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?

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
