I put some money into some shares a month or so ago. Just before it crashed....LOL

I like going into spec shares which is a gamble anyway. Fun none the less

its doing ok again now though next crash tip in some more :thumbsup:

Time to fix hail damaged bonnet on the 33...what do wasteland?

- carbon fiber bonnet (rest of car is silver) ~$800

- fill/prime, respray and hope for a good colour match (front bar really needs a respray too) ~$300

- buy second hand bonnet with no dents and respray (as above) ~$400

- paintless dent removal (existing paint is in good condition) ~$11ty

Money not an issue, I'll go with the CF if it looks good...I do like flush colours though. Do series 2 R33 bonnets fit a 1.5?

no s2 dont fit and fk no to cf bonnet ricer boy.

10k as is sit now or I'm assuming minus all goodies?

id like more but likely as it sits

Only issue with finding a silver bonnet and putting that on is that a good deal of my car has been resprayed a couple of times so I don't think the standard silver will match well, assuming the bonnet I find has perfectly good paint on it. I'd rather spend a few hundred on trying to match it / refreshing the paint. That and I could be waiting forever if it's a series 1 bonnet that I need. But a good suggestion nonetheless.

CF doesn't look too bad on this GTR...

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
