Hey guys,

After returning to australia after two years, and finding that my car had indeed been entirely neglected for that time, i have had the long and ardous task of changing everything.

I the list was the fuel filter, which noteably hadnt been changed since the cars creation ( at 78,000 kms ).

After changing it, i have noticed that if i ride it hard, for example smashing up the m7 onramp at elizabeth drive, i notice that after i back off at 120, the engine light will come on for 1 second.

I dont notice a drop in performance or anything out of the normal.

After resetting the ecu today, ( disconnected battery terminals etc ), and taking it for a quick test run, ive noticed it still happens, however not consistantly.

My first assumption is that now i need to move onto a new fuel pump, now that the old one isnt pushing fuel through the caron concrete that was in the last one.

Am i correct?

Car history:

Imported at 50,000 kms by E&M motors on parramatta road. Test drive ( before complience ) indicated it was a weapon. Dealer stripped all the mods at complience.

Have changed oil filter and the fuel filter, trying to change the o2 sensor but its on there really good and i dont want to snap it.

All help gratefully recieved.

Need to hook up consult to it, or diagnostic to pull the fault code if it's a stock ecu..

Toshi would have access to that, anyone else?

Campbelltown/wollongong areas the closest for me. No one in my area knows what they are doing unless itsa ford/holden/suburu

If the car has been sitting for 2 years with fuel in it, do not "top it up". Drain and purge the system and refill with fresh petrol.

Already been driving it for two months now. Just trying to do what i can to fix it on the fly.

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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... 😛
