ive got a 4" grinder here thatd do a fine job

what sort of customise are you lookin for its easy as to cut afew holes then glue mesh underneath cheap too

or for vents and the like try some of the bigger bodykit shops good place to start

then of course theres always the mighty internet stores garanteed to have sumit

Yeah that's what I'm discovering ;) went to see a few shops yesterday.. I shall stuff around with the piping tonight and see if I can get away without modifying the bonnet..

It will be a toss up between the cheapest way to go.. custom bonnet, whole fibreglass bonnet, custom piping/forward facing plenum.. the last option really steps away from the "stock" under bonnet look I was hoping to maintain but oh well.. you gotta do what you gotta do :rofl:

could buy a buldge or something ba xr8 STYLE not the same but yer gettin that put on your your original bonnet wouldnt cost much. Are you looking to get more clearance for I/C piping or high mount orrr something else? or you could raise your bonnet at the rear with rubber washers so it is kinda on an angle depending how much room you need to make

Need to make room for the RB30 that is now under the hood :D at the moment it's hitting on the stock bov and the cooler pipe that goes over the fan and connects to the crossover pipe.

Going to try a 25det crossover pipe, that should buy me 20mm maybe and I'll get a couple of 45deg and a 90deg silicon bend and some more 2.5" pipe and attempt to get that pipe over the fan lower.. with a bit of fiddling I should be able to get it back down to where it was before the 30 went in.

ask fiber vision near dowd street in welshpool they do that kind of stuff

Fibrevision 38 Banksia Road, WELSHPOOL WA 6106 Ph: [618] 9458 8998 :(

Cool, I spoke to the guy at GT Fibreglass aswell - he put a BA bulge in a friend of a friends' EL bonnet. If my piping adventure isn't succesful I'll be ringing around :P

Whats been done to the 30?

Set of forgies and just running everything that was on my rb20, standard injectors, rb25 turbo etc. Will be running a bigger set of injectors and a z32 afm when it gets tuned in a couple of weeks.

known 'problem' with teh extra deck height of the rb30 in the 32's

if i remember rightly from what ive read the stock cross-over pipe should work with a 'massage' (ie read bash) of the reinforcing bars on the underside of the bonnet

It's not so much the crossover pipe that's the problem, the crossover pipe is no higher than the strut brace that I had to remove. It seems to be mainly the location of the rb20 bov, also hitting on cooler pipe across the top of the fan. Will attack it with some fresh piping :dry:

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
