Hey all,

Just purchased a v35 sedan, am absolutely loving it, but am annoyed by some marks it has on the bonnet.

I've been trying to track down a replacement bonnet with little success so far.

Have had a chat with a mate at the local Nissan dealership and i can get one freighted across from japan for around $770, but its an 8-12 week wait. I've done the usual internet trawl and called a few importers but haven't had any luck yet.

Does anyone know where i may be able to source one from? The car is the regular v35 silver so i can't imagine it'd be overly hard to find.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Matt

Hey guys,

thanks for the quick replies!

As for the yahoo japan idea, that has crossed my mind, but i'd rather get one locally. If i have to import it i'll just get it through Nissan.

Chris, if your mate happens to get a silver bonnet, could you shoot me a pm, i'd be very keen!

Thanks

matt

is it that bad that they can't be resprayed/repainted?

Yeah... i would think repainting it will be a cheaper option. It's a factory Nissan colour, so it should be pretty easy getting the colour code and have the bonnet repainted instead. :huh:

Guys, bonnet has lots of small dints from a kind stone shower, making it too hard to repair/repaint.

Chris, i'm in melbourne, but would be happy to pay shipping, if he does have one that would be ace, just let me know what he is chasing for it via pm :)!

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
