Hi Guys,

well i'm thinking of getting a nice bonnet such as a carbon fibre or the 400R replica for my GTST. It is a burgundy colour but I can't find any pics as to what a carbon fibre or any other aftermarket bonnet would look like on mine.

Due to my lack of imagination can anybody out there pppwwweeaassseee help me find some pics of a aftermarket bonnet on a burgundy R33 and paste em?

Does any body have a particular bonnet they like?

Oh and also while I am at it any nice rear wings... i do like the standard whale tail but something not too out there would be nice GTR rear wing is a bit too common for my liking..any cool pics of that aswell?

Thanks in advance for your help:uh-huh:

Yeah same here dude but I just can't picture the carbon fibre with my colour of car! I am crap at trying to picture things!:P

I have a car show that i have been invited to so i want it to look sweet but still be my every day driver...

Thanks for the pics skyzer! those bonnets would look lovely!! if you could find that pic of it on our coloured car i would be INCREDIBLY greatful! Might give the pics to a panel beater to do might save a few $$$ that way....

Any more pics guys? the more the merrier!

Thanks for your help so far!!:uh-huh:

i found the pics i was thinking of.

burgandy skyline with similar mags to you.

i'll post all the pics theres a couple with the bonnet in it.

HAHAHA FARK ME!!! What do ya recon? should i do it? that pic made me cream my pants! THANK YOU!!!!:uh-huh: :uh-huh: :uh-huh: :P

Very nice! I think that must be the one from the front of the SPEED mag last month! 308rwkw aint bad!

Yeah i do like that bonnet! might send them an e-mail aswell.

As a cheaper alternative would most spoiler stores be able to get my standard bonnet to look like that? Obviously not the carbo fibre look but basically i do like the vents! off the top of your head any idea of the cost for that?

UAS had carbon bonnets for the R33 GTs-T available a week or 2 ago. Asking around the $1000 mark so that should give u an indication of the costs involved for a CF bonnet ;) If I remember correctly, BY BY was Mr Dealer :)

Yepz, same car. i've got the mag. :)

It's basically the same bonnet as BY BY's. Alot of fibreglass

would be involved, and i personally would rather have the

option of changing the whole bonnet and only paying a bit

extra for it.

If your after a CF.. I recommend speaking to BY BY. He's the

CF bonnet king! ;)

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
