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....

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
