Hi fellas,

So I purchased a "Carboniferous bonnet" for my R33. :/

I now need some flush bonnet pins to put my soul at ease when I'm doing high speeds on the freeway...I have heard that the above brand makes good ones at affordable prices...can someone please comment or recommend other brands and places where I can get them - a rough price would also be good.

$110 for the ones on my old 180, also purchased from revo racegear :)

Work a treat!

Thanks mate... do they grip decently and are easy to install? Cheers mate...

Does anyone else have this on a R33?

They work a treat! Definately worth the piece of mind.

The only hard part would be lining up the pin with the latch on the bonnet. If you were gonna install them yourself, make sure it's 100% before you start cutting at your bonnet. Otherwise, any reputable panel shop can line, cut and install them for you :blush:

Awesome, I just put through an order with JJ the owner - he's really helpful.

Thanks mate...I'll definitely be getting a professional panel shop to install this for me.

Cheers,

Bought a pair of AeroCatch's out of the UK about a year ago without the locks for $80 including postage (i remember they retailed for 30 pounds), i'd say they'd be a bit cheaper now. The ones with the locks were $110 back then.

Great design, awesome customisability (you can mount the pin in 3 different directions, so it doesn't necessarily have to go into the radiator mount (although this is the easiest and most aesthetically pleasing way on the skylines)... the template that comes with it is a great help too when installing.

There's only one brand, AeroCatch... I haven't really come across any knockoffs or china brand copies yet, although at the prices shipped out of the UK I cbf'd with a copy. Fucked if I can remember who the retailer in the UK was though.

Bought the Aerocatch bonnet pins from Revolution Racegear (lockable version) for $110. Got my panel beater to install them as the car was there getting the front resprayed, track days had the whole front sandblasted, including windscreen...

They are much better than the old traditional bonnet pin style, you can hardly tell they are there.

Ideal for a street car, less noticeable....

plus the metal bonnet pins with the ring pull, the common type, are FUGLY, flush ones like these are fuxxing porn though :)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
