its all sitting in the corner of my shed.

no lines cut, the whole thing, come and take it away if you want it.

only problem is if it dont fit then you have a big pile of sht in your shed to get rid of.

are ya feelin lucky?

Went for a nice drive out of town to test out the new radiator.

Success! Overheating issue solved ==)

Now just to find the rattle/knocking at 120kmph... :wacko:

Private Roads... Gotta love 'em!!! :ninja:

So what Radiator did you end up getting? What coolant you using? Did the fan shroud fit? Thermo sensor? Still using the Clutch Fan?

Check for Stray current that may cause your radiator to eat itself in less than a month? So many questions... :laugh:

I got a 42mm chinese ebay one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190700402072?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

fit straight in perfect. stock fan, shroud and sensor no problems. didn't check for current (forgot)

Using Tectaloy 50/50 premix with glycol (or whatever it is. i'm tired and cant be bothered to think, lol)

Gave the pod filter a good clean. DAMN that thing was filthy!!!! and made a new bracket. to hold it in place nicely..

Now just waiting for boost gauge to start next step =)

I think the only issue that would arise would be capturing other people's info like car, rego. Privacy Act is a touch and go thing in AUS. Hence why when cops pull you over with recording devices they say that they are recording you as a pre warning.

Are they allowed for insurance reasons, if given the police officer in question asks about it? Not real sure how to avoid other people's privacy but given it's a public place, recording and taking photos is allowed generally.

Record everything and let the courts worry about it

This.

Also yeah Jeremy I'd think being in public, you're right that there's very little 'privacy' against photos etc...

A myth/rumour I'd like to know the truth behind though, is the one I always hear about it being illegal to record conversations with police officers (sound or video) when you're pulled over for example - even if you advise them you're recording. Anyone know the go with this?

From my understanding and not sure against Feds but, you have to advise whether or not you are recording video/sound (or not). The police officer will then request for you to either turn it off (Which you have to) or he will acknowldge and proceed with defecting you :P

Anyone have any cop m8's? My m8 has a cop friend. Might get him to ask him. Also, becareful, you can be arrested for not having more then $5 on you at all times (True law - but not policed :P) Infact, a guy in Melbourne got recently questioned for not having any money on him - mind you he lost his wallet.

Funny laws.

    • 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... 😛
