I want a vented bonnet for my R32 GT-R as it sees a bit of track time and I need to manage engine temps.

I have seen the bonnets from UAS and don't really like the style, but will use them if necessary.

Is custom carbon still around, there was a thread a year and half ago and their stuff looks really good.

Are there any other places in Australia that sell carbon bonnets that are half decent?

That thread may have included c/f bonnets from

Bodyform

JSAI

PSI

Jetspeed or

Car Mate

and there are others in HPI & Zoom mags

Be cautious about fit though. The top 3 (or maybe 4) of the list seem to have good reputations.

      Change the transmission fluid. I would try Motorcraft XT-M5-QS if you have it in your area for a reasonable price. Also, double check your clutch is fully disengaging. If you are not pushing the clutch pedal to the floor fully for every shift now is the time to start. Make sure the clutch is fully bled. The damper line requires two distinct bleed points to be purged of air or it will not disengage the clutch properly. If either hydraulic cylinders input or output are losing hydraulic pressure in their seals/leaking you can have problems like this. If you've ruled out everything else then the most likely explanation is the synchros are worn and you need to double clutch the shift or rebuild/replace the transmission. The transfer case is discontinued FYI so you may want to rebuild it while you're in there too. If the chain stretches past spec it can do a ton of damage.

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      My answer would be, that depends. If it's something that can be grumpy to start, runs a bit rich, and is likely an expensive engine, then yes, I would. But there's a few reasons why. Sumps aren't really sealed, there is airways to them, so it is technically open to moisture. Secondly, if as mentioned it has been started, and it's a fuelled up, I'd dump it, as chances are, fuel is in the oil. Next to that comes, how much use had said oil seen before it was parked up. IE, how much carbon, and potentially fuel/water did get in there while it was being used, and has now been allowed to sit, and slowly come together? For the most part, if it's just been something like a road car, stock engine, nothing wild, f**king send it if it's not near oil change spec.
