Im sure autobahn etc sell them.. they are called gas struts .. they use a bolt on ball and arm configuration that works similar to your hip joint where a ball rotates in a socket to allow movement..

You will need fairly strong ones to hold up that stock bonnet.. fibreglass is another story

hope that helps

depends if you like being cracked in the head via it opening .. yes strong is good but not strongest.. let us know how u go though would be interesting to see... easy install just check your boot ones and then link it to the front :P

Here is the link that Craved is talking about:

Sounds like a very handy mod to do, i hate lifting that pole up, and always worried about knocking it, or the wind catching the bonnet.

adelaide based, R34 ones are $165, have'nt got one myself yet.

if someone has more time than me or is located in Adel. maybe someone could organise a group buy.

oh, i found this after looking through e-bay.

Cant seem to find the GTT one.

All i can find is the x-trail/pathfinder :)

Maybe i'll just get a CF bonnet...save weight...

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
