-2005, 12:37 PM

limited magic went out of business like 2 yrs ago

the origins (which i have bought already) are almost the exact same as the frp-magic ones were

bee*r is nice, but too basic, i like an arm rest on the door

JohnC · 11-05-2005, 02:10 PM

A right and left set by Origin go for 36,540 JPY.
I got a in japan waiting to be shipped together with other items.
With shipping to the U.S I think you
are looking at around $500-$550.
It may be cheaper in the U.S when they are offered IDK,
that is the price now in Japan.
Couple more pics.

500-550 a piece or pair? They are a little slimmer in the lower area arent they without the map pocket they might be perfect with the door bars

justinhustle · 11-05-2005, 02:44 PM

theyre 450 from tf.com

IES13 · 11-05-2005, 04:02 PM

Now I really really want the Origin-Labs ones! Does anyone make a full CF dash? I know Raceonusa.com has a steering wheel dash cover, but not a complete dash.

MrSkinny · 11-05-2005, 09:12 PM

yah origin is the way to go. only prob is theres no hole for the speaker hehe. so i guess u lose those unless u cut a hole

JohnC · 11-05-2005, 11:38 PM

brainfood: it is for a pair.

yahoo auctions japan is your friend.

Andrew Bohan · 11-06-2005, 12:26 AM

those cf ones are actually pretty hot. i'd get some if i was rich and into show cars

**ThatGuy** · 11-06-2005, 11:55 AM

yes I would like to see them too!!!!!

speedfiend · 11-07-2005, 09:36 AM

Those Origin-Lab door panels are great . The only problem is I enjoy my music every now and then so how hard would it be to cut a hole in there for the speaker?

Zen S14 · 11-07-2005, 10:34 AM

None of the links work.

Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass are easily cut. You just need to leave yourself room to cover up the cut for a clean appearance.

brainfood · 11-07-2005, 12:07 PM

I will def. be looking into these when I get my cage they look awesome

FRpilot · 11-07-2005, 07:46 PM

looks too tacky imo. looks good but i dont see it being used for anything other than looks. i mean stock door panels weigh nothing already.
