john: you install the U-shackle either through your factory latch hook , or by drilling a 6mm hole next to the factory latch hook (recommended)

you also drill a 6mm hole next to the bonnet latch and the spring hook connects to this... on my skyline i was able to just attach it to a hole already near the latch.. but on my silvia I had to drill one.

anyways, it stops you bonnet flying up if the factory latch fails, and it is mandatary at certain CAMS sanctioned events to have a secondary restraint. and for those that dont want to cut up their bonnet to put pins in.. its a cheap alternative.

the bonnet can still open a small amount, which is useful if theres a fire, and to open your bonnet the whole way you just unclip the spring hook.

I bought one of these to go drifting with earlier in the month (or later last month... either or lol)

It's fantastic. On my R33 its really, really easy to install (I did it the super, lazy, don't drill any holes way) and the only issue I had with it is that because I didn't drill any holes to install it, I need to be careful because the D shackle can foul on the latching mechanism, and it's not enough of an issue to make me want to drill the holes :D

I was going to use the battery triangles, but I left them at home :cheers:

IMO, great value for money (even more than Evil_Weevil's golf buggy strap :))

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
