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

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
