What's wrong with using the standard latch with a bit of steel cable with a D shackle at one end and a carabina at the other end as a secondary (or tertiary...) bonnet restraint? :cheers:

Not everyone is as ghetto as you Matty. :cheers:

car mate sells and installs them, or try www.vsport.com.au they have the proper ones on there not the cheap chinese ones that break after a week of having them on the car like my ones did :-/ i will be buying the ones off vsport.com for my car.... they even have carbon fibre ones lol

its for a c/f bonnet matt not for cams rules.

I would not be running a c/f or fibreglass bonnet without bonnet pins of some sort, and the aerocatch ones don't protrude from the bonnet which might keep the cops happier (not that a c/f bonnet is legal itself lol). down side of the aerocatch ones is they don't really fit properly after a bit of use - so probably ok on a road car where the bonnet doesnt open often but a PITA for a race car where it opens all the time

What can I say, it's the drifter / R31 owner in me. If the solution costs over $50 then it isn't worth going for :nyaanyaa:

c/f and / or FRP bonnets don't come with provisions for a standard latch? Learn something new :nyaanyaa:

They do come with standard latching point, most people prefer to have extra restraint at the edges as at speed the more flexible CF bonnet can lift up at thefront corners and in extreme cases this leads to broken latchs and bonnets on windscreens...

To the op, get aerocatch flush mounting latches from vsport.com.au and get Greg at Autosport engineering in kirrawee to install them. I did and was very happy with his work, as I always am.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
