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?

      Rb26 iron block limit

      You can probably break everything and any point that's true. But with the "precautions" of building the entire engine and everything around it and with a solid tune I wouldn't expect that to happen right of the bat. 😛

      You don’t need to use full throttle all the time to break these blocks, 500kw at the wheels in more then enough to break them even with an occasional squirt. Hell I’ve seen them break under 400kw

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      A work around is to install the R35 card style AFM/MAF on the cold side of the intercooler piping and the BOV on the hot side piping. Works well, also you can combat the revs dropping by adding a bit more ignition timing on the idle ignition timing table to slow the rate of RPM drop.

      Understood. If you dont have a ridiculous limit,  Tune, T's and P's are in check, and arent bashing it all the time and doing the due deligence for maintenance(inc oil analysis) then its pretty safe. 100% agree, let your right food control it to some extent.

      So these external kits with the machined block for remote solenoid mount will only work on a NEO head and RB30 or RB26 bottom end   For an R33 head on a 26 bottom end the remote vct kit is to resolve RB26 manifold adaptor plates etc  IF you try to use the remote VCT on an RB30 or RB26 bottom end with an R33 head then  you can starve the cam journal??? I have one of these kits from bits I had years ago before plans changed  I don't understand how that tracks with this video   https://youtu.be/RuPiI22Mplk?feature=shared   This looks like I can run the v termite vct kit to feed the VCT on an R33 head on an RB26 bottom end?!?!?   Lol.... don't v have these problems on RB20s
