There is very little to no demand for after market alloy bonnets that's why you won't find one.

The only way you'll get one is to have it made.

I've got a pannel worker that does alot of alloy pannel work on supercars but it will cost a fortune to have a one off bonnet done

His work is very good the guards I got for a VY taxi last week are perfect but cost $1700.

He did a boot lid for an r34 on one of my customers circuit cars which ran close to $2800.

Why do you want alloy?

trying my hardest to avoid CF and fiber glass for defect reasons, Stock 32 gtr, not sure bout 33 and 34 come with stock alloy bonnet, and its so dam light and since they come factory makes sense to use the same

If you have the cash to burn, then do it. But id just get a fiberglass bonnet and paint it.

Good option, The ADR approved ones are made a little diff, So in the event of if getting crushed its not goign to splinter and profect shard everywere,

Not sure if thats really what happens, But doing so reading seemt to be the case. Dont think insuance company is going to like that one.

Hence why i think fire and theft if the go. Going to be paying premuims out my arse then time to make a claim they wont touch it. But thats another issue.

Hmmm so youll fork out heaps for a alloy bonnet but wont full comp your car?

You make no sence

Firstly not spending more then $500 on a bonnet- Otherwise it can stay stock.

Also, Assuming your paying for full comp? In the event of an accident, Think you will be covered? im sure theres a few things that you would have on your car thats gives insurance company every right to not pay you a cent

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      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
