Hi Guys,

I have a genuine BNR32 GTR bonnet for sale. It's gun metal grey. The bonnet structurally is in great condition, except for one little dent about the size of a 5 or 10 cent piece. It's not very bad, and would be easily fixed. The paintwork however needs re-doing as the clear is a little flaky, and a little scratched in places. It comes with a mint condition bonnet liner with the clips, which is $$$ even on it's own to replace. Also has the front S emblem still attached, and the windscreen washer jets intact too. It would be great if you've wrecked your GTR bonnet, or if you want it as an upgrade for your GTST. It is so light it's not funny! I have picked up carbon bonnets that with frame would have been heavier than this.

I'm after $530 for it and pick up only from Sydney north shore. Sorry, but this is one thing I cant easily organise postage/freight for. However, I guess if you could organise a courier to pick it up I would allow it to be collected and couriered at your expense.

i am keen to try and have this gone before next week, as I am sick of having this in the way. so dont be shy, make the ol' baron an offer.

still keen to move this bad boy so with that in mind I'm doing something I generally dont do, knocking the price down to $450.

Gday my name is dennis just crashed my R32 gtr at the crash shop now

please call asap Dennis on 0415 344 630

or provident crash and speak to rob or paul on 08 83379325

hi mate bonnet liner is fine. all it needs is dent removed, then prep and paint it. :(

I will look into what courier options are available this arvo.

Hey there spoke to crash shop they mentioned they are going to push for new one but i will keep in touch see how it pans out in a week or so

Find any prices for delivery?

no problem Siro. I have one buyer who has said they will take it, and collect it this week (well last week actually). I'll give them till next week, then after that it's up for grabs again.

If you are keen you can check out freight cost with whoever you need. It's 148cm by 170cm and say 5cm thick, weighs under 10kgs. it will need to be collected by the freight company from sydney, 2069.

was sold to a local buyer who was coming to pick it up, but they have done the ol' back-flip on me. so appologies to the two blokes who I said the bonnet was sold. turns out it was not sold after all.

sooooo.

still for sale, price still the same. happy to sell it to someone interstate providing you organise a courier to come and pick it up (after you pay for it!).

well i sincerely hope it will be sold in 1 month lol!

I had a buyer for this (well 3). I told two it was sold to the 3rd one as we had made a deal and were arranging pick-up, then they kindly pulled out and now ignore my pms. nice. of course the other 2 buyers I told it was sold to quite rightly went elsewhere.

upshot is it's still for sale, and still sitting on my porch. :blush:

thats gotta shit ya richard

no use being nice these days

apply the old first in with the dosh is best dressed policy

yeah, I was a fool. I pm'd two keen buyers saying "sorry, sold." I was very close to giving this person a bad trader rating for it. which would be fair enough. I've never given one before either in probably over 100 transactions on the forum. :happy:

anyway, still for sale.

no harder than thin sheet metal. I have had a dented aluminium panel repaied before. no problem. the dent in this bonnet is the size of the end of your finger. I could probably knock it out with a rubber hammer but it most definately can be repaired easily when getting it painted.

this piece of fine panel work is still hogging space on my verandah. someone make me a happy Baron and give me some dough for it. this was $530, then $450! now I'm cutting this thing down to $430. sick of my backyard looking like a wreckers. at the moment it's got a roll cage, 2 front seats, rear seats, seat frames, GT wing, 2 windows, a door, 8 brake rotors etc etc and that's not even starting on the boxes of small bits. anyway, point is the bonnet needs to go, so snap up a bargain. when I wanted a good GTR bonnet months ago I couldn't find one for love or money, and those few of them around were all around $1000.

I was under the impression that aluminium is very hard to work with and that its not a matter of just simply popping out a dent??

I have worked with 16 thou sheet metal. Nothing is ever not repairable.

I have repaired a few skins on planes and well the work is different. I am sure a soft rubber mallet would fix this easily.

Free bump for ya Beer baron.

If i didnt want my manual conversion so much i would get this and find a nice GTR front bar.

after 2 false starts with different buyers, 3rd serious buyer came through and bonnet is on it's way :P

SOLD

nice work.

ferking trader rating 61 here you come?? :(

lol, I will stop when I get to 69. dunno why but that number seems especially lucky :rant:

RNGTR: bonnet is wrapped and addressed and ready to go :rant:

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
