who is going to be the donar bonnet for the r34 group ? after i get that sorted i will pm all that is interested for the r34 fibreglass bonnet.

Im in sydney btw :yes:

Edited by whyte

i'm interested but dont really want to shell out cash up front for a bonnet of unknown quality. I've seen some great glass bonnets and some really shithouse ones. Is there any way i can see a sample of this work? I'm in sydney also.

Ummmm.... I think we are waiting for someone to donate a vented bonnet for a R32. I can see that there is interest but I think it’s a no go if we don't have a bonnet to copy.

that is correct.

whoever donates the bonnet can have 2 bonnets to compensate for it. 1 to put on and 1 to sell or keep as spare :O

i am gathering pics of other bonnets made by the same company as we speak ;)

hello, im back again with pics

he has another shipment coming in a few weeks so when that lands ill have even MORE photos of the bonnets that came in :O

but for now, just gotta do with whats available.

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? :D

Fark I'm a picky bastard~

installation you can do yourself stan. ahaha

allow 2-3 months (might be a bit longer due to transit time, customs, waiting periods etc)

i will be showing off the 180sx bonnet on my car when it lands so then you can all see the quality :D

ali-turko, if you read my initial post, it stated how long it will take to be completed and you wait until all this time to say you're out cause its too long? i presume you didnt read the post at all mate.

for your information its $550 for a bonnet @ carmate. if you can get it for $500 then go get it mate. no need to ruin it for others.

gday, highly interested for r32-t

when do u think these will be ready and when do u need the money by?

also which design are we sticking with for the r32?

Please PM me thanx mate

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
