A real carbon fibre bonnet is only worthwhile on the track, as Jay spends time at the track its worthwhile, for the rest, nismo.com bonnets are ample and less illegal (if that makes sense) than full CF bonnets.

I disagree. As I said I have one of the Nismo.com bonnets and I really think they are a liability on a street car. They are just too weak in all directions, even though mine has the extra lockdowns at the front I seriously doubt it would stay with the car in any kind of a bingle it would just rip off all it's attachment points.

The carbon/foam sandwich would be very much better in these respects and for the couple of hundred over the cheapie ....a very much better buy.

Still...you gotta admit...ours look good though :P

I think GT wings are also illegal.

It only takes one bad incident to bring it to the attention of the police.

A while back a GT wing came off a car in an accident and severely injured a bystander.

The police cracked down.

Then they went back to blow off valves and pods.

I think it'd take something like a carbon bonnet to shatter and hurt (stab?) someone and then the police will go on a rampage.

But until then they'll ignore you.

God knows I just can't get pulled over in my little defectmobile lately...

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
