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 :)

p.s. ur gtr made me jizz :)

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
