Am i doing something wrong cause went to fit my set to 32 and the struts seems to be about 3 inches or so too short. bonnet only opens to mid chest height

Surprising how much more open the engine bay is with these.

I can't see (other than failure) how the Bonnet could possibly get blown shut when at full extension. These suckers are Strong.

Stock Bonnet strut has been removed. :thumbsup:

I sent Address PM the other day, Didn't get a reply. Just wanted to make sure it was all good

I'm out at work at the moment so if its turned up I wont know about it till next wednesday :)

All good, your set has been sent.

If the gas charge is strong this will possibly bow non oem/ metal hood would it not?

Depends on the quality of the aftermarket bonnet but I would say a damper with a reduced pressure would be best.

The set I fitted to the Z tune was 220N and it was still a little strong, however the carbon bonnet on the Z tune is very high quality.

All sets have been sent except for one or two, those will be sent Tuesday.

If you opted to pickup please send me a PM to organise a time. Some I have not heard from in a while even after multiple PMs so if you read this please get back to me via PM.

If anyone missed out on the GB and is after a set for an ECR33 or ER34 I have a couple of black sets for purchase, $99 delivered. Contact via PM.

Thanks guys :)

Dampers arrived all good.

Was a bit worried when i saw 'not to be used with carbon bonnets etc...' As i have a fibreglass bonnet, but once install i think they will be fine, doesnt take alot of pressure to close and holds it up nice and high. Ill probably put pressure toward the back of bonnet to start the closing process but im happy with them, no more ugly bonnet stand, so glad to finally rip that out!!!

Thanks for organising the group buy nytsky....

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
