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...

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
