hey man,

Lights are the same, as long as you have bugeye with GTR grille connectors or the N1 lights

as for the bonnet catch, you can either use a GTR one like above, or get the GTS-t one, move it to the back of the support :D so drill holes behind hte exist holes and move it about 1-2cm furthur back :P did that when I got my GTR fibreglass bonnet, works very well :)

OK thanks!! Seems pretty easy!

Whats a Bugeye? lol

If i have standard R32 Gts-t lights what would I need to buy to make the bonnet work? :rofl:

You can fit a GTR bonnet with any headlight. The only difference would be that some don't have the brackets to hold the grille on. As long as you modify/change your bonnet latch, a GTR bonnet will fit.

GTR bonnet is SOOO much lighter than gtst lol, when i felt one i was like "WTF"

Haha yeah, i went to open the hood on a mates R34 GT and for a bit I thought the lock was stuffed, but no it really is that heavy.

hey man

i got your PM,

I'll get a pic up tonight when i get home

Basically here's a rundown:

remove current latch

you'll see the two bolt holes, get a drill say a 10mm drill piece, drill straight through the bolt holes to the back of the reinforcement bar, then you move the latch about 1" towards the engine and bolt it to the new holes

you use the bolts inside the engine bay in exactly the opposite way of when you have the latch in it's normal position,

I'll post up the technique and what it looks like tonight

Alright :P here goes, sorry about the crappy pics, must bumper, ligths and other things are off at the moment, because i'm stripping it fora respray

Here are the existing bolt holes, with bolts removed, I drilled through to the rear of these

new018.jpg

These are how the bolts sit now, backwards to where they were, with the radiator still fitting in nicely :rofl:

This shows my radiator, if fits with the stadnard one, but that one is a 240sx(180sx) radiator from the states, 55mm thick >_< triple core, best of all if only cost me $220NZD :( plus a $10 top pipe from a commonwhore from stupidcheap auto, very cheap and good upgrade, fully recommend it

do a search for aluminum 240sx radiator on ebay :( and get one

All i had to do was tap a hole for the water temp sender and the thing never even gets over 1/2 way even without hte fan running sitting at idle for 30 minutes :)

Bottom pipe lines up perfectly, goes into existing radiator holes

what it looks like now, see how the bolts are at the back and the catch is about 1"(2.5cm furthur back)

Testing the latch

Clicks closed :) perfect

sorry for the late reply :S

sits exactly the same as the standard bonnet :P no lower or higher, changing the bolts to the other side doesn't hit the radiator eitehr :D perfectly cheap mod

also if you need a cheap 50mm core radiator, go like the one above, same height, mounting points as the R32, just different top pipe location

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
