Questions: 1) Is there any guarantee on the quality of these fibreglass bonnets? (thinking about donating stock bonnet for a good cause) 2) How long will it take from donation to receipt of first bonnet? (thinking about donating stock bonnet for a good cause)? 3) Does the donator get installation too? Fark I'm a picky bastard~

Nope sorry... he said you can take it or leave it. Told us to offer it to anyone who wants an exhaust put on when they're at the workshop.

Engine came from the R34 wreck that we are currently dismantling... KMs are unknown but I'd be on the safe side in assuming it's done already 100,000kms

Questions Answered: Parts are from a 2 door coupe... I still have one front ash tray available - $30 + postage I don't have a steering wheel available that is from a manual, will have one from an automatic soon though.

I just re-used the elbows and piping from my stock intercooler setup (through the hole that was left after the install). Sits inside the front bar perfectly and didn't cost me anything other than 15minutes of thought and half an hour of installation. I agree with the "no water" thing, and if you are really unsure, just tilt the CAI so it's always pointed downwards, even if water gets in, it'll just run out again.

Not yet Dan... still rummaging through the boxes of stuff!

Sorry to hear James, but good to know you're OK after our convo this morning Best of luck with recovery, I've already spread the word on the beaches, if it's down there, we'll know about it. Thanks and good luck! Stan

There are 5 from what I count in previous posts... myself FLIP WogBoy Freak4U Lithius Perhaps PM all 5 of us to see if we're all good to go? Thanks Stan

EGA41T; PM replied OnGsTa; I think these are gone... but I could be wrong, PM Adam!

I think it's probably an idea to find out what constitutes as a "contract"... from my understanding and studies, there must be the following: 1) Parties Involved (buyer + seller) 2) An Offer (in this case sale of the car) 3) Terms (payment; times etc.) 4) Termination of Contract (what happens when either party fails to carry out their part) I think I have also read somewhere that a verbal agreement is just as binding as a written agreement. As mentioned, this is one word against another in court so not much to grasp. However, if your friend can prove he got the car inspected on the "reliance" that the contract would continue to the end, then there is a case. This shows that he was acting in ways to fulfil his part of the contract (purchasing the car). Also, a deposit is merely to indicate that you have an "interest" in the item/s. This does not reserve you full rights to the purchase - someone else could come along and pay the entire amount, voiding your deposit (which should be returned). Important note; if you give someone a deposit on a car (or anything for that matter), should make it very clear as to whether or not it is refundable if you decide not to go ahead. Many times people (me included) have been caught out for stuff such as ticket bookings etc. Just some thoughts, don't hold any of it against me if it's wrong - just going by some knowledge and common sense.

Can I please ask how everyone got around the "bracket" and "sock" problem with the Bosch 040? When I first installed mine, we had major fuel surging problems at "almost empty" levels. We took this a being due to a missing "sock". Also, I get the same problem on start up... might look into this check valve thing - I'm pretty sure we removed it

Valid point Richard; but here's something from Tom @ BD4s: "the V Pro is set up in a piggy back configuration for a reason. It retains a lot of the functions like ISCV and VCT, etc. also A/T. It also then can tap signals from a lot of the stock sensors and use them. But then it doesn't use the factory maps, it controls the engine "stand alone". So it is like getting the best of both worlds." So maybe there's more to it than just a piggyback ECU.

BTW; I'm not sure what the other R34 boys (or girls) want but I'm pretty sure I want the vent style on the S14 not the first pic.

Satanic is confirming his spot on this group buy... so does that make 5 R34 bonnets then?

This is a major hinderance to my daily SAU experience... can't send those lovey dovey PMs to my fellow 'liners! Not happy Adam - you broked it

LOL Thanks Adam

Thanks for that Ian

Paul; yes that is correct... SK; it is full stand-alone unit but installed in a "piggy back" fashion... not sure how else I can explain this

Paul, I got my F-CON setup for about the same price as a SAFC2 so no I didn't look at a Motec or an Autronic.

Maybe this was left out somewhere in the discussion but the HKS F-CON does have a hand controller; it's called the F-CON Navigator or Navigator PRO. It displays all the monitoring sensors etc just like a PFC H/C does. However, unlike the PFC it cannot be used for tuning purposes. The most you can do from what I understand is set the desired A/F ratio that you want. However, reading into the F-CON features there is an override feature which will enable you to bypass the F-CON allowing for a limp mode. Also, since it's installed in a "piggyback" style, the stock ECU is still there meaning you can always revert it on the spot (simply leave your AFM in the boot or just not hooked up I guess).

I got my setup on the cheap so it's not a clear indication... but my guesstimate for ECU, harness, all sensors and the navigator would be somwhere close to $3k.

I'll tell you in 1 week's time

I agree that it's a very valid point, but same could be said about any ECU (though not to the same extent ). Furthermore, I am from Sydney and it's unlikely I'll be taking the car interstate for any reason - too much $$$ in petrol.

Thanks for that and the PM SK; does this line from HKS change your opinion though as it addresses the issue of the ignition cut and retard logic programming. "AT shift and revision" "In the A/T car, at the time of high load because the knocking which is easy to occur at the time of shift rise or kick down is not caused, engine rpm fluctuation and throttle opening are designated as condition and ignition retarded angle revision of fixed time is done." This is straight from their website translated into English.

WOW, you're keen chopping up a bonnet! but the effect is awesome!!! Well done; try get some photos of it out in better lighting so we can see all the curves
