I'd be up for one of them, Mines got a bit of damage which I have just bogged up. So that would be good.

I'm currently looking into making a fibreglass bonnet for my car. Not sure how well it will work but atleast it will give me something to do.

what style are you thinking as id put up some $$ for an iron mask drift style one :wassup:

do you have pics for this drift style iron mask?  would be interested if it looked the goods. :mad:

i'm thinking along the lines of those twin inward air ducts that allows more air flow through the radiator, think i posted a pic of a r31 version ages ago, i'll try to find a pic of what i'd be looking for in a bonnett :):)

Yeah I was thinking of something like a big backwards vent for more air flow. But yeah as I said I don't know how this will work, My mate does a fair bit of fibre glass work and is gonna give me a hand so have to wait and see.

I havent taken them yet :mad:  Law and managing a Blockbuster is leaving sfa time atm

plus I accidentally deleted your pm with your email

Shit eh! Blockbuster Manager????? hope you do it better there than they do it here.

I do all the security work for them here in Campbelltown, Narellan, & Minto (affectionately known as minnow, by the houseo's)

So we see them eventually eh!

I'm going to punch a couple of dozen louvres into my bonnet

hm my cars a DR30 iron mask turbo but has no vent in the bottom left. just normal front .. i often think i wish it had some kind of hole for air to get up to the Pod filter .. i had an NA front spoiler on my S13 so i cut like a grille style thing into the bumper to let air to up there a bit... not too keen on doing that to the DR though! :(

saw a couple of carbon fibre bonnets on Jap websites for DR30 iron mask ... thatd be damn cool ! costly though id imagine to buy a bonnet from jap and get it brought here :D i think i converted the cost at the time and it was like $850 to begin with before freight and tax and gst and watever else :)

']what grille? im confused? haha u mean that small bit of metal beneath the edge of the bonnet with 2 rectangle holes in it?  

and how would u open that up nemore!? haha  

just need like a Jenesis style front spoiler with big opening on it :(

Just hang in there for a while longer, I will probably be turning them out by the end of the year.

JENESIS style front bars

yes, your front grille.  Rather than messing with the bonnet, why not think about altering the grille?  Anyways, just thinking about costs.

You obviously don't know what a DR Tekamon grille looks like, otherwise you wouldn't make this comment.

AND [ant] it's fibreglass not metal!

ah fibreglass right. mine has a few chips touched up so it looks sorta metal but then yeh it does have a slightly different colour shade to the rest of the car so i guess that explains it =] mine rattles like all hell wen u tap on it and over bumps sometimes but i guess thats the metal sortof retaining thing inside of it making the racket !

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
