good evening from far north queensland.

name is glen and i've just picked up a write off 33 gts-t for the drivetrain. not watched bathurst since gentleman jim did the honourable thing and told the taxi brigade they were a pack of arseholes. i like variety. v8 supercars series is never gonna offer it. the channel nine camaro using the corollas and mazda's as brakes, and mini's eating mk II jags days are well and truly over and the lack of ANY production relevance nixes the desire to pay attention at all.

have a soft spot for vl's with stock bodies and hairdryers. dream of a clean tidy standard R32 zilla, and seeing how most are driven and repaired i'll not be looking for one and shall stick to my "alternate" GT-R (factory 16's, turbo, intercooler, two seats, all wheel drive, low range) and potter around with other projects in the meantime. the rb25 is to see duty later down the track and i'll need to pick a few brains when the time comes closer.

theres an rb30 and jatco in my shed for a stalled project that i began a few years back and i'm gathering the odd L and A series 4 here and there for others down the track.

i dunno if there are die hard datto types on here as well but i'll likely have the odd query on 70's/80's buzzbox models if someone were to lend a sympathetic knowledgeable ear in the general automotive discussion forum too.

love my bikes as well with a particular penchant for old/older, oddball or mundane, cheap to buy and fix up "bargains", and in particular transfer ported deathtraps. hell, everyone needs a sick twisted vice of some sort and the 120Y is now getting to be respected through it's high natural attrition rates so rebelling is getting harder and harder to achieve.

thank you kindly for your time and will hopefully catch you round the traps.

cheers, glen.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • 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... 😛
