Has anyone replaced their under bonnet mat??? if so what did you use/where did you source one???

I' have been looking but generally running around in circles and getting nowhere.

And for those that must lose weight by all means possible - apologies but I don't....so I'd really like to source a new or near new under bonnet mat.

Thanks in advance!!!

They do pop out but it is best to use a trim removal tool.

Go down to supercheap and spend $10 bucks and get a pack of 4 or so.

They come in handy removing trim clips.

Age of clips and angle when you lever them out and they break

Anyone able to share the part number for this item please?

If they are vehicle/model specific, I am after one for a BNR34 V-spec II

I always assumed it was specific to the carbon bonnet, to protect it from heat... seems not?

No, I didn't go ahead with it..........price was $126USD but freight/postage was $800USD. I asked them to double check the postage but never ever got any reply or help.

They are a peculiar company to deal with in some respects...I had trouble communicating.

I run my "line without the bonnet mat, it had a tear in it and had some oil soak from the previous owner. Looks neater and I don't have any issues with paint fade. If you don't mind doing a bit of cutting and measuring, then maybe you can try out Dynamat or this :

Thanks nanogrip, I was looking at that sort of product but baulked at it becuase it would be a real bitch to get off if you ever had to replace it or repair a dent etc. [[which I just had to recently do when two acorn nut looking things fell out of a tree and put a couple of small dents in my bonnet - paintless dent removal and $50 later fixed it though, BUT they had to remove my mat to access them from underneath.

Maybe I should think about organising a group buy???

Hi all, I've started a newbie group buy. Its more an expression of interest at the moment but will happen if we get the numbers!!!

So if you want one then please put your name on the list. I'll leave it open for say 4 weeks tthen if we get enough numbers I'll go to the next step.

Just to let people know we are going ahead with this, looking for a few more numbers to get a better price $251 vs $239. If we get another 2-3 people we are sure to do it.

I'm reviving my old thread to let people who haven't yet seen our group buy know - just in case. Sorry I asked about R32 ones and they are now out of production, so only R33 and R34.

That's not to say that they won't ever make the R32 ones again, just not for now.

And yeah, it took longer than 4 weeks.............

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
