As promised I took a couple of pics of the bonnet that freddy made for me, its only been placed on the car and has'nt been fitted along with the light covers etc. All I can say is that I would recomend Freddy (TopStage) to anyone, his done a mint job and exactly what I wanted. I'll put more pics up once the car is painted etc. Hopefully in the booth next weekend...

PIMP DAT- 250-260 on only .9 bar is unreal mate cant wait to see it.

Adzmax- Yeah mate it looks very similar, I still thought the real one had a bit too much venting. I cant believe how slow everything is going, but it will get there before summer :P, we will def have to go for a cruise when its back on the road.

Just a query, when changing bonnets to CF or adding large vents, does it need an engineering cert? I've heard conflicting advice, some people say it does not, as it's like a body kit, others say it does, as it alters the cumple zone characteristics.

I only ask as I'm considering a new bonnet for my 32, and am floating up going CF or getting a GTR bonnet and putting a vent where the air pod is.

DAZ, THat is niceeeeeeee dazzzz.. make sure you bring your bitch around once finished mate....

Adzmax for production, we have R34 single dip that we are releasing very soon. that nismo slats style vents are bad news for RB coil packs man i the rain...... guaranteed in couple of weeks in rainy days you'll be crying for new sets. that's why i do single vented for skylines ( caring for customers here :( )

BUT.... if you want moulded on the existing bonnet, i'll do it and i will place drip tray underneath them to protect the coil packs.

Kozeyekan the facts is.... if you have fiberglass or CFreinforced with fiberglass bonnet, you'll be safe as long as it has crumple zone. it has to be specified in the product specs. because conventional CF bonnet will snap on the hinge part and it will be bad news.

the safest bet for you is... do waht DAZ did, modify your OEM bonnet.

attached couple of my multi slats vents that is available now ready to mould it on your bonnet.

I like the look of that. Could you PM me a rough quote to modify a GTS-4 bonnet to include a smaller, side mounted vent? (i.e. above the pod) or something similiar?

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
