Little Vent On R34gtr!

[West]

Hi all, i've recently notice on late model R34GTR, they all have this little vent seem to sit on top of the turbos. Nissan has never had vents on their cars before havn't they?

Anyone know what's the purpose of this? It doesn't look like an air escape vent neither intake vent!!!

Also anyone has a close up pic, under the bonnet pic?

From my limited knowledge - that bonnet is avaible on the V Spec II models newer.

The vent is on the turbo side so probably allows air to be vented into there at speed.

yes nissan has used vented bonnets before, most if not all the early Z cars (S30 and S130) have vented bonnets.

Alright, wrong one. Even Nissan reckon its an after market part, nissan Brighton by the way.

I can assure its not an aftermarket item its a stock Nissan item that all series 2 V-specs have . Try another dealer , one that deals with imports .

Alright, i've been on the phone with some of Nissan dealers for the last 2 hours :lol: , friday thing, dont' feel like working lol. Anyway, no one was able to find the article for the vent EVEN THOUGH it shown on their pdf sheet that there is a square HOLE on the bonnet!!!!

To be able to dig in further, i'll need a chassic number of an R34GTR. Well its' not that important, i'm just curious thats all. Garry Roger Nissan has been very helpfull, Also found part number for R32GTR Thermal switch (2159573L05) and cost $115+gst still they don't know what temp range it will activate the fan.

Damn, waste all my researching time Troy . You have always been the man.

Hold on, what about the hole on Nissan pdf i posted up ealier?

[ylwgtr2]

cant see it for some reason....but at a guess it might have a rubber piss flap or mesh to stop the weather getting in

So the motorbike has the same thing is it Troy? Who in Melb has them? I'll grab it and then *you* know the drill!!

[ylwgtr2]

managed to get it working and yep its a trap for the shit that falls through the hole....Factory bonnets are painted and the quality is quite poo...you can still see the woven mesh throught the paint...they tape up the vent hole before painting them thats why it looks like a separate part.....Do you want one of these vents?I could hack one out of an old panel if you like

It is only on the c/f factory fitted bonnets ( all V-SpecII's have them ) but i'm fairly sure it comes off . Its not even painted the same colour as the bonnet .
