it looks good mate :)

ive been thinking of getting a bonnet like that for my 34 with a new front bumper ... mine are both all stone chipped and kinda need a new front bumper anyway its sagging something special

i like the one without the line in the middle though if you get what i mean..

more of the East Bear one

Yeh does look good mate, well done with the mods :)

One thing to note with vented bonnets, there is a lot of science to it. What can happen with cheap bonnets or ones that aren't properly engineered is they create a low pressure zone across the top of the engine bay, which means the air will be sucked up over the intercooler and radiator instead of through it, causing cooling issues.

Also another thing, you won't get away with the "it's stock officer" line. The bonnet is a structural part of the car, modifying it as you have done modifies the structural integrity of the whole car. Meaning it is definitely sticker worthy.

Just a heads up.

Correct!

This is why the Nismo R-Tune bonnet has a Z-Tune tube which links the bonnet with the airbox.

I didn't know this, mmmmmmm

Would I be correct in assuming that haveing a full width radiator air guide in place would offset the negative air charge?

As in forcing the air down through the IC and rad the the bonnet will "vent" the heat as one would assume it's designed for??

In God_speed's Nur Dave, he has

* R Tune bonnet (genuine) but with Z-tune tube out.

* ARC airbox (which won't accept the Z-tune tube)

* Full length air guide

> temperatures at speed are at least 4 degrees less than usual despite the ARC box being notorious for trapping heat

Wow... If that's a stock bonnet underneath and you just fibreglassed it over the top, that looks pretty impressive.

Yes my friend it is the stock one . LONG time to do it right tho

Looks cool, a little too "Big" for me, but still cool. Also, This ^. Definitely yellow worthy.

Does the opening make rain drain into the engine bay?

Nice work!

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
