whats the point in having it if your not going to use it if ur ugnna drive around with it u might as well say you have it?

Are you talking about insurance?

Coz it would be a damn shame to be forking out $3000 a year for insurance for a few years just to finally make a claim and have it rejected because you wanted a carbon bonnet.

Its also illegal to have one as its not designed for the car. So technically not even insured

I dont think you can even engineer one due to material used

This is the reason ;)

We all know Police read the forums. Say Joe Bloggs admits he has one in a far fetched or maybe not so world, it gives them something instantly to go after Joe for to defect. People dont want to admit to anything they dont need to. I wouldnt, would you? <_<

Joe with his CF bonnet has an accident that has nothing to do with his bonnet. Most insurance companies seem to be of the opinion, guilty until proven innocent. They dont want to pay out unless they have to. If as a company could get out of a $5K claim on a technicality, would you?

Anyone can and does read the forums. People are aware of that. :D

The only GTR I know of that can have one legally is the N1 which I am sure someone can either confirm or deny as it came from the factory.

ffs. As if saying on here that you have CF bonnet will get you a visit from the cops. As someone said, you drive around with the bloody thing on so what's the diff?

How many of us post that we have bigger injectors, turbo etc and get visits from the cops or the epa?

What a wank.

A very constructive reply there from an Exec. ;)

All I know is I wouldnt be putting a post up about doing any illegal activity on somewhere I know is frequented by Police. Makes sense doesnt it? :)

Do you have any other suggestions as to why people dont post up that they have a CF bonnet. :D

We dont post in the Vic section... anyhow.

go to Nissan Silva, ask what happened to the Vic boys about thier cars and the defects from what came about on the forums.

it might be very surprising to you, but common for us here

    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
