I removed the rear seats out of my last car and replaced them with a carbon fiber false floor. Combined with the CF hood, Lightweight seats, coil overs, brakes, and the CF false floor i saved around 300lbs from the car.

I was able to do a rear seat delete, including the seatbelts, and all mounting hardware and I ended up saving alot of weight with that mod alone. The false floor kept the car from not looking like a tin can on the inside.

Besides i hated friends who bummed rides all the time, so it worked out for me in the long run. I didnt have to carpool my buddies around and I had a lighter car that still looked great. No shame in that.

 

what about the girls?!

 

Im 100% with you.

Props to PJDM.
The first on the market making carbon goodies (like them or not) for the GTR.

They are a great company hands down.

It seems a little disrespectful and childish to me to be ripping on PWJDM like this. I know some might not like the product but some of the comments seem a little rediculous.

I personally wouldnt buy this particular product, but I think its a great idea and could cater certain peoples needs/wants.

Dont mean to sound like a tight@ss but I was just a little curious as to why the ripping was so harsh.

 

because people secretly want the parts but aren't willing to sell a kidney to pay for them

 

the rear seat covers and other accessories look good, but im so so about the look of the front seats. i think a recaro/bride bucket would look more at home haha. to passwordjdm

 

there's a good reason why i don't prefer pwjdm. if you know about carbon fiber, the marketing of it, and process of making it you will know as well. all others who love their cf creation.. stay young, naive, and let your money be taken advantage of. (and their weaves are one of the cheapest shhhh so is their resin shhhh so are all the molds they make.. molds are very easy to make.)

If you guys want a center consol made, i can do for $80. and it will be vacuumed as well and non-ballistic kevlar. But it's only worth it for me if I have group buy of 20 people

 

 

^^^^ is that cartoon from N64??

 

How am I trying to get everyone to agree with me when I made two posts in this thread? Get over what? Just what the fck are you talking about seriously? In the end, you said it yourself, it's just your opinion. Mine was just my opinion. So if you are stating your opinion and don't expect every body to agree with you, then why the **** are you quoting my opinion and telling me your bullshit opinion?

Did I confuse you?

 

Costs don't always reflect quality. If production of pwjdm REALLY DO cost a fortune and they also sell it for a big cost, then pwjdm really needs to learn alot from Ford's way of reducing material cost and as a result, reducing costs for consumers - let's not forget Rockefeller's oil industry who used less solder to reduce fabrication transporatation / sales costs for his customers. 1 to 3 layers of Carbon Fiber (for example) in their intake, being sold for $3g is an example why pwjdm is being hated.

The carbon fiber that pwjdm is basic. what I mean by basic is, it's the most widely used carbon fiber weave that auto industries use for aesthetic uses and not so much of structural strength. As long as you have a vacuum (or an autoclave -which costs a dozen of left nuts), CF (even fiberglass) will be generally strong. There's no reason for them to use a different weave that's any stronger - most consumers don't know.. cf is just cf to them. the higher the OZ, generally the higher the strength to weight ratio can be (assuming the resin and vacuuming process is done fairly well).

If pwjdm buys CF buy a large roll, whoever their material dealer is, its going to be very cheap. 10 yards by 60'' of ~5.0 OZ cf weave can cost about $20 per yard (this isn't with business hook up, it's just normal consumer cost). 10 yard x 60'' cf weave can make you about 4? of those intakes if they use 2 to 3 layers of cf. (sometimes, companies can cheap out by using only 1 layer of CF and using regular fiberglass mat to support it. then they paint it black to cover up the white weave). However, this is a very general observation. The numbers can be wrong, but the profit and explanation still remains generally the same.

If a thin layer of carbon fiber costs $3g, I would expect it to be F1 / aeronautic grade. I think in those areas, they don't even use the cf we know of today, i don' think they even use titanium for hardware.. there's a more advance form of material i forgot the name of it.

years ago, PWJDM started out making stainless steel (or is it aluminum) strut bars / tower bars for hondas and acuras. it didn't really make sense to me how they went from that to making products with 'safety' factors & ergonomics in mind and products that work by means of fluid dyanmics. It costs millions for legitimate research like that. Whoever fabricates pwjdm stuff though, i would have to say good job. Skills are great, but marketing sucks
