Haven't posted in ages, done a few things to my C35 since January...

The shift solenoids (the two gray and black cylinders in the bottom left of the pic) of the automatic trans went out, so had to replace them, since I was otherwise in 3rd gear whenever I was in drive:

Got rid of the 350Z wheels and picked up a set of CST Zero-1 Hyper V2's in 18x9.5 +30 with some 235 KR20's:

After that installed a HKS mushroom filter and blocked the bov for some nice flutter:

Rear speakers were blown ever since I got the car so I upgraded the speakers to Carrozzeria TS-F1740 II's front and rear:

Wanted to freshen up the engine bay a little by replacing the crusty old rubber hoses with silicone ones, very satisfying and fun to do:

Intercooler time; I decided it was time for a big front mount intercooler, an HPI Spec-S aluminum one:

Note to self: cutting further up and to the right a little would've given the piping more room to move around

Very happy with how it turned out, now it looks like a proper turbo car!

New D-Max D1-spec S15 tension rods up front since the stock ones were shot:

And a few days ago I swapped out the stock "Multi AV" system out for a Carrozzeria DEH-6600 head unit as well as separate climate controls:

Hopefully next is the R34 manual transmission swap! Been collecting all the parts for awhile now, just need the transmission and I'll be ready.

      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... 😛

      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
