Carbon Fibre R32 Doors, Guards And Bonnet [qld]


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, these panels have been making wall ornaments in my living room for long enough so they need to go. Rare as hens teeth, i'm not sure if there's any other sets like this in Australia. From other photos i've seen i believe the doors and vented guards are Garage Saurus, the bonnet is Shift Sports (slightly different weave but barely noticeable). Panels aren't perfect but in good condition, bonnet is very good. The main imperfections are in the painted strip at the top of the doors and guards. You could paint it to match your car or very carefully sand it back. These came off my GTR so i know they fit and work exactly the same as stock. Both doors have handles, electrics, window and one will come with some spare hinges and speaker i've got.

Weights (each approx)

Doors 17kg complete with everything (stock ~30kg)

Guards 1.2kg (GTR ~2.5kg, GTST~?)

Bonnet 7kg (GTR ~10kg, GTST ~18kg)

I've had interest from someone wanting the doors only but i'd rather keep such rare panels together so i want to sell the doors and guards together, or the whole set. I'd prefer a local buyer (could probably deliver to Bris/Gold Coast at no cost) but am open to interstate if you've got ideas on how to post carefully.

I'm chasing $3400 for doors and guards, $1400 for the bonnet, or $4000 for the lot, but am open to offers.

That's less than 1/3 of the new price! (see here and here)

Lots of pics below and more available by request.

Are these able to be a stock fit to a 32 GTST ? and are you able to paint CF without being able to notice the difference between CF panels and normal ones ?

GTR and GTST doors are exactly the same so no problems there. The guards would be wider than GTST ones so you might need wider indicators? I'm not quite sure how the conversion works. Painted they look just the same as metal panels.

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
