OK...Its time to "rice up" my car...;)

I plan to fit a new bonnet to my R33 GTS25 but I can't decide which way to go so I'm hoping that you guys can make the decision for me....

My problem is that I reckon the bonnet has too many vent holes and by removing the front vent I reckon will clean it up......but I just can't make up my mind damit....;)

So...what do you all think???

1. NO - Leave the bonnet as is......or

2. YES - Cover up the front air intake vent...

THANKS!!

it does look a little overboard with the vent for cold air to get to the filter, but it is a good idea and u will get colder air.

im also interested in a price for that style so let us know, also where ur getting it from.

If its just looks you are worried about, I'd get rid of the two trailing vents at the back either side of the main one, but really, it looks fine to me, mostly functional. I definitely would NOT get rid of the one that feeds to the air intake, thats a great idea-a cold air filter that avoids 90% of the problems people have with the low mount (e.g inner guard/under front bar) ones.

I like it the way it is.

cheers,

$650 total is an excellent price. they are going in sydney for around the $1000 mark.

just out of curiousity, if u did have the vents covered how would u do it? would u order the bonet with out the extra vents or could u fill the vents and remould carbon on the top?

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
