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 :)


Thanks

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....

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
