As stated in the title, i am currently tracking down a GTR Bonnet for my R32 Gts-t.

From what i know, all the needs to be done is that the latches need to be brought forward a little.

Is this correct ??

Has anybody performed this conversion on their car before and can offer some advice ??

Thanks for the replies.

Booster, i have actually purchased a GTR grille so i will be using that.

And, no, i'm not doing it for a weight saving, i'm actually doing it for the look.

It looks so much better, especially when you have an aftermarket front bar like mine.

Is it lighter? Its made of aluminium it's ALOT lighter. Only way youd get lighter than ally is if you made it out of carbon.

Most people get it for the look though. Im lucky, mine came with the full gtr kit from Japan, not sure id make the effort to get it if it hadnt.

Buz-iit,

No-one reproduces them and they are so difficult to get.

Mine took a lot of negotiation and a lot of cash to get. Plus, i had to pay to get it painted.

Wouldn't go through the process again as it took $300 just to get the grille and have it sprayed.

The car looked fine without them but i'm sure it would look so much better with them though although it is a $1000 transition.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
