Hi everyone, I'm fitting a GTR bonnet to my R34 GT-X skyline, i have a pair of conversion hinges and top mole (nose) on order.

Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to the cars lock mechanism so that i can retain the catch on my new bonnet?

If you have done this your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Well you could try buying the GTR latch from nissan. About $80 brand new.

Not sure if it would solve your problem , you might also need to the upright part the latch bolts onto as well.

Is that all it would cost, i assumed it would cost an arm and a leg, had been trying to find a GTR that was wrecking.

Thanks, will call them tomorrow.

You will need both GTR latch and latch support if you are using a genuine GTR bonnet.

what front bar you going to use?

I'm using the factory fitted front bar (as shown in first post) but you can also use the Nissan Aero front bar as you can buy a front mole for that bar aswell.

The ultimate front bar for this setup is the East Bear GTR version as it fits non GTR's without changing front gaurds. (shown below).

I was bidding on the same bonnet you bought, but with frieght to Brissy it became too much

Yeah, could'nt believe my luck when i won the auction, i was'nt actually looking for a GTR bonnet but as a new one would have cost three times that amount

retail it was a bargain especially as it was brand new and had never been fitted and pickup was only 20 mins away.

Average price for a R34 GTR carbon bonnet approx $900-1200

This new one sold for less than $470 on ebay. Was old stock and shop wanted to get rid of it.

It was going to cost me approx $150 freight plus the chance of it getting damaged, so I did not bid too high on it

Plus I already have a genuine alloy 34GTR bonnet on my Stagea

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
