quick question regarding R33 - AERO STYLE bonnets....

So the idea of having the vents is to let hot air out but whats the go if it rains and keeping moisture out?? Is it important to keep water out of the engine bay?

I have CAI box and this should prevent water from being sucked into my pod but will water getting into my bay affect anything else??

Thnx.

as you can see from the design, the vent is angled so that it is hard for rainwater to go in...

anyhow, even now with ur standard bonnets, rainwater will always go in... i dont think rainwaters droplets will do any harm to your car. it is different story if u pour a bucket of water over the engine when it is still hot though... just my 2cents

hi im keen on getting a AERO STYLE bonnet, just want to make sure you could get one that would fit onto a GTST R32???

They look like they're made for GTR's, so they'd still fit but, are missing the front lip bit. You'd need an OEM or after market grill to put in the gap.

    • Give the fluid a really good flush, then go do the same track again. Report back too please
    • I think most of the benefit there is really from the battery as well, having 1 kWh or so means you don't need the engine running at idle to run the AC, when the battery is depleted you can run much higher idle to charge the battery at a lower bsfc point and then shut it back down, you can regen on braking to recover some of that power too. I can't imagine the benefit from only running the compressor as much as needed is huge if you're mostly only running the AC on hot sunny days where it really needs to work hard to keep interior cabin temp under ambient.
    • Yeah, unless you're doing it by the book, your data is probably not useful. Boiling point drops rapidly with only just a little water in it.
    • How hard are you tracking it? I have 378 in front and 355 in the back with decent pads and my brakes were spongy after a decent session with lots of braking. It was a short track though but got up to around 190-200 max. be keen to hear. Mind you, I havent flushed my fluid so thats probably part of reason.
