Random query,

Any of the local boys know how hard it is to convert the Series 1 to Series 3 xenon headlights? Have asked Ben but no reply yet. Wouldnt mind looking into it down the track.....

Hows the new job goin' Phil?

Haha yeah. Really want this bike going and i decided against doing a dodgy on the bonnet. So once the bikes running and i have another mode of transport im going to put the 32 on stands and start getting serious.

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.

[Force Fed]

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

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

hey Phil. You got any decent gearbox/ diff oil in atm? and still got 8100 excess in stock?

[PM-R33]

Yep should have some 8100 in stock. Will probably have a couple of 1L bottles of Motul LSD oil.

Will be doing an order soon for some Redline shockproof oil soon.

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

[beemae30]

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

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.

Yeah lightweight.

[89CAL]

Phil, I'll let you know if I sus something out. I don't want to drill holes either

[89CAL]

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

[PM-R33]

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.

or just wont buy a 33
