Hey guys lots of cars have gas struts on the bonnets, i bet that there is some car out there that has exactly the right struts and brackets to fit straight onto ours, or maybe with a slight modification. The thing ive noticed is that most bonnets that have gas struts installed are very light flimsy bonnets where ours are quite heavy ..

Are you serious??

33 bonnets are light compared to your typical ford or commodore, also the problem is that most cars have the mount on the side of the bonnet its self, but because skyline bonnets are so thin and flimsy you cant put anything there, the main bracket needed is the one on the hinge, the one on the guard is easy, just use a 90 degree mount off a commodore.

i think its the opposite my r33 gtst bonnet to me seems bulky and seems like it would be heavy, my friends commodore bonnet is that thin it moves while driving .. but everyone is entitled to an opinion im not saying your wrong, its just my opinion, i reckon a mechanic that sees alot of cars would be the best to ask if thyere may be something that could be a close match ..

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
