my supra is going bye bye in the next week which will open me up to some cash, finally. yay. time to mod the 32 some more.

first up will be a set of gtr cams and adj cam gears as well as some new rotors and pads, and i'll be looking at buying a hood and spoiler to finish off the looks.

more than likely i will get a vented cf over fibreglass bonnet from uas or carmate. and i will probably paint the hood to red to match.

wondering what peoples opinions were about cf on red. does anyone have any examples as i can't seem to find any when searching around. i know cf on white looks the goods and blends well with black, but im unsure about red.

ON my wine red r33 i would love to put a Carbon Fibre bonnet on but i just don't htink it looks as nice... as mentioned cf looks good with white to stand out and goes well with black (near same colour) but from the examples i have seen it just doesn't do it for me.

What does tickle my fancy is though the bonnets i have seen on r34 gtrs eg bonnet with just one big inverted scoop down the middle.... anyone have any pics of these? and know where to source them.. just a bonnet with the 1 big scoop...

coco 69 i think any model wine red skyline will look mad with this bonnet on..... now if someone can find some pics on a 32 or 33...

silver gts-t, yeah if i paint over it, might as well just go full fibreglass instead of the mixed as it will be cheaper...

25gtt, the one i had in mind has the large middle scoop as well as a few other side ones, looks a little crowded but should look good...

managed to find this pic, looks quite sexy here

i was thinking about rezz's car which has many black components, how come his looks so great. but i figured it was because he has quite a lot of black matching parts such as wheels, aero mirrors, lip and boot spoiler. hmmm....

edit: just found this picture on my comp, wonder if it belongs to a member here. anyway, i think it looks quite tough... r33 colour is similar slightly less metallic i find but a similar tone.

edit: oops here...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
