Right, I've got 2 holes in my factory GTR bonnet from bonnet pins which can't go back on cause they broke whilst coming off (old).

Who can fix the holes? Any random body shop or do I need to take it somewhere cause its aluminium? Rough cost?

Or should I just get some of these fitted? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-D1-sanko-plus-flush-bonnet-pin-kits-drift-nissan-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4156bdf424QQitemZ280628163620QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_4378wt_972

What would you do? Cheers.

I doubt anyone is going to want to weld those up.. when I was looking at getting some sort of bulge in my bonnet, no-one even wanted to go near it with a cutting wheel for fear of it warping the whole bonnet.

I cut up my ally bonnet with an angle grinder, then glassed and fillerised one of those walkinshaw bulges to it... no dramas

I'd just fit new bonnet pins on or glass over it, smooth it out and respray :thumbsup:

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
