Hello,

Just moved to Australia (QLD) from Okinawa Japan and I was able to successfully import my GT-R 33 under the personal import rules. Well, I say successfully, but it was damaged at the wharf and I am searching for a new hood (bonnet in Auzzie speak). I have been going through the thrash of learning the differences with things here in Australia (fuel, oil, GTR parts, etc.) and hope that you guys can be a help to me, and I can offer whatever assistance I can.

I have owned this GTR for 5 years and the best thing about bringing it to OZ as a personal import is I didn't have to 'stock it out' before it left OKI for compliance. So it is built and tuned, although I would like to get it checked out by some reputable dudes who know the RB26.

If you guys have any bones to throw my way about shops Brizzy to Ipswich area, and where I can find a bonnet, it would be much appreciated!

Welcome!!

Few QLD members have R33 GTRs and it may be beneficial posting this in the QLD section. Also, jump on Facebook and post in the SAU QLD page. Also, the Charity Cruise is coming up. Biggest event of the year - would be great to see you there!

Thanks!!

Charity Cruise sounds awesome and I will get over to the QLD section...

Good News: I found a bonnet in Australia and I almost can't believe it!!! It was right before I imported one from Japan for twice the price.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
