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

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
