A hoy hoy,

For those who have raised the rear of the bonnet by putting in the washers etc - what size washers did you use, where did you get them from, and how many do you need?

Cheers!

hope you like having increased temps. Because that's all you're going to get out of this excersise.....

It does not help vent hot air out, it actually forces air back in, and doesnt allow hot air to escape.

a much less ghetto-spec thing to do (if you have to do it at all) is just to get some aluminium pipe with an I.D similar to the (longer) hinge bolts, and cut two pieces to the length you want, and install it with a washer underneath the bonnet mounting points.

just make sure the cuts are flush, mmmkay!

Chris,

Dont forget to check your bolt length once you put these spacers in, you want enough thread in the holes.

also you should remove the rubber seal from accross the plastic shroud in that area to increase the area letting air in/out.

-im with drift pig, but yeah you can only try it out and see if it works for you.

Cheers guys,

Yeah my bolt is only like 10 - 12mm long?

Too much hassle me thinks :D - I'll just borrow Doof's vented bonnet for track days :D

Yeah, you will need to get longer bolts... mine are bout half inch longer or so...

i was contemplating buying another bonnet to cut up myself... Fricggen SII so expensive

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
