In this months - issue 12- ASM they have the rundown of MAS.

There are some pics of our girls... and yep - MzDefected is there :D Only Leon's car (WHYW-8) is pictured. We are mentioned as prize winners and there is a 1-para about the dyno comp 'controversy' with a small pic of the BLKJET supra.

So - worth a lookie at the newsagent, but that's about it :)

Yeah - so did I :)

Those chumps. Maybe if I had a dinosaur playing on a chrome PSX airbrushed on the side with neons - I might have stood a chance. That and a Ralliart sticker on the back :D

I was bored yesterday and bought the mag. If it's not against copywrite laws, I'll scan the MAS article with photos of our lovely ladies and post it.

Controversy, pffft. Who needs it. Let the times tell which car is better I say. Dyno figures are BS anyway.

They told me that I'd get a photo in there too :D Ah well, as James said, unless you have a $10k paint job and more chrome than a Terminator, you won't make it, even if you did win 3 trophies...

So they're not all bad :)

Yeah that was me. :D

Wow I'm famous :D

I wrote that letter because in the magazine that they gave us with our entry money, there was someone asking for information on Skyline clubs, and the editor (or whoever answers the mail) had refered the person to MCCR.

I mean... PUHLEASE!!!!!!!!!! ;)

So I emailed them and set them straight. :D

I never heard back from them so I kinda forgot about it....

But maybe that will get us a few new members too. :)

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      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

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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... 😛
