well people i have some awesome news....

.........MY CAR IS GETTING FORGIES............

ok here is the story, yesterday i was at my mates workshop and he has one of those G-tech devices so we thought we would strap it on my gtr and go for a little spin. Didnt even get a half decent time had like 2.4 60" and a 1.3 reaction and posted a 13 flat...so i should have a very low 12 second car...

Any way back to the story, half way through the 2nd run we heard the worst noise you can possibly hear, Pinging. So we pulled back into the shop and popped the bonnet and what do we see. Dipstick was almost hitting my strut tower and my boost tee had come off. So she had been running max boost..... :x Any ways joely hooked up his own boost tee and the car felt pretty good no pinging or anything.. But it kept shooting the dipstick out.. So the boys at JD transmissions performed a comp test today and the first 5 cylinders were all at 140 but the sixth was at 80...

So they are know going to start pulling the motor down and start to assess the damage...The money at this staged is just on a cracked ring but if thats the case they are just going to throw a set of forged pistons in... I am a bit dissapointed, but in the long run i will have a set of forged pistons going in my car so she'll be solid as for my application now...

Moral to the story don't cheap out on one little piece of equipment because it can end up slapping you in the ass...

cheers joshy

Sad to here.

However i disagree with the moral...

Moral should be use a cable tie to hold it on next time and you wont have that problem, its not the part thats the problem, its the backyard installation no doubt.

And dont do stupid sh|t like that on the street :P

      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

      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.

      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... 😛
