Vent hole carbon bonnet..

[sidewaymambo]

just wondering anyone think of this before that where is the best place to place the vent hole?

I know some where sell the carbon bonnet for S2 R33 GTST, but how about S1?

[meggala]

it works very well there getting the hot air out of the engine

The vent hole MUST be in the first 3rd of the bonnet to extract hot air, the way air moves under the bonnet is kinda weird and if you place the vent near the rear it will do next to nothing. Just don't put it above the battery, plugs or air filter.

Idealy it should be just behind the radiator, most of the good vents actually go down behind the radiator to help draw the air out.

thanks, so the vent in the picture will do a good job I think...anyone has idea where I can get one for S1 r33?

Yeah that vent is in the right place, as the air passes over the top of the vent then it causes a slight vacuum and drags the hot air through the vent.

The people who make the Series 2 bonnet are also planning on releasing a Series 1 version, give them a call and see when it will be ready.

lowlux,

I was gonig to buy an original bonnet and have vents cut, but by the time it was cut and resprayed it would have cost more than an aftermarket vented one.

Yeah the vents look well placed, only concern I have is what affect the weather will have on the bonnet over time.

Yep best thing to do if you like the carbon look is to give the bonnet a light rub down and apply some 2 pac clear over the upper side otherwise you could paint it the same colour as your car! ( have read some where that they don't like the sun too much because the shiny side is just a thin layer of gel coat (polished) so best to protect the bonnet before fitting)

p.s R32 bonnets need a GTR bonnet catch to fit GTS-t,GTS-4,GTS!
