If you're in the right spots A, the 1st and last hour of the day are the best times for colour and texture; so in the place you were at, you've done well!

Agree with this Terry, although this spot is better in the morning opposed to the afternoon as the sun is over the ocean and you dont get the shadows from nearby buildings... but they turned out ok after all.. pretty happy with them

Looks fantastic with the bonnet mate. You'll have to update your sig pic now :P

Cheers mate, haha was going to replace it but didnt get one today that I liked that is long and skinny etc... Will do soon though I'm sure.

^^^ very nice Mate, like it with the front diffuser back on! And the plates

Thanks mate, wish I had the front diffuser on for the other above photo too, would have completed it.

They were just happy snaps after the detailing process but actually came out pretty good.

Cheers mate, haha was trying to get the sun on the right angle when I parked... Massive car park so was all good ha

Hey Anthony car looks Awesome! The yellow looks much better in person as well

Just curious were did you source your bonnet from and is it original?

Thanks mate, agree the yellow is different in person, and the black wheels show up much better ha.

With the bonnet, I posted a wtb add here and surprisingly within days import monster contacted me saying he had one... I was very lucky I think... And yea it's original, used to be white as there were no yellow vsii's made.

Very nice Pics ...Yellow looks mad.

Also would like to know the story on the bonnet.... dont mind having NACA duct added to my normal bonnet..if at all possible.

Cheers mate.

you can add the NACA duct to the original aluminium bonnet, Terry did this on his black GTR.. turned out really good, but i believe it was slightly easier on that one as it was black, so the tie with the duct was very easy. I considered doing this also, but i wanted to keep my bonnet original, so the cost of buying another aluminium bonnet and modifying that etc.. would have cost too much in the end for me.. I was just lucky to find an original vsii bonnet for a decent price..

there is one for sale atm on here for 3500.. looks in good condition to... but after painting would cost around the 4k mark... alot of money for it, but they are so rare so i guess they can command pretty high prices!

$3500 for the factory vs2 bonnet :O wow these things are worth more than gold these days..

Would you by any chance know what price range your looking at for modifying the original bonnet with the NACA duct ??

the NACA duct its self is cheap, around $50 or less.. then just pending were you take it to fit it and how much paint etc is needed to touch up around it and finishing etc, i would guess that $750 would be more than enough.. maybe around the $500 mark..

i dont think the NACA you buy seperate will have the exact out line of the factory one though... but that could probably be modified to be very close to it etc..

I might go the Carbon Z-tune COPY or nismo S-tune bonnet COPY, being a black car. the Carbon items looks nice on it. The prices people pay for OEM R34 items are crazy. stuff like original rear diffusers, rare M-spec seats, VSII bonnets, Nismo rear lights go for ridiculous amounts these days

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
