Hey guys, lookin to get a vented bonnet for my 33 soon but really dont want fibreglass as it looks all wavy when painted.

And I dont exactly want carbon fibre because i want my bonnet to be colour coded to the car.

If anybody has any advice/suggestions/information please let me know.

Thanks!

What do you mean by wavy? If the people painting the fibreglass know what they are doing it will turn out fine.

Carbon fibre can be painted over to match your car.

If you know how to metal work, modify your bonnet yourself after looking at the fibreglass/CF ones, otherwise be prepared to pay big $$$ to get this done out of metal.

There is a post here somewere were a guy cut out his bonnet and inserted mesh, in a beemer i think, still retained all reo.

Looked swish to me.

Thinking about doing it myself as f/g and c/f will pull a defect depending on what state your in.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
