i'd b interesetd in a vented bonnet!!! definitely

was thinking bout this the other day. does anyone manufacture carbon fibre ones aswell?

carbon fibre is highly illegal (well in qld anyway) and trust me, the fibreglass bonnet is light enough.

Heres a pic of mine

Whats the go with getting it moulded?

Yah fair enough.

I just keep thinking what happens if some pisshead jumps in front of your car.. even if it wasn't your fault .. it's going to be your fault with a fibreglass bonnet they got stitched up *shrug* That's why my car = fully engineered :P

Looks mad tho, post up pics when it's painted please. If I have enough cash I might pickup some vents, otherwise I may investigate this chocking up of the bonnet because my bonnet doesn't seem to have any hooks that would lock it in an impact, so I'm assuming chocking it up a little won't hurt *shrug* we'll see :)

Well the cop who defected my car is one hell of a guru, he knows his shit and this is what he told me:

if it was carbon fibre, my car was on a tow truck because carbon fibre bonnets, in front on acceidents, dont disintegrate or bend like metal or fibreglass, they actually break the hinges and go through the a pillar/windscreen due to their strength. Fibreglass on the other hand disintegrates into strands therefore making the impact less than mteal as it cushions the persons fall.

So yeah, he just wants me to get a latch installed and piss off my bonnet pins :rofl:

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
