Bit off topic, but how hard is it to paint a carbon fibre bonnet to match the car? Like can you get a perfect match with the paint or will it look different due to the carbon fibre bottom layer? Probably covered before but i cbf searching :laugh:

If you're going to paint it, wouldn't you just get a fibreglass one and save yourself $200-300. Pay for the paint job by saving on the bonnet.

It can be quite hard, however if you are using an experienced body shop you should be fine.

how does the engine hold up when it rains?

wont the coilpacks/sparkies of the engine get wet?

or does this not affect it?

I've heard of a few isolated dramas, however remember that most people have a spark plug cover. It may cause a drama if you have a vented coil pack cover and you leave it in the rain.

I've been wanting to get one.. but i've been told that they're illegal unless ADR approved?

Where do i get one that is?

Nobody that I know sells ADR approved bonnets. Having said that, I have also never heard anybody first hand have dramas with the police. I have heard stories from peoples brothers half sisters long lost cousins husbands kid had a run in with the police, but I don't really trust them.

can anybody confirm whether these are available for series 2?

I can confirm that we don't sell them for series 2, as for others I'm not sure. FYI we have the blazer style for the series 2.

This is the only S2 bonnet I found which has the Z-Tune vents on it, but it's also got some retarded big vent above it. (Plus the company is in the UK anyway.)

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

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
