hey peepx, just got a new bonnet which will be installed in a weeks time but did a trial fit and took pics of it. And also the CF gauge holder which i had for awhile but too lazy to take any pics. finally took pics of it and thought i should share it here. :P Pardon me for the crappy pics taken on my mobile. Next should be a turbo upgrade if business goes well. :P

Hate to break it to ya bud but the bonet will definately be illegal. Not only for the obvious fact that it's carbon fiber, but also because of the rear facing vents. The pod guage looks ok though, though I would paint it to match the dash as it doesn't really blend in or look like it belongs, but that's just my opinion :P

yea, thats what i thought but when i saw it in the flesh, i realized that the center part, there are no holes which means i have no vents facing me? :D with the gauge i think its not matching the surround as well! hence i am looking around for CF surround right now. :P damn, now i sound like a CF sucker. lol

hahah. Well if there's no reverse facing holes, I say porn!!

But yeah personally I'd be looking at doing something about the colour of the CF surround, but definately a +1 for awesome on the Deffi guages too :P They aren't cheap, but they are bloody good.

Word has it that Deffi do a replacement instrument cluster for the standard in-dash R32 GTR clusters, want to have a look into that :D But also, not cheap, something around the $800 mark I hear? Still want to look into it :P

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
