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.

wow, i should have really looked into the price before i got mine modified...

where did you say divide by 3 before? i can't find it... and i have no idea what the average market price for a bonnet is...

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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
