Need your opinion guys. Looking at installing a Walkinshaw bonnet vent on the SS-V but not entirely convinced yet.

I love the look of it but not sure how it'd look on my car. Main reason for getting the vent is I've noticed the amount of heat trapped under the bonnet is ridiculous, and apparently the ECU in the VE's retard timing like a mother when it gets overly hot.

Yay or nay? Be a fag without a vent or be a fag with a vent?

I was gonna say, do these bonnet bulges do anything or they just for looks.

Looks like they just stuck it on top of the bonnet.

Or are they whole replacement bonnets with the bulge and vents?

Hahahaha thanks for the input guys. I do like them but again, unconvinced that it'll actually look good. The vent is stuck on but does require the bonnet to be cut if it was to actually work (what I was wanting to do). Wouldn't install it if it wasn't going to function as a vent for heat extraction.

Anywhoo, thanks heaps for the thoughts guys, looks like I might skip the bonnet as it doesn't appear to be too many fans :)

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
