What's the point in the bulge though?

The bulge goes back to the oldschool SS's where the engine didn't actually FIT in the engine bay

Edit: It's either purely for looks (Surely the OEM bonnet wouldn't overheat the engine, so it requires a vent for cooling) , or it is to accomodate a Walkie Top mount supercharger kit or some crap like that...

Edit 2:

WALKINSHAW PERFORMANCE POWER HOOD SCOOP SWB

The Performance "Power Hood" Scoop has been designed in the heritage of the original Walkinshaw Commodore from 1988. The Hood Scoop is the perfect sports accessory for the new VE range.Very aggressive appearance.

Looks like it is mainly visual only...

I don't mind the E2 Intake Scoop though...

My point exactly... They did it for the looks rather then the function.

Like 99% of car modifying these days

I call BS on that... I've got wheels because they're forged and wider, and gtr front bar for better FMIC Air Flow...

Stock exterior on a rocket is the name of the game these days...

Fast and the Furious was back in the era of Rice Rice Baby

So your bonnet is all wank and just for looks I guess.

At least it came factory.

i'm pretty sure the 2 large vents do a fair bit, its the 3rd one that is for looks lol

Hey guys,

What exactly are these little cameras on top of traffic lights etc for?

Sitting on top of the traffic light closest to Erwin Real Estate... And another one on the other side of the crossing in the middle of the road...

Traffic monitoring cameras.

Traffic monitoring cameras.

Ahhhhh, these ones?

http://www.vicroads....fficCameras.htm

Just seems weird they they're aimed down at the crossing instead of along the road where they can see more of what's going on, or how much it's banked up...

Most probably... Must be monitoring the centre of the intersection...

You'd figure the camera has a wide angle lens...

I thought they more for pedestrian traffic. Like if someone old is still hobbling along the crossing so it doesn't turn green for cars?

I'm not talking just about skylines, but take a drive down chapel, prinny etc the vast majority of cars are modified for visual purposes as opposed to function. Ie all the commos towing invisible caravans?

slammed wrx's, skylines etc

drove home slowly :(

(same as dry days)

.....

lol was at hoa tran in springy, the rain so strong it started flooding into the store under the doors... staff trying to push it back LOL

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
