Ferni, fingers crossed mine should be painted and on the car in the next fortnight. Talking to Troy he says you use a flexible primer...blah, blah,blah something about plastic fairings on bikes...blah,blah,blah, so basically can be done.

Cant wait for my car to once again look clean, im getting sick of pretending i like the abused, tuff track car look, its really pi55ing me off:(

Ahh cool, so Troy is painting it for you?

haha so deep down your not as hard core as you seem, you're really a pretty boy :(

Ahh thanks I wondered, damn, was hoping I could get an aluminium gt-r one to fit mine :cheers:

Hey for those interested here's a CF bonnet for sale on ebay for SII's. It's OEM style though, I prefer Aero style personally

The lad selling the bonnet reckons that it is a genuine CF bonnett.

For that price it has to be fibre glass with carbon layer.

Dont reckon he knows what hes talkin about.

hi guys, i will probably start a new pre-order thread again, i am sorry if i am unable to answer the questions in regards to the bonnet. too many things going at the moment.

let me sort out the bonnet first and hopefully it will be out by this friday. it has been in the queue to clear. long queue becos of anzac day, just one day, it caused so much delay.

but yes it will be out soon. anyway for those who waited patiently for the order i have decided to throw in one set of m4 bulbs for FREE! i will send in by post or give to u personally when u collect the bonnet.

once again sorry for the delay. there are certain things which is beyond my control. thanks :rofl:

DUDE!!!! Thats awesome, although its something little, mate, this is going to increase customer loyalty!!! Being a student and studying marketing, this is a really good move. I havent even picked up my bonnet yet, but you sound like a top bloke!!!

Well looks like this weekend Ill have the new bonnet on :devil: Providing its cleared on friday. Cya soon!

The Bonnet Are Here! Bad News Is 3 Of The R33 And 1 Of The R32 Bonnet Is Damaged On Transit. I Spend The Whole Day Unpacking The Every Single Box! :P

I Really Hate This But Seriously I Need To Work Out Somthing. Those Who Cant Have The Bonnet Will Have The Money Refunded And You Still Get Free Globe! :)

For Me, I Got To Settle A Few Thousand Dollar Worth Of Damage! And Loss Of Business... Sorry Again But I Have Not Eaten Anything Since Morning Becos Of The Stupid Damaged Bonnet! :(((

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
