Requires modifying the brackets a little bit, that's all. I actually had a brand new set that I sold a few months back. They looked very sexy :)

Pretty flat out with all the changes in the shop but yeah going good.

No changes to middle grille at all? or wiring?

if it's that simple, I will definitely look into it. As much as I like my current headlights, proper Xenon S3's would work better.

Much like a certain Carbon spoiler blade sitting on a bed in townsville :ph34r:

also, good to hear about the shop being busy. hopefully things change and the rep actually gets picked up :)

Hey Phil

was searching through some old threads and saw you involved in a bonnet strut group buy. And then I thought I'd seen a photo of your car with bonnet struts

Was I paying attention or dreaming lol?

I want to get some for mine. Have a rough idea of what I need to do, just wondering if you found a good car to steal the struts off or if you bought a kit etc.

I can use the lower supports from a VN-VS commodore as far as I know, but Im gonna need 4 of these. If they dont fit on the bonnet mounts then I can do some fab work to make them fit

but anyway, just wanted to see if you had any pointers. And if you in fact dont have any on your car, then sorry for wasting your time with this post :P

Nah I don't have any. I was looking into it however the only way that I could see to do it was to drill new holes into the gaurds to mount the struts, which is something I didn't want to do.

Alright sweet. Yeah hit me up when u get the shockproof in. Are you getting light?

Yeah lightweight.

Can't edit my post for some reason....... so I'll make a new one.

went to a mates today who bought a bonnet strut kit for his 180sx, Link:

Ebay: 240sx Strut Kit

Looks like it'll fit a Skyline pretty easy, I've ordered one so will let you know if it does, if your still interested in bonnet struts

See how you go. I measured one up on the factory hole in the guard and it just wasn't going to work in that location, would have fouled on the bonnet as it was closing.

That's why they only make the Tein/Top Secret kits to suit a GTR bonnet - different hole location. Also due to our bonnets being so heavy I also think the factory bolt hole location wouldn't give enough strength to hold our bonnet up.

But let me know what you find.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
