Hi Andy;

put mine in yesterday, the bonnet rib running lengthways down the centre contacts at the highest point of the cam/sparkplug/timing belt covers about the same place as the white mark forward of the oil filler cap in the photo. you only seem to have cut the bonnet to acommodate the turbo, did you find contact with the covers also?

Hi,

Yes, I've had to cut more of the bonnet away to clear the cam cover. You can just see the rubbing mark in the photo.

I'll post up a pic tomorrow.

Truth is, I don't know. The bonnet is slightly more curved on the R33.

Thanks Andy.

Rockabilly a friend has one in an R33 GTR and has only had to cut away some bonnet insulation.

You could put a spacer under the subframe and lower the engine

R32 Combat · 16th April 2007, 09:10 PM

Looking pretty square and even. Like it.

R32 Combat · 16th April 2007, 09:14 PM

The drive is awesome. Very punchy. Loads of fun.

Nice torque

I make 422 lbft @ 5820rpm = 467bhp - are you selling yourself short somewhere?

R32 Combat · 16th April 2007, 09:17 PM

@ what boost?

kingsley · 16th April 2007, 10:12 PM

"I make" = "I calculate", as explained in PM

hi rocar yes that's been suggested however I'm concerned about what it might do to the suspension geometry.

those power figures look awesome andy.

R32 Combat · 17th April 2007, 05:13 PM

The figs should have read

549.9 hp @ fly
422 lbs/ft @ fly
