its hard to see Dale cos its white and plain but once the bonnet is painted and glossy then it'll look really good.......

That is a sexy beast! Hmm bonnet upgrade one day maybe? Haha

Where did that bonnet come from? Modelled from a Dolphin or is it a Dolphin one?

yep its a freeway dolphin bonnet apparentely the first one thats popped up for sale in 4 years.

they dont make them anymore, so was lucky to pick it up second hand!!!

apparently when new they sold for $1600 but i'm hoping to make them for under $1200, going to speak to some mates but i'm thinking i need atleast 5-10 people who are keen to make it worth my while.

well after having a ball at Texi on Saturday my power steering is broken,

so its either I blew a pressure seal in the rack or the pump, its not leaking but it don't work.

at first I thought it was intermittent but now im pretty sure it doesn't work at all.

also a side note: maybe Alex would know, is the Series 1 and 2 power steering setups different seeing as the S2 came with a cooler? just wondering cos I would like to upgrade as I believe the S1 unit cant stand up to the abuse of full opposite lock drifting HAHA

I'm pretty sure the pump is the same, except a (piss small) cooler was added in one of the lines. It sits right at the front in front of the A/C condensor.

Your not running a P/S cooler? If not, get a small PWR cooler, and plumb it in the return line. I think several guys should be able to let you know their set ups. I think a seal in the pump unit is the first to go.

It's well known the pump will fail at the track without a cooler. Any small core will do, I am using a motorbike oil cooler but I have a spare small trans cooler here you could buy cheap if you want...

its called full lock drifting to much pressure/stress I would assume, I just wanted to know if the S2 pump or rack was different/better otherwise I will get mine rebuilt and modified so that this doesn't happen again if I decide to go drifting again.

like I said it wasn't leaking anywhere and I couldn't see it boiling in the reservoir and the cooler wasn't hot enough to burn my hand but that was after I felt it fail.

Did you use a spray can on the bonnet. Would look mad in 3m black or carbon vinyl wrap

yes I got the black off it and used a spray can so it wouldn't stand out as much to the police, but it'll be taken back off and finish being high filled and painted properly.

yeah it would look mad in black or carbon but I don't want it to stand out an pull unwanted attention :)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
