hey guys,

well i just purchased a carbon fibre bonnet for my r32 gtr not long ago, i purchased off sau's, it was in excellent condition but the freight company damaged it while coming my way because of idiots not wrapping it up properly, it has a little crack on the bottom corner of the bonnet and a scratch on the drivers side of the bonnet in the middle, they are not really noticeable but im just fussy and i need it done asap, please guys just help me with this,

cheers tony

same thing happened to me dude :) .

i think it would be pretty tuff to repair. Getting the fibre strands to match up would be nearly impossible.

i was always planning on painting mine anyway so i don't have to worry to much.

with the crack, any damaged to the carbon fibre wave? if not, the panel beater should be able to fix the crack, re-rasin and do the clear coat same as the scratch, he can rub it and put the new clear coat

if the carbon wave damaged, no way he can fix it without painting new colour in that area.. if u have to paint, paint around the edge of the bonnet and blend it to the centre of the bonnet and leave the centre section for the carbon fibre look..

look for 2GU UP's car in the photo section, he paint the bonnet and leave the centre section for carbon fibre

hope this make sence to U

cheers

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
