Few months later this happened, poor thing :/

New turbo on and shit, still to be tuned properly.

Larger wastegate and headstuds, fix the flex fuel stuff, battery relocation and a continue to tidy the engine bay more. I bought another gtr shell as a project track car so i suspect this motor will go into that car.

love the wheels, my head is slowly moving away from the meister/professor style of stepped lips and bolted centers (which i still hrrrng for) and really appreciating smooth spoked/ concave wheels.
and those are a nice classic.

So due for a little bit of an update. Drove this around for a day to tune it towards the end of march and found:

Alternator no longer works properly when it gets warm, resulting in low fuel pressure etc etc

Bovs are open at idle and dont seem to like holding pressure

Aparently i cant run any less that 23ish psi without pulling the gate out to replace spring (ran 14psi before no worries?)

Solved all these problems by removing the interior........ Well in my mind at least.

Plan is to run NSW time attack for a laugh, probably need to get some tyres sorted haha. So weekend just gone removed seats and vacuumed carpet, removed amplifier and unnessisary cabling in boot. Started to remove interior trims to fit harness bar and continue wire tidy. Still have to fix above mentioned problems before it gets tuned again but at least i have a course of action.

    • 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
