Hey guys, one of the suppliers we use at work just informed me that he has CF bonnets available. So I went and checked it out. Turns out the bonnets aren't 100% CF but a single layer of carbon fibre on a fibreglass base and a layer of clear coat to make it look pretty. Was talking to the supplier and he mentioned that they supplied Kamikaze and a few other online shops.

Anyways, the trade price on these is $650 with GST included. Cost of shipping to NSW from VIC is around $50 as a guide with insurance.

It comes with a 1 year manufacture quality warranty. If anyone's interested in them I can put an order in for em and have em sent out directly to you.

The only model they have for Nissans is this one, but they plan on getting others done. Will see if I can get pics too.

All valid questions (completely skipped my mind to check which series it was too), will try to grab some pics of them during lunchtime tomorrow.

No vents, looks exatly like the factory one, but with a CF skin, and insurance dosen't cover CF bonnets from memory.

Is there anything in particular that you guys want photos of, as I don't want the trip to the warehouse to be a waste of time. Also if you guys want to co-ordinate amongst yourselves to get some group orders I can try to see if I can get them for a cheaper price.

AllBlitz... supplier's well... its not you guys :( If you're concerned about proft margins I think I make about $15 on em... I think that's fair for the time and effort I put into organising it.

Hehehe. I dont mind you making money out of it dude, in fact you deserve to be paid for your efforts. Reason i asked, i wouldnt mind going to check them out for myself, and perhaps advertising them on my site.

sorry, haven't had time to go to the warehouse to get pics. I can tell you that they are Series 1 only.

The only bonnet available for a Skyline is the R33 Series 1 bonnet, with no vents etc, with all the same structure and layout as a standard bonnet.

They plan on getting others done hey? Well if they get the R32 done ill be interested, esp in GTR style. Also guys, you can get the drift style bonnet vents from JMS. I saw them on the website the otherday.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
