Hey guys not sure if this is the right section to be asking but please delete if I'm wrong! ^_^

Whats everyone think of smoked tail light centers? Just a photoshop of the last picture but I love it and think I'll do it soon625535_561547750546261_1221693203_n.jpg

That looks quite good! Really highlights against the white. I think the question would just be how it looks under braking?

@@Dillon34, what's it like with the lights and blinkers on?

It looks good with the lights on (see picture) but the blinkers don't look as good to be honest. Paint wasn't perfect and it really shows up when the blinkers are on, also although they are still clear to see....they are more red than orange for some reason haha

Not ideal but I'm happy with it all in all

Car look great! Lights are nice as well. Awesome pic Drew. May I ask where you picked up the bonnet from?

Thanks, I've been waiting ever since I picked up the GTR around 4 years ago to get this bonnet lol Its a Border Bonnet, picked it up from a mate who's car it was on when he got it into the country and he wanted the Z-Tune style so I grabbed it off him. Priced it up to bring one in from Japan and it was around 3.5k. Its Carbon Fibre but I had mine painted by BodyForm Motorsports @ Smithfield to blend in with the rest of the car.

Ah right. Quite lucky then! I've seen quite a few companies in Aus have the Z-Tune style one available to buy (not to mention the endless supply of cheap copies) but not this one. I do really like that one though. Can you still use the standard strut brace with that bonnet or have you got an aftermarket one?

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
