explanation is pretty simple...

the bmw is stock to reo bar and plastic front bar.. ie strong!

that 33... weak! fibreglass + no reo + front end in the ass = screwed

How muh do you think that bonnet would have cost?

Prices for them vary. However from what I've heard the guy that put the carbon fibre bonnet on the car wasn't really worried about money. So it would have been to the upper end of the scale.

    • Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.
    • Cheers, yeah it was recently imported, is the actual Nissan not an Infiniti so will have to do some chasing around for parts.    Any ideas if the side skirts from a Q50 would fit on the 400r?
    • I remember reading that there’s a power steering pump from a modern car—possibly a Mazda—that bolts directly onto an RB engine and lines up perfectly, making it a great option for HICAS removal. Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten which model it came from. Does anyone know what vehicle this pump is from? Any help would be appreciated.
    • Yeah, it is a sand it all job tried to fit the centres and they don't fit anymore. Powder coat doesn't seem to be to thick so that's a plus.
    • Looks close enough to fool a few people into thinking it was a genuine 400R I'm sure. Well done 👍
