Hey guys,
Got an RB26/30 and a big single turbo - the bonnet is so close to shutting but just wont shut! What have you guys done to get around that? Im trying to avoid spacers, was wondering if there's a carbon bonnet or whatever thats got great clearance?!?!

Can't you just trim the frame of the bonnet? Wouldn't that be enough?
I've seen pics of Jap drag cars that have completly removed the framing to save weight. -------------------- "cons for the N/A motor- you dont get farken WHOOOSH !"

Timing belt cover or the turbo. If you get a genuine c/f bonnet it doesn't have the support frame, as it is very strong/stiff on it's own. I have a full c/f bonnet made by Custom Carbon (currently not fitted to car and at the mechanic's w/shop), it consists or 3 layers of carbon and resin, that's it, no fibre-glass, etc. -------------------- My Trusted workshop: Servicing my R33 for 7yrs and counting ;)

i dont know if anyone has thought of this, but any one thought of using LD28 engine mounts instead of hacking holes in bonnet subframes?
this was suggested from a retired mechanic who helped with my hilux rb30 conversion. -------------------- QUOTE i think you will find the rattle and the crunch will dissapear if you have rices for breakfast instead of cornflakes, a snap crackle n pop from the exhaust is usually a good sign of a nice flowing exhaust, however in this case drop the gluten from the crankcase and run some thinner oil as obviously what is in there isnt protecting the mechanically moving bits on startup. |

then theres def something wrong my rb30/26 has 28ml of clearance from sump to the nearest piece of crossmember/steering rack....... and still have room for the 50x50 ml overkill strut brace over the top of the motor.
