hi there guys , need a liitle direction the other day my r32 gtst decided to start miss firering wouldnt accelerate so putted it home , check a few things but everything looked fine ,started it up again and it just has a constant missfire bad on acceleration so thought it must be a coil pack gone so i pulled them out and took them to a auto elect to get them tested ,was told they couldnt test them properly unless they were under load ,anyway they did there best and told me that there was nothing wrong with the coil packs so now im lost , i live the bush and cant just drive it to a mechanic , the auto elect bloke ask if my r32 had a computer plug so he could plug in his thingy and check the diagnostics ,is there such a plug in a r32? or should i check something else before paying them to come out of town? please help guys !!!!!!

have you checked your ecu for codes? start there and see if it says anything...

i've had this problem, ecu didn't throw any codes...i checked all the coils, the wires, the ignitor, the sparkplugs, all ok...so i figured it had nothing to do with ignition. in the end i just added a bottle of Redline SI-1 to the fuel and let it idle for 15 mins then shut it off. started it up the next day and it still missed a bit... went around the block and by the time it got up to temp is was completely fine! >_<

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
