As far as i can remember, one goes from battery-chassis-drivers side engine mount, g/box-body and i think rear of the plenum drivers side to body. Don't quote me on the last though

so erkle - you know nick from clubmotivate?

small world..

Yeah.

I met Nick and his mrs through my partner's parents. Her mother is best friends with Nick's missus.

My main memory is Nick cruising along walter road back towards eden hill. Dropped it a gear and planted it.

Each time he changed gears the wheels spun.

i nearly came from the over excitement.

Clean as.. did you end up fitting that frontpipe? (if i am remembering correct person :P)

Finally almost have mine done after replacing all under plenum pipes due to leak, new gaskets etc etc... Just want to drive the damn thing now! Absolute bitch of a job too, on par with swapping turbos. In fact i'd rather of done the turbos again.

*shakes head in disapproving manner*

Kids these days!

J/K, what ever floats your boat! But if you want it to perform well at drifting you will have to either lift it (i know, i know how dare i suggest that) or more all your suspension pick up points ($$$$).

Does look good though :thumbsup:

    • 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.  
    • 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
