If anyone wants some nice trick alloy bonnet pins that sit flush or 1mm above the bonnet line then let me know. Saw some neat ones at the Motorsport show the other day, skyline_geoff bought some at the Trade Store, im getting mine next week for my new bonnet

I don't need any at this time, but I might in the near future :)

Can you get a business card or details of the distributor when you go get yours please?

Pics would be good too :)

Yhe i have the business card at home. They are actually in NSW, if Geoff sees this he may post some pics. The bottom half that gopes into you radiator support mount is the same as usual, but rather then a pin thru the boonet, you have an aluminium housing the size of a gum leaf that has a push type latch/door.

When you push the latch, it releases the pin and allows you to open the bonnet. To close you clip it back down and its all spring loaded. So sits all neat and flush on the bonnet. Could even be colour coded i guess. They are attached to the bonnet by approx 6 allean head cap screws.

They are advertised in Autosport Engineering and are trick units. Ill check, but im 99% sure they are FIA etc approved so a re well engineered and perfectly safe. When i get back to Melb from Adelaide ill post the details up in the Motorsport section of the forum

what does compression have to do with pinging?

The higher the compression you run, the lower the detonation threshold. i.e. The less boost you can run before you'll start running into detonation problems.

I have never heard ANY tuner who knows his conrod from his clutch say that they can't run more than 13.5psi boost with a stock engine because the compression is too high.

I ran 1.2 bar (17.5psi) on my old GTS-t (I didn't want to run more because it was my daily driver and I didn't want to push the engine too much) and it made 280rwkw. The new owner ran it upto 1.5 bar (21.5 psi) also on the stock engine, and stock compression.

13.5psi = too much? :confused: Sounds like tuner limitation, not compression limitation to me :Oops:

when it hit around 15psi i can hear it ping, thats got really nothing to do with the tuner, i wanted it to be very safe cause i used to use it as a day to day car but now its purely for racing and the od cruize. i got more mods to do soon so we will see.

Oops, Speed.

I guess neither of them would like me confusing the two. Its too late and i had way to much C++...

They don't mind. Both Speed and Wheels are owned by the same publisher. If you confused any of those with Hot4's, or FastFours there would be hell to pay :D lol

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
