R33's have a double latched setup from factory... you could pull the bonnet release cable at 200kph and it wouldn't fly open...
Of course you're more than welcome to make your own additional restraint with a carrabeana and a loop of wire to secure it further.

Edit: I would be running the additional if I had an aftermarket bonnet, carbon fibre, bracing removed, or something like that which could allow the bonnet to flex more than normal

Well bugger me... I come back after a day and have to cater for a few more!

Hi guys, I have been reading the supp regs and the cams manual and just want some help with one thing.

Do I need to run an extra bonnet restraint cable or is the factory latch ok??

Cheers

Luke

You should be ok, a long as it has the two methods of fastening.

They can be a bit picky on after market bonnets though.

Not required. Just eat and be merry.

Squires Loft Nunawading is supplying the food at cost and cooking/extras for free. In return SAU-Vic picks up the raw food bill on members behalf as it's a Members Only BBQ - one of the many member perks!

Great too see so many faces around.

Yes I did try and remove the speed limiter from the Evo. Only to have the battery go flat...

The speed limiter is gone now and car working fine. (Frkn Evo's)

Thanks too Squires for the food, amazing as always.

Not sure what others thoughts were, but this day ran better than previous days of late.

Bearing in mind a wrx dumped oil and some chev driver painted the armco.

There is a discussion in the champ thread about the 30th of August at Winton. Get in there and have ur say.

Not sure what others thoughts were, but this day ran better than previous days of late.

Obviously gutted for members with day ending issues

But yeah, excellent day, started to run so quickly at the end that my car couldn't take it anymore and I believe quite a few were setting PBs etc, big crowd, excellent food - missus complaining I'm getting fed to well, what diet :-)

Was a much better day, even if i didn't make full use of it. Some minor attention this week and I'll be sorted. :)

100 cars, awesome. 120+ cars, shithouse.

Day was run perfectly compared to the other 4 rounds so far this year, which the oversubscribed side was pretty much the cause.

Let's hope it continues!

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
