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.............

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
