Most people cannot repressurise the 33/34 boot dampers, I looked into that, but I'm pretty sure he's talking about adding bonnet dampers, not replacing existing boot / trunk dampers.

Don't really understand why you'd want them on a GTR (I'm pretty sure OP has a GTR), as the original aluminium bonnets are so light and not really required. On other skylines that have steel bonnets I would absolutely do this.

I have Al bonnet on R32, and still occasionally ponder whether I should put struts onto it. It is certainly much easier/better/safer working under a bonnet that is held up by struts instead of the bonnet stay. It is reasonably easy to belt the stay with your elbow hard enough to give yourself a real fright.

Yeah I guess so. The Tein struts must be very low pressure, if they were anything like most struts holding up steel bonnets / boots like the 33 ones, you'd almost fold the bonnet in half when closing it !

      For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.

      Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.
