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!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
