not shaw if they were recalled but it might be a bit of a common thing with skylines, my r33 did the same thing a few weeks ago I was doin 120km when I went over a small bump and the bloody thing just poped, it didn't fly up or anything just realeased the catch, not good at that speed.

Well luckily for me I have never taken my car anywhere as fast as you speed maniacs :cheers:

But in the event that I do, I may have to look at bonnet pins.

Seriously though, that would be a very frightening thing to have happen. did it cause much damage?

mine didn't fly all the way up it just poped the catch, it hasn't happan since so it was probably just a one off

you shoudl be able to adjust your bonnet catch. when i put my fmic in i had to adjust my bonnet so that the mount could attach. it made it so my bonnet woudlnt shut until i adjusted it. maybe its a bit out. if it does pop up at all. i would be very worried.

give it a few pulls and make sure its fully sercure. also check that the retracting spring for your bonnet latch is firm, the spring might not be returning it full, allowing it to open. i would hate to see your bonnet laying on the highway.

good luck fixing the problem.

That could be the problem for the last owner had a fmic fitted on the car but took it off before I bought the car ,I will check it out today.

Thanks for the help

    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
