Hello,

Currently searching for a VspecII bonnet, if you have one please let me know.

Not fussed on colour as i know these are hard to come by, and probably near impossible to find in yellow so will be requiring a respray anyways.

May consider a non vspecII bonnent for the right price and modify it to look like one.

Let me know, PM or call/txt 0435 721 814

Cheers,

Anthony

Yea just make a hole to suit, would leave the process up to the panel beater guys to do what they think is best.

All i know is that it has been done before and works...

interesting to know how you could modify a standard bonnet to put the triangle? can you grind a hole? or oxy or something?

Peter at Bodyform was fascinated at the job done on this bonnet.

He looked at it for at least a minute and asked, "How on earth did he (the panelbeater) fit plastic against metal and for no expansion cracks to form?"

Underneath, there was a thin film of temperature-stable adhesive placed between the flanges of the NACA Duct and the aluminium.

It also turned out that the triangular hole did not interfere with the reinforcement ribbing underneath either.

Great job as always by Nepean Valley Smash Repairs.

Thanks for the extra detail Terry, I'm also considering Japanese copies of vsii bonnets, but not sure if they are any good or not...

I've got the added cost of painting whatever bonnet I get as there is a very slim chance of finding one in yellow.

Hi Mate

I have a genuine V-Spec II hood in stock at the moment in white, it has small damage on the passenger side edge (easy repair seeing as you're respraying to suit your car) and the price won't be too hideous. Drop me a msg if keen and I'll shoot you through some pics of the damage :)

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
