I have been TTRYING REAALLLY HARD to get Josh (or someone) at JSAI to answer my calls and emails but to no avail.

I am not getting one from www.nismo.com.au because it will cost about $1200 plus delivery.

It's much easier if you give up now, buy a 33 or a 34, for which they do more awesome bonnets like the Z tune.

Or get a 32 GT-R bonnet, probably as light as carbon but isn't copbait.

carbon fibre < stock GTR bonnet

i was looking around for ages for carbon fibre ones, not many places sell them due to illegal and all, mostly they will try get u too buy fibreglass.

though i think Jeremy at Styled to Race can get in carbon fibre ones.

I believe its 94 brendan but dont quote me, it also has something to do with whether your car came with airbags. Best bet is to ring the pits if you really want one.

Rule of thumb is you can for 32's and some 33's but not 34s and late model 33s

If you get a FULL carbon fibre bonnet it may be lighter than a GTR bonnet but by how much? 1kg? For the 1000 you spend I just cant justify the difference.

Plus theres the whole copbait thing

Carbon fibre bonnet's are illegal in WA

Hey, not trying to stir things up, but I´m new in Australia and was just about to order a carbon fibre hood for my R33.

Why is it illegal?!?!

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
