john: you install the U-shackle either through your factory latch hook , or by drilling a 6mm hole next to the factory latch hook (recommended)

you also drill a 6mm hole next to the bonnet latch and the spring hook connects to this... on my skyline i was able to just attach it to a hole already near the latch.. but on my silvia I had to drill one.

anyways, it stops you bonnet flying up if the factory latch fails, and it is mandatary at certain CAMS sanctioned events to have a secondary restraint. and for those that dont want to cut up their bonnet to put pins in.. its a cheap alternative.

the bonnet can still open a small amount, which is useful if theres a fire, and to open your bonnet the whole way you just unclip the spring hook.

I bought one of these to go drifting with earlier in the month (or later last month... either or lol)

It's fantastic. On my R33 its really, really easy to install (I did it the super, lazy, don't drill any holes way) and the only issue I had with it is that because I didn't drill any holes to install it, I need to be careful because the D shackle can foul on the latching mechanism, and it's not enough of an issue to make me want to drill the holes :D

I was going to use the battery triangles, but I left them at home :cheers:

IMO, great value for money (even more than Evil_Weevil's golf buggy strap :))

      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.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
