Hey guys I got a shitty ebay front mount IM just in the process of mounting it. I was wondering where do I need to cut from looking at it it seems a hole needs to be cut below the washer bottle and a section of the reo (metal support bar) needs to be cut to fit the actual cooler is this correct?

I've fitted 2 front mounts on 34's. An ARC and a Trust. Both requird minor amounts of cutting. Best advise I can give you is remove your front bar reo (mark it's position before you do it) and then fit the front mount and work out how much you'll need to trim by trying to re-fit the reo. That manul is pretty good though, you should be right, just allow a lot of time :thumbsup: Good luck!

Look at this link.. this guy asked same question..

Lol sorry wayne he he he okay guys got it all done without too many hassles. Ill post up some pics later. one small problem though under boost and only occasionally one of the hoses will blow off. This used to happen on my old tx5 and was caused by the spring on my bov being too tight same thing or something else?

yeah did that even went to the extent of using the air gun still coming off..other than that everything is running great car seems to be boosting a bit more (according to the gauge) so im gonna turn the boost controller right down.

did have a small problem with the top pipe hitting the fan but thats fixed now.

thanks for all your help guys greatly appreciated.

im very fortunate too the cooler hasnt meant i have any fully sik flutter.. so im happy with that.

by the way I wasnt quite as silly as the other guy leaving the boost controller hose disconnected I just plummed it into one of the silcon joiners on the cooler piping till i found a better spot.. which is now on the fuel regulator line.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
