I was considering a carbon fibre bonnet which would look fantastic on my White R32 GTR but the problem is that it is illigal in NSW. I need a touch up on some chips on it anyway and was wondering what people think about just painting the stock alloy bonnet in gloss black instead? Has anyone else done it? Got any pics?

Go a FG hood with an intake for the pods...if legal. Black hood on a white car...if it has the right wheels and a few other styling cues, will look hard core JDM time attack...check your hyper rev :) If its lighter you can go the "I'm saving weight" route but if its a painted aluminium hood then its a bit try hard IMHO. Go for it

if you want a CF bonnet I say do it. if you have a problem with the law down the track deal with it if/when it happens. just please don't buy one of the cheap arse ones with the 3 vents and the silver mesh and the high gloss finish. damn they look like arse.

are carbon bonnets illegal in nsw? lol since when..? seen sooo many rice boys hooning in their carbon hooded toys.. hmm.. but i guess everythings illegal now ay.

i know if i was really keen on a carbon fibre bonnet still that didnt stand out as much, i'd go for a simple design if not just oem style and paint it the same colour as my car. that way, its definitely not for show and all for go (except those sexy bonnet pins lol)

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
