So, i was sick of the stickers from the dodgy paint so i figured i would pull the stickers off and just put some white vinyl or something over them to look clean from a distance, BUT that didnt exactly go to plan so now i need the bonnet resprayed properly :dry: I was planning on going to a Blits bonnet and getting it painted but i dont have the time now so ill just get the heavy ass steel one done....

Although its a pain in the ass at least the shitty HT sticker is now off! No more laughter from a certain DVS man! :nyaanyaa:

So the bonnet is going to the shop tonight, fingers crossed itll all be complete and back on by Thursday!

Bahahahaha

At least it's still shiny

You buffed it to bare metal man! :P Nah all good, it will look heaps better with the paint fixed! Its still pretty shiny thanks to you!

now i see why you need your bonnet painted lol

Told you it was bad :P

Removed it at 5.30pm, at panel shop at 6, work commenced at 6.15pm!! Love it.... Bare metal Respray and some dents to be fixed too :yes:

So bonnet is off and it is down with the painter for repairs, he noticed 2 minor dents which ive never seen and also suggested we respray the lip. He is going out of his way to work on it of a night for me which i am really grateful for especially given the Thursday deadline....

GREX oil cooler block with Thermostat has been ordered thanks to the help of Dean for locating it for me!! Will run custom black braided lines and speedflow fittings for the stealth factor :ph34r:

always seems to be some old V8 around, what tyres you using on the rear? would it smoke more if the tyre was soft compound, im trying to figure out how to make the most smoke when i do a burnout at the drags next, smoking out the spectators would be a awesome feat :yes:

Yeah soft tyres should be better for smoke.... They are just 275/35/18 Nexans.... No grip lol

But they would pump smoke of you have good wheel speed and stay stationary, that was peeling smoke while moving at a fair pace.... There is a video coming from a car behind on one of the laps so I'll finally see how much it made lol...

The more traction you have, the more smoke it will make.

Challenge accepted!! At least you finally got some sort of skid video :P

It is sitting nice and high out of harms way but will need some finishing touches like ducting etc, the oil temps are good on the track the way it is so i am pretty happy overall.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
