I'm looking for someone in the ACT who can do bonnet vents, I'm not talking about cutting a hole out and screwing in a plastic vent, I want someone who can cut and shape a bonnet into the style I want.

Any ideas? I'm looking to do something similar to the carbon fibre bonnet vents you see on all the R34 GTRs.

Thanks in advance

I'd give "New-Gel" in Isa Street Fyshwick a go. They can do most things... if you have the time. :D jk

My mate has been waiting 3 months for his body kit on his Liberty. Although it's partly 'cause it is a modded 200sx front bar with WRX side skirts and rear extension!

No doubt you will find you can get it done cheaper and quicker in Sydney, but I am always concerned about what I am going to get from a Sydney shop!

The place quoted in Fyshwick wanted $550 to clean up my side skirts....at first he didn't want to know me, and was quite abrupt and rude.

Anyway, I'll get a fibreglass kit and do it myself thanks!

I would suggest you just drive around and find a place that can do the job...there is heaps of great panel shops around Canberra.

......best of luck.

dude just drive down to sydney one weekend, go see unique auto sports in castle hill as they have carbon bonnets there on the spot, as well as other bonnets that will catch you're eye.

i know as i bought a carbon bonnet for the gtr cost $1095

i find most panel shops in canberra even new gel a waste of time. + you get to keep you're old bonnet as a spare.

ooohhh as well as bonnets with plenty vents in them you'll have a hard time choosing.:P:O:P

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
