based on who ordered first. the huge problem is on R33 bonnets becos all of them get damaged! i am really pissed about it... i do have one other R33 bonnet but of different style... so i will put up for those who already ordered them in pecking order...

but also i will prefer to send to those based in sydney becos although the bonnets are okay, some of the boxes wont stand another delivery interstate.

mate... the boxes conditions are so bad... 3 pallets.. 2 pallets are okay... 1 pallet completely damaged.. and all the skyline bonnets :(

sigh*

hmmm...can you get more bonnets? How long?

i am still contemplating if i should do this anymore. honestly, the margin is low. cost of CF is increasing coincide with increasing cost of petrol it seems.

i am happy to bring it, but at the moment, if i cant get any sort of compensation for the damaged bonnet, my hard work any money that i earn is completely wiped out.

so i will see how it goes.

sorry for the lack of communication.

those who ordered with me for R32 series 1, the bonnet is okay except for 1 bonnet.

all those who ordered R33 series 1, will need to have the money refunded as all the bonnets are damaged. howver i will throw in m4 free bulbs as a token of my apology

thanks :D

Cool, i shodl be ok then...well im in melbourne at the moment, but will be in Sydney next week, be great if i can get the now bonnet on before the day at Eastern Creek on Friday:)

    • 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.
