Basically, when you hit the track, you are almost always required to have a secondary bonnet restraint apart from your ordinary latch. Bonnet pins are an option, but for a street car they are illegal (protrusions) and defectable. The restraints I was previously using were difficult to use, so I thought this was a better solution. When you open your bonnet, there are a series of holes on either side of the bonnet latch. For this restraint, you undo the end with the wing nut, open the end of the hook and thread it through two of these holes. The reassemble through the washer and fasten down the cable with the wing nut. When you close the bonnet, the restraint will drop down in front of the radiator, then you just latch the other end of the restraint to one of the tow hooks using the carabena Too easy

Hi guys, having been off work for the last 2 days from illness, and generally going mad watching day time TV, I sat down and devised what I think is a good secondary bonnet restraint for track days. Basically, one end is hooked into the bonnet in holes next to the bonnet latch. The wire is secured through two washers, one of which has a few holes drilled through. The wire is threaded through as in the pics, and a bolt holds the two washers together. The end that attaches to the bonnet is secured with a wing nut, to aid getting the thing on and off. The other end of the strap is configured in the same manner, only it is secured by a nut rather than a wing nut. This end is hooked onto one of your tow hooks via a carabena. If anyone wants them I can supply without the carabena for $15 or so Tell me what you think or show me what you've got! Cheers

[WLDCRD] - what size rims and offset are you running? have you rolled the guards / is there any scrubbing? cheers

Rezz's red R32Gts-t with black rims looks the bomb!

Pics!! please

It also looks high because of the missing front lower lip

when i was in japan a shop had cast old school GT-R badges (where the R is next to the GT, not below like 32 / 33 / 34). They looked tough, but at $150 pair, I had to pass

yes they fit

I have been told that the Fujitsubo ones are very quiet - there is one called "Legalis R" http://www.fujitsubo.co.jp/mc-prod/ that is apparently around 90dB?

I too am thinking of the Nismo G Max twin... as i don't see my clutch lasting more than Sandown... where did you get it / how much all up installed? andrew, next meet can i feel your clutch... phroawwww!! (seriously)

Hi - having this issue at the moment. Unplugged the 3 factory 3 din gauges, and the oil light in the dash stays on - upon further investigation, that light shows both warnings for oil press AND oil temp. So, it would appear that when the ECU sees 0V across the oil temp gauge, it throws on the oil light. So, my thinking is, seeing that I've replaced the 3 gauges with Defi 52mm oil temp, press and water temp gauges with warning, all I need to do is to unplug the lead going to the oil light... Looking at the (horrible) dash wiring diagram, it seems that if I pull wire 34 going into the dash, this will kill the oil light. I don't have the car at the moment (will be a few weeks at the shop) so will try it when I get the car back. Note, justinfox replaced his with the Defi din gauges, and didn't have a problem. Maybe these gauges plug into the factory loom, so no issues?? I can't remember who it was who installed them for him, but maybe a quick call to whoever did it would help too Hope that helps

Cheers b005t, will get onto Greenline

BM Tech built a 2.9 for my E30

just get a second hand motor and box from Peninsula BM and drop it in - less hassles and will end up cheaper

did you at least clean up the possum?

anyone?

I have my wing and stock BOVs... here ya go - GTR wing for sale http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=65753

looks like a VR4 cooler - too narrow and too tall, end tanks wrong shape

I have seen the Nismo R-Tune covers are done in red crackle paint. The benefits of a crackle paint are two fold: 1. generally are high temp, so no issues there 2. as they are a crackle, don't have to prepare the surface to a mirror finish to end up with a good result I'm sure most automotive paint suppliers can get crackle high temp in a variety of colours

use the search function mate, there are days worth of reading on oils
