Hi devildougie,

I've done some research into bonnets like that back when I had my old r33 gtst. They look pretty nice and a good site to start looking for them at is unique autosport.

http://www.uniqueautosports.com/

Now, the only problem is that cutting a big hole into the bonnet is highly illegal as it takes away a lot of the bonnet's strength when you cut through it's bracing. The first cop to pull you over will issue you with a defect notice, however, you may have a better chance if you got a mechanic to weld in additional bracing to make up for that what you have cut out.

Alternatively, you can get one of the carbon fiber ones which are also highly illegal due to how they bust into "shards" of fiber glass on impact. They're purely for track work and even then the track official may have his doubts about the safety of your CF bonnet.

Just a couple points to consider mate. Don't worry, I spoiled my fun too when I was hunting for a nice vented bonnet (i now understand why you don't see them at all on the street anymore)

...hope the site has was you're after ;-)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      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.
