What's the point in the bulge though?

The bulge goes back to the oldschool SS's where the engine didn't actually FIT in the engine bay

Edit: It's either purely for looks (Surely the OEM bonnet wouldn't overheat the engine, so it requires a vent for cooling) , or it is to accomodate a Walkie Top mount supercharger kit or some crap like that...

Edit 2:

WALKINSHAW PERFORMANCE POWER HOOD SCOOP SWB

The Performance "Power Hood" Scoop has been designed in the heritage of the original Walkinshaw Commodore from 1988. The Hood Scoop is the perfect sports accessory for the new VE range.Very aggressive appearance.

Looks like it is mainly visual only...

I don't mind the E2 Intake Scoop though...

My point exactly... They did it for the looks rather then the function.

Like 99% of car modifying these days

I call BS on that... I've got wheels because they're forged and wider, and gtr front bar for better FMIC Air Flow...

Stock exterior on a rocket is the name of the game these days...

Fast and the Furious was back in the era of Rice Rice Baby

So your bonnet is all wank and just for looks I guess.

At least it came factory.

i'm pretty sure the 2 large vents do a fair bit, its the 3rd one that is for looks lol

Hey guys,

What exactly are these little cameras on top of traffic lights etc for?

Sitting on top of the traffic light closest to Erwin Real Estate... And another one on the other side of the crossing in the middle of the road...

Traffic monitoring cameras.

Traffic monitoring cameras.

Ahhhhh, these ones?

http://www.vicroads....fficCameras.htm

Just seems weird they they're aimed down at the crossing instead of along the road where they can see more of what's going on, or how much it's banked up...

Most probably... Must be monitoring the centre of the intersection...

You'd figure the camera has a wide angle lens...

I thought they more for pedestrian traffic. Like if someone old is still hobbling along the crossing so it doesn't turn green for cars?

I'm not talking just about skylines, but take a drive down chapel, prinny etc the vast majority of cars are modified for visual purposes as opposed to function. Ie all the commos towing invisible caravans?

slammed wrx's, skylines etc

drove home slowly :(

(same as dry days)

.....

lol was at hoa tran in springy, the rain so strong it started flooding into the store under the doors... staff trying to push it back LOL

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
