Racepace offered us one already done for considerably less than that, id suggest picking up the phone and talking with them......(unsure if it was a one off built one ready to go that they wanted out the door though)

Is that rebuilt with new nearly everything or just the mod done ?

All i remember my son telling me was its was modded and ready to bolt onto a freshly rebuilt dog box we purchased from them when he was there picking it up.

Sort of made me stop for a second and weigh up the work for me to mod it Vs the price it was offered to him for.

Unsure if it was all newly rebuilt and unused, for the price it was offered for i highly doubt it. (it was that cheap)

Since the work I have been driving it for around 700Klms, still on tune in, limiter @ 5000rpm

Had the, clutch, Quaife front diff and the modified transfer case done at the same time.

When I pushed it, it feels balanced and just glides around the sharpest bend. Not sure what is doing what, trannie or Quaife as both were installed at the same time. Already had a Nismo 2-way LSD in the back (No Noise or clunking , ever ?). The new coppermix C Spec clutch is a dream :wub: felt funny as it engages very high compared to the OS Quad I had in it. Being a short arse I can move the seat back a couple of notches and get a better driving position.

I will push it a bit more once the final tune is done and the full power is on the road. I'm sure Paul could test it out and give a better run down on the Pros and Cons of the mix when he has the chance,

Even for a non racer boy, it feels good and you can notice it on a DD.

This is what they did.. Cost $1350,

    • 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... 😛
