Hey guys,

Here's a group buy that I set up: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...et-t346009.html

Carmate is offering us ANY style of R34 GTT fibreglass bonnets at a discounted rate of 10 people 10% and 20 people 15% plus postage.

They currently have I think couple of R2 (Z-Tune style and one is mine) and T2 styles on shelf :down:

So whoever gets themselves on the list first will take what they have in stock, instead of waiting 5-8 weeks :ph34r:

Just wondering... Is it a REALLY REALLY bad idea to not use bonnet pins with a fibreglass bonnet?....

Because the pins will ruin the clean look of my car lol

I'd consider getting the flat ones, they look pretty good for what they are, and are legal

just make the secondary bonnet restraint with a cable with latch if you want. Enough length so that when the bonnet pops open you can undo the factory latch, open it up enough to undo the secondary restraint inside

That sounds good, but how do I do that? lol

Also, what would cause the bonnet to flip?.... Is it because the latch frame thingy on the fibreglass bonnet just snaps off or what?

i guess it depends on how well the bonnet latch has been integrated into the bonnet? that i think the fg bonnets have more of a tendency to twist/flex

go aerocatch or secondary restraint cable thingy

hey mate

i know its an old post..but i am looking for the Ztune bonnet for my R34 GTT .. is jap warehouse your supplier.. can we still get the bonnets for 630$ pick up..?

Yeah no worries at all. The kits are made by Josh from JSAI, but I'm getting it through a distributor in VIC, called Jap Warehouse. Mu Secret is another distributor in another state.

If you go to JapWarehouse, just say Charles from SAU sent you, he will try and look after you.

Here's a pic of the kit:

I've also asked about the bonnet, I got a price for 2 bonnets, $630ea picked up. Which normally are $695ea.

Carmate does it for $650 posted.

But my supplier did say if we get 10, there would be a bigger discount, so I'm just waiting to see how much it will be for each if there's an order of 10.

      You could try some less aggressive pads on the rear. I found (a long time ago when all my brakes were stock 32) that using the same (Bendix Ultimate) pads at both ends made the rear bias excessive. I strongly suspect that the stock Nissan pads probably use a different material, but aftermarket pads will usually be the same material regardless of what pad they are put onto. That bias situation did get better when I put R33 calipers on the front AND used the same pads - just transferred them from old to new calipers. So you should feel the difference with the change you're making. But certainly do not forget the option to change the rear pads down a grade or two.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Ha ha, sorry dose, I wasn't meaning to argue the point on "it'll do f**k all". I was only shining a bit of a light in the flawed logic you used with it mate.   I 100% agree that there is zero point changing stock manifold with a stock turbo, unless the manifold is f**ked. And only reason I'd ponder aftermarket manifold on a stock turbo would be that I'm too scared too look at the potential ludicrous prices people are asking for a stock manifold! Ha ha ha

      Your response is extremely similar to what someone on the Haltech tuning tips Facebook page answered me. I take it you're also on there haha. Dyno is booked for June 27th and that's exactly what I'll be doing. I also realized I never setup a pulse width adder table so I went and did that last night. Made a fair bit of fueling difference in low load areas.  I sorted out my power steering belt woes. It was an alignment issue and it has now survived multiple instances of abuse that would have killed it prior. I also changed my fuel pump hose. The hose I replaced looks nothing like the legit gates hose I received. Real hose is actually 5/16" and is labelled properly. Amazon refunded me but has been giving me grief about my nasty review I'm trying to leave... I keep having to modify it for acceptance. I want to make sure the point gets across to others.  Last issue I want to deal with soon is the slight vibration I get in my steering wheel with my GKTech Spacers in front. My annoyance has grown and I'm at a point where I want it resolved. I've tried everything I can come up with like clean spacers thoroughly, tighten in star pattern, retorque, have wheels rebalanced 4-5x with a variety of machines (2x with a Hunter elite). I've also taken the spacers off and remounted multiple times just in case.  I'm starting to think my GKtech spacers are at fault. I'll pop a wheel off and toss a dial indicator on tomorrow to verify runout and parallelism.
