i havnt got a carbon hood mainly cause im pretty sure they're illegal due to them not crumpeling, instead they shatter and that worries me about insurance being void, there is a place in queensland www.blitsbodykits.com.au, fibreglass kits but apparently they are the only guys in aus that make road legal fibreglass hoods worth checking out if your interested

I always thought black cars looked a bit odd with CF bonnets.. You get that sexy black effect, then a asshat grey bonnet. :P

I always wanted to get an OEM style CF bonnet, but paint it the colour of the car. Less in-your-face-look-at-me kinda.

And i also had the plan of re-clearing it with a tinted clear so it pretty much looks like the factory colour, but when your up close you can see a hint of CF weave ;)

Nice.... this is wht I wanted to get too... I agree, black cars look odd ith full CF hoods... but if you paint them, they look mad... well, I've rang around a few places... cheapest I could find was $700 - that's pretty expensive... nearly $1K for a hood... I don't know, might not proceed..

Anyone got a second-hand one they wanna sell? :banana:

They look good if you get the right one but i got myn to keep the engine temp down and it worked :D

Maybe you should just mould a vent on to a stock bonnet

Well, I guess depends on which CF bonnet.

No, molding a vent on the original bonnet is like a commodore with the 3M-double sided tape ones. yuk. :(

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂

      Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
