Hey guys,

Bit of a bimbo question. Im soon going to be cutting open my bonnet to fit a Z tune style universal bonnet vent. Im currently running splitfire coilpacks with the coilpack cover removed..

Just wondering what i should do once i fit this bonnet vent? Should i simply just not take the car out at all when it rains or just fit the cam cover back on once ive fitted the bonnet vent?

Let me know what you guys have all done...

Thanks

The vented bonnet should come with a piece of metal that you can bolt back on to cover up the vents from underneath.

When it is cold and wet, you won't need the vent as the ambient temp's are a lot lower.

Have you jet washed your engine with the cover removed? did it fark it up? If it hasn't you should be fine because less water would get in through the vents than a jet wash, and at lower pressure :)

I have a carbon vented bonnet and I've never had a problem with water in the bay. That said i do have a cover on the coils, but I jet wash it and theres no problems.

+1 put the cover back on

hmmmmm

Am i defeating the purpose at all of the vented bonnet if i put the cover back on the coilpacks?

I understand the purpose of a vented bonnet isnt only to keep the ignition system cooler but im just thinking what things would give way first with too much heat....

not much you can do unless it comes with the plate like mentioned earlier, my mate just bought a border racing bonnet from jap and the vent is HUGE! BUT it was designed for FC rx7's so the vent spills the watter into an area with no electrics and what not.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
