google vertical hood....go on i dare ya :wub:

its pretty easy theres two little tabs on the hindge which bottom out at full extension... i used a hammer and chisel to bend these back. some ppl cut them off but the beauty of bending them back is that they still provide friction when u go past the normal point.

some updates!

I got some clear headlight covers from http://www.2-up.com.au/ and the quality is awesome.. got to work on the old lights getting the lenses off and that was fun thats for sure. put the covers on and they fit perfect. sealed them up and let them set then chucked them on today along with new front bar.

looks a lot better now thats for sure just gotta get some corner lights!

got a new Gate as well as some poncams. will be putting them in and then hitting up winton very soon.

heres some pics.

pretty cool build.

I have the same sort of setup. s14 series 1, r33 rb25 with 3037s, makes 296rwhp on 15psi. hope to see this at winton for drift attack!

Yeah I'll be there mate. Just got retune with poncams and now makes 330 rwkw and near 600 nm torque!!! Goes well lol

full boost at 3400 rpm. .63 rear housing using 100 ron fuel. and yeah the poncams retain the VCT.. is sweet!

hey simon. i would have thought you would have the .81 housing but guessing the .63 is what helps with response? im just in the process of getting a new turbo setup. manifold and gate are sorted but im trying to select the best turbo combination to keep good response.

at the moment we have decided on a GT3076R with the serge compressor housing and a .63 rear. but im am concerned that it wont flow enough.

depends on what your end power goals are... the .63 does 300 rwkw no worries at all.. has all the responce in the world. i love it! dont need to rev the shit out of it to get power u can just ride the fat torque band in the midrange.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
