got bored tonight and had a play with photoshop while making a new avatar.

you've probably seen it all before, but wouldnt it be cool if you could get actually bonnets like this! i'd buy one in a jiffy!

its not the best photoshop job, but just looked cool with the red so i thought i'd share! :thumbsup:

you can do it in real life. you need to thermoform lexan onto your existing bonnet then somehow put up with the underbonnet bracing showing thru :thumbsup:

looks pretty funky funky monkey!

would look cooler if it was brushed like in the pic and slowly faded to clear in the middle though, not just a cut out! :P

if my car was a show car i'd get one made out of lexan or perspex or something just for shows!

There's a few show cars getting around with lexen bonnets, completely see through... some have whole bonnets, some have large areas like the picture shown up there...

not impossible, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal

if it wasnt a bit ricey, i'd probably go ahead and just do it because if i get pulled over i'm pretty much f**ked anyway.

might as well go down in style and frame the next defect notice. :)

couldn't you use the bracing for a bonnet that has a cut out bit, and just have a see through cover or something and just paint that, so it would look similiar to that?

i don't know how o explain my idea but it'd be good.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
