Staying blue , the door jams are blue and i cbf painting all of it :) . I swapped another 25 turbo on it today , it has the same bloody noise , so im just going to register it and change the whole induction setup , im putting all the goodies from the cefiro on it so it should see Atleast 250rwk , might even go for a ethanol setup since it will be used on the track mainly . I also put new coilovers in and bought some 33 gtr rims which i plan on using instead of the buddy clubs :) . Now i just need to pick up a bonnet and she will be ready for rego!

No luck fixing the turbo , started it with just the housing on and it was noisy , took the housing off and it was all good , put the other housing i had spare on with no piping all good , put the piping back on and the noise was back . So i won't be making the drift practice in a fortnight , rego next week then td06 etc may aswell go on and see if that fixes it! . Also tried to put some subframe bushes in but someone has over tightened the nuts that hold it up , with all the proper stuff i still managed to round the nut off so i gave up for the afternoon! . Another point of interest for me was , whilst it was on the hoist i noticed it had excessive movement in the right rear wheel , but im not looking into it until Friday 13 is over!.

Yeah i still haven't worked out the image thing , you're quite welcome to explain lol

    • 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
