Granthem, is the bonnet alloy?

Its very very similar to my one - dad custom made it, test run on a yellow one (34 gtt, [eximporters]), then final one on ezy34. He cut up the original bonnet - crazy man.

Guess what. The bonnet is metal! Threw a magnet on it and sure enough she sticks.

So I guess chances are, I ended up with the bonnet your dad made for a yellow GTT. Its a bloody good job.

And it means far less trouble from the police, not being fibreglass!

SCORE :D

Probably :P

Haha, nice, a few years ago, found a yellow 34, with a similar bonnet, also nsw.

Yep, far less trouble ;) Genuine part as well ;)

Enjoy it.

Ok heres my engine after the rebuild and taahdaah it looks stock standard just the way i wanted it (dont wanna get hassled by the boys in blue). Makes 310awkw now which is good i was only hoping for 300. Only visible difference is the pod cover and the diversion plate (needed it to hide new 100mm fmic) . Sorry about clarity was taken with my iphone..

Some more pics of my car :) now with wing removed and some mesh inserts removed from teh front bar. Frnt bar is looking a lttle worse for wear atm, driving behind trucks carrying gravel isnt a smart idea, neither is taking the M1 from the southside atm with all the loose gravel through the road works. ;)

no offence sammy but have you ever liked any other front bars? i feel like the c west you have atm is letting your car down so much. of course this is my personal thought.

liek you said its a bit beatn up so why not use it as an excuse to get something else ?

Out of Interest could your dad make another one of these bonnets? If so how much? Im sick of the stock look now I want the looks to match the go, going to blend with Impul full kit and perhaps wingless or GTR wing (I prefer the later, its just Impul drags the body down so much it seems to look better wingless)

    • I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.

    • lol no cats running str pipes … might put the high flow back on but I suspect it might effect my ignition timing a bit. 
    • That looks a bit like yellowing to me. If the rear bar was looking like that from rich idle, I'd ask the question, do you have a catalytic converter fitted, and fully working?
    • Oh yeah gets really bad down here. I’ll have to upgrade the heater and wind screen wipers as well for optimal performance.
