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...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
