Ztune was my preferred option but I got turned off by:

A. Genuine part is ridicilously overpriced

B. Hard to find (genuine)

C. If i was to get a copy I would need bonnet pins to stop the bloody thing flying off at high speeds and collecting my windscreen along the way.. This would take away from the clean look and further more add to point "D"

D. Adds at least 50 points to the "Pull me over and defect me" factor :glare: . In its own is a huge defect due to being a CF bonnet

In saying this I will probably still go down the path and get one lol :P

I have mine painted both top and bottom...makes it far less obvious for defects, and so glad they make the smooth look bonnet pins now aswell....far cleaner look

A V-Spec II Bonnet is also Carbon Fibre.

I am aware - however if i purchase a vs2 bonnet it will be genuine and being an OEM Nissan item you would sincerely put some trust in knowing it wont fly off at higher speeds unlike a Ztune carbon fiber replica bonnet made by an external manufacturer where often or not looks > functionality and reinforcement and quiet frankly I dont trust the latch with these at high speeds.

Ive decided to go ztune w/ bonnet pins though despite my initial discomfort in using pins lol come at me boys in blue

Yeah, I was more so referring to point 'D.' you made in you post before.

But yes, safety and functionality is a high priority :)

Yo Phill, was trying to figure out what rims they were at WTAC?? Shed some light?

Rims are Do-Luck Double six in 18 x 10.5 +20 all round with 235 front and 245 rear.

Looks very nice :yes:

Woo nismo front bar.

Looks insane!

Thats not a Bayside blue is it? looks much richer or maybe its the camera or maybe its just my eyes? Whatever it is its come out great.

Being a little particular, but i reckon get the amber rear fog light cover to complete it

Still tossing up on if i should colour code my skirts and rear pods like this and the others above or leave them black, im liking both ways

Beautiful car. Just curious as to what guard work had to be done to fit 10.5 +20 all round??

Is the clearance any different between a 4 door and a 2 door?

thanks mate! the paint is House of Color Candy Cobalt Blue. the candy type of paint makes this rich effect. in real the color is much impressive, i plan to make hd video to show the color effect.

i thought of amber light, costs 50 usd brand new, but not sure if to install in, anyway this is GTT, not a GTR, i'm not into 100% copying GTR look, just made the body wider by GTR fenders...

the carbon made skirts and rear pods look nice and match the carbon bonnet, but if it's black better to paint them in car color, imo

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
