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

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 :)

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 like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
