How's it? I have a 180sx that I have fitted an RB20 into. It also has a Microtech LTX12 (a long sad story) fitted. My question does the standard ECU have to be retained to run the air con? I am getting the air con fitted later this week and I just would like to know is all. The guy who fitted the microtech isn't at the workshop at the moment as he is on holidays, so he isn't there to ask. Thanks people. Pete

Hi Pete,

I assume that you are referring to the idle with A/C on settings? I have Microtech LT-12 in my R34 (not sure whether that is a good thing or not) and it seems to work ok with the a/c. My idle jumps all over the place at the moment (with or without a/c) but seems to eventually settle on or about ohhhhh anywhere from 650 to 1350 rpm. I'm just waiting for a hand control unit so I can have some work done to fix the problem.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers

Ok thanks for that, I know what you mean by a funky idle! Mine is around 700-1050rpm but it is only running off base map at the moment. I am running the engine in after a standard rebuild and I also have to hook up the intercooler as well. Will certainly let you know how I go! Cheers Pete

      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... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
