^^ Yep its certainly not cheap mate, there are some guys out there that make mint carbon replica's anyways and look the goods. Only difference is you dont get the w*nk factor when you tell people that you have an "original z-tune bonnet" :rolleyes: .

If it looks the part and your happy with it why not

yea i doubt i would have got a vsII bonnet unless the one i got poped up for the price it did.

not a huge fan of the z/s-tune style bonnets, i just like the clean look of the vsii bonnet, and wasnt real keen on any copys due to any fitment problems... im very picky with stuff like that on my car, and i have heard of some bad copys.. although im sure there are plenty of good ones out there... but its all personal choice really..

weight saving changing to carbon is barely worth mentioning, its only the cooling duct and styling that you do it for.. so 3.5-4k is too much really i think.

Anthony's pretty much right, I think Terry will be here soon to corroborate the cost and process of fitting the NACA duct, but it was a damn fine job that was done on the car. Being a black car, you couldn't really tell any difference from the OEM item. On the OEM you can see the outline of the carbon duct, which stands out on any other colour (like Anthony's).

I did have a close up of the duct around somewhere but here's what our 'replica' bonnet looked like:

Nice!

Your R34 GTR looks mint!

Just by looking at the other R34 GTR = Z-Tune front bar / Bonnet / Nismo Side skirts and rear pods.

Volk GT-C and what look to be a larger caliper upgrade... Any other mods?

Ta mate. Yep the non-V Black now lives in Toowoomba with a new owner.

The Nur above actually has a Nismo front bar, with the R tune (Z tune) bonnet and the rest as you say. GT-Cs have just been sold; I'm currently using the LMGT4s in 19 x 10.5 +15 size. She has a few mods, standard N1 engine and turbos, Motec M800, Nismo plumbing and titanium twin exhaust, ARC filter, trust intercooler, Nismo plenum, Jun cams and cam gears, HKS EVC 6 running about 20psi, and the 380mm brake kit. A few other nice extras like a torqline CTG carbon prop shaft, Ikeya lower links, Ohlins DFV coilovers plus Yamaha chassis dampers.

Agree with this Terry, although this spot is better in the morning opposed to the afternoon as the sun is over the ocean and you dont get the shadows from nearby buildings... but they turned out ok after all.. pretty happy with them

I have a pic of your car -

My car hasnt had any decent pics since its change, this is an old pic with the rims photoshopped to their current colour -

Ah yes!

How could I have not seen the air duct next to the indicator.

That's how I tell it's a Nismo and of course a closer look at the pic LOL!

As there is not much that needs to be done to unleash the power of a R34 GTR Nur, that is a nice list of mods there, welldone!

How do you find the CTG carbon prop shaft? Improved the acceleration?

Yes, the 3" NACA duct cost $45 + gst + post from QLD = $62. Bought from Ken Lowe Racing.

Peter from Bodyformaero was impressed at how my painter was able to attach the plastic duct to the aluminium bonnet and not form expansion/contraction cracks on or around the painted duct. The painter used a resin between the two materials prior to undercoat.

I think you need to sort out your own budget as to how much you'd want to pay a painter (& cut that hole). When it's placed in the correct spot, there's no intrusion into the bonnet reinforcement underneath.

Hope this helps...

I feel a little out of place in here compared to some of these cars, but seeing as the Photography section is one of the only sections I am yet to post in, I want in! Unfortunately most of my good photo's are a bit out of date :(

Back when it was NA:

I don't like the plenum...

'cause it magnifies my facial wrinkles as I check the fluids ;)

:laugh:

Thanks lads, still feeling inadequate in the same thread as your GTR's :thumbsup:

Oh and Martin, thought about Gunmetal on the cam covers to suit the carbon coil cover?? Your engine bay is going to be mint when its done :D

Sorry for the sh*t images, good old iphone!!

^ Looks tops mate. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks mate, appreciated :)

While I'm at it, I should credit the photographer for those good photos. You in here Rhys Maylam!? :P

You may have just decided me dude... I've been tossing up between so many colours, but my original idea was metallic gunmetal. So I think that comment just reassures me that it would look killer :D Still so much to do before it's done though... Still looks horrible to me :/

Awesome :D Should finish the engine bay off.... Well a high mount turbo AND powdercoating =P

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done.

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
