Ztune was my preferred option but I got turned off by:

A. Genuine part is ridicilously overpriced

B. Hard to find (genuine)

C. If i was to get a copy I would need bonnet pins to stop the bloody thing flying off at high speeds and collecting my windscreen along the way.. This would take away from the clean look and further more add to point "D"

D. Adds at least 50 points to the "Pull me over and defect me" factor :glare: . In its own is a huge defect due to being a CF bonnet

In saying this I will probably still go down the path and get one lol :P

I have mine painted both top and bottom...makes it far less obvious for defects, and so glad they make the smooth look bonnet pins now aswell....far cleaner look

A V-Spec II Bonnet is also Carbon Fibre.

I am aware - however if i purchase a vs2 bonnet it will be genuine and being an OEM Nissan item you would sincerely put some trust in knowing it wont fly off at higher speeds unlike a Ztune carbon fiber replica bonnet made by an external manufacturer where often or not looks > functionality and reinforcement and quiet frankly I dont trust the latch with these at high speeds.

Ive decided to go ztune w/ bonnet pins though despite my initial discomfort in using pins lol come at me boys in blue

Yeah, I was more so referring to point 'D.' you made in you post before.

But yes, safety and functionality is a high priority :)

Yo Phill, was trying to figure out what rims they were at WTAC?? Shed some light?

Rims are Do-Luck Double six in 18 x 10.5 +20 all round with 235 front and 245 rear.

Looks very nice :yes:

Looks insane!

Thats not a Bayside blue is it? looks much richer or maybe its the camera or maybe its just my eyes? Whatever it is its come out great.

Being a little particular, but i reckon get the amber rear fog light cover to complete it

Still tossing up on if i should colour code my skirts and rear pods like this and the others above or leave them black, im liking both ways

Beautiful car. Just curious as to what guard work had to be done to fit 10.5 +20 all round??

Is the clearance any different between a 4 door and a 2 door?

thanks mate! the paint is House of Color Candy Cobalt Blue. the candy type of paint makes this rich effect. in real the color is much impressive, i plan to make hd video to show the color effect.

i thought of amber light, costs 50 usd brand new, but not sure if to install in, anyway this is GTT, not a GTR, i'm not into 100% copying GTR look, just made the body wider by GTR fenders...

the carbon made skirts and rear pods look nice and match the carbon bonnet, but if it's black better to paint them in car color, imo

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
