I think I'm on the same page as you; I like the tough 5 spokes, but I'm also quite a fan of nice wire mesh wheels.

Thanks, yeah I'd been wanting to change the bonnet pretty much since I bought the car, but with all the health problems wasn't able to do anything until recently. It's a cooler white colour so it doesn't quite match the slightly creamier paint, but I'm getting a few gouges and scratches on the front quarters and bumpers fixed up and resprayed soon anyway, including the black strips, so will just get the bonnet done at the same time, better than doing the black one. Have a contact through car magazine work to do it for a good price as he liked the photos I took of his car.

yeh both sets of wheels look good hard to choose what to run

your car looks so much cleaner all white

The old wheels make the car imo , if it were me i'd be keeping them on it :worship:

looks heaps nicer all white! , kris's mesh wheels would set it off :P

Thanks. :) I was used to it being black after so long, but after making the white bonnet change on Monday, it looks so much better.

Will look cleaner next week, taking it in for touch-up and respray next Monday. Taking photos of the crash repair shop owner's very cool RB30 powered FB Holden wagon as partial payment, so getting it all done for a very good price.

Still trying to catch up in my build thread, but the front bar fins were trimmed to fit a FMIC a few weeks ago. Cooler and piping are sprayed matt black for subtlety. Have S2 chrome grille to fit as well.

Liking the VS-XX & Stitches on the 31s, after looking around a bit they aren't cheap though! Not sure of the offset on my P1s...

Speaking of Meshies, these are my Work Rezax's.

Also a couple of pics from Mallala Matsuri.

My friend was taking photos all day but her camera was not up to the task... Ill post some more soon, most of them are blurry!

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
