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 :)

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
