Hey guys not sure if this is the right section to be asking but please delete if I'm wrong! ^_^

Whats everyone think of smoked tail light centers? Just a photoshop of the last picture but I love it and think I'll do it soon625535_561547750546261_1221693203_n.jpg

That looks quite good! Really highlights against the white. I think the question would just be how it looks under braking?

@@Dillon34, what's it like with the lights and blinkers on?

It looks good with the lights on (see picture) but the blinkers don't look as good to be honest. Paint wasn't perfect and it really shows up when the blinkers are on, also although they are still clear to see....they are more red than orange for some reason haha

Not ideal but I'm happy with it all in all

Car look great! Lights are nice as well. Awesome pic Drew. May I ask where you picked up the bonnet from?

Thanks, I've been waiting ever since I picked up the GTR around 4 years ago to get this bonnet lol Its a Border Bonnet, picked it up from a mate who's car it was on when he got it into the country and he wanted the Z-Tune style so I grabbed it off him. Priced it up to bring one in from Japan and it was around 3.5k. Its Carbon Fibre but I had mine painted by BodyForm Motorsports @ Smithfield to blend in with the rest of the car.

Ah right. Quite lucky then! I've seen quite a few companies in Aus have the Z-Tune style one available to buy (not to mention the endless supply of cheap copies) but not this one. I do really like that one though. Can you still use the standard strut brace with that bonnet or have you got an aftermarket one?

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
