hmmmm just read that thread... seems it would suit something like my car if there were enough room in the engine bay and not a road car... but seeing as u said u wanted to use it for track work it would be a good idea... however it looks like it may be quite costly and there for not really applicablet to u.

My tacho is giving me the correct rmp. I didn't have to change anything.. just wired the SR ecu to the same tacho out wire that the RB ran.. IT worked sweet!

I'll be doing a little stereo system install in mine soon i think...

the tach looks like its reading ok but actually you will see its reading low.

congrats cc its time to move on to a different project for me I'm glad the car is going to someone who will appreciate the hard work gone into it. its a great car but the missus was complaining about whip lash etc.

hmm the laurel arrives in a week or so :)

I have an SR cef too

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

my god that would be a beast, engine sits so far back in the engine bay you could almost consider it a mid engined car!

im guessin' its not too shabby in the handling dept?

Thanks Steve I do appreciate it.

On Sunday when we rolled into Sydney I made my mate take it to the car wash.. Washed the bugger down (tried to miss the brakes with the water haha).

Monday spent ALL day.. from about 8am-12am working on it. Ripped the door trims off and prepsol'ed off all the damn glue on the doors. Started to stick my own sound deadener on. I think it was serenity max and a tiny bit of stinger roadkill.

Woke up Tue 6:30 went to work.

Got home as soon as possible 6pm-12am working on it for the stereo - woke up Wed 6:30am now im at work again.. I can..t....kee..p...do..inn.g....th..iiii...s..

mind you I've found 'Recharge by Sprite' a great drink - 66mg of caffeine + guarana :)

I will post pics up and try to write a little how-to to do the install - at the moment I'm not on the pc AT ALL cos working on the car. Will upload pics tonite.

Ahh bugger.. I haven't really looked that hard at it.. How low was it reading?

When the correct tacho shows 2k the dash tacho shows 1k.

When the correct tacho shows 3k the dash tacho shows 1.8k

When the correct tacho shows 4k the dash tacho shows 2.5k (bit more)

Those are approx. and from memory - it's basically a thousand lower at 2000rpm then as the revs increase it becomes more off and off. I think redline according to the dash tacho is about 4-5k ... again im guessing but yea somethin like that.

    • 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
