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
