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! :(((

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
