hey guys,

well i just purchased a carbon fibre bonnet for my r32 gtr not long ago, i purchased off sau's, it was in excellent condition but the freight company damaged it while coming my way because of idiots not wrapping it up properly, it has a little crack on the bottom corner of the bonnet and a scratch on the drivers side of the bonnet in the middle, they are not really noticeable but im just fussy and i need it done asap, please guys just help me with this,

cheers tony

any help will be appreciated

same thing happened to me dude :) .

i think it would be pretty tuff to repair. Getting the fibre strands to match up would be nearly impossible.

i was always planning on painting mine anyway so i don't have to worry to much.

with the crack, any damaged to the carbon fibre wave? if not, the panel beater should be able to fix the crack, re-rasin and do the clear coat same as the scratch, he can rub it and put the new clear coat

if the carbon wave damaged, no way he can fix it without painting new colour in that area.. if u have to paint, paint around the edge of the bonnet and blend it to the centre of the bonnet and leave the centre section for the carbon fibre look..

look for 2GU UP's car in the photo section, he paint the bonnet and leave the centre section for carbon fibre

hope this make sence to U

cheers

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
