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?

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!

      Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By Tekitsune · Posted

      I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
