hey man,

Lights are the same, as long as you have bugeye with GTR grille connectors or the N1 lights

as for the bonnet catch, you can either use a GTR one like above, or get the GTS-t one, move it to the back of the support :D so drill holes behind hte exist holes and move it about 1-2cm furthur back :P did that when I got my GTR fibreglass bonnet, works very well :)

OK thanks!! Seems pretty easy!

Whats a Bugeye? lol

If i have standard R32 Gts-t lights what would I need to buy to make the bonnet work? :rofl:

You can fit a GTR bonnet with any headlight. The only difference would be that some don't have the brackets to hold the grille on. As long as you modify/change your bonnet latch, a GTR bonnet will fit.

i got a genuine GTR Bonnet and Grill painted in white, none of this fibreglass, full alluminium with the mat aswell still on the bonnet

and a genuine grill, painted white n in original plastic

offer the right price n i mite let em go

Where are you located mate?

GTR bonnet is SOOO much lighter than gtst lol, when i felt one i was like "WTF"

Haha yeah, i went to open the hood on a mates R34 GT and for a bit I thought the lock was stuffed, but no it really is that heavy.

hey man

i got your PM,

I'll get a pic up tonight when i get home

Basically here's a rundown:

remove current latch

you'll see the two bolt holes, get a drill say a 10mm drill piece, drill straight through the bolt holes to the back of the reinforcement bar, then you move the latch about 1" towards the engine and bolt it to the new holes

you use the bolts inside the engine bay in exactly the opposite way of when you have the latch in it's normal position,

I'll post up the technique and what it looks like tonight

Alright :P here goes, sorry about the crappy pics, must bumper, ligths and other things are off at the moment, because i'm stripping it fora respray

Here are the existing bolt holes, with bolts removed, I drilled through to the rear of these

new018.jpg

These are how the bolts sit now, backwards to where they were, with the radiator still fitting in nicely :rofl:

This shows my radiator, if fits with the stadnard one, but that one is a 240sx(180sx) radiator from the states, 55mm thick >_< triple core, best of all if only cost me $220NZD :( plus a $10 top pipe from a commonwhore from stupidcheap auto, very cheap and good upgrade, fully recommend it

do a search for aluminum 240sx radiator on ebay :( and get one

All i had to do was tap a hole for the water temp sender and the thing never even gets over 1/2 way even without hte fan running sitting at idle for 30 minutes :)

Bottom pipe lines up perfectly, goes into existing radiator holes

new020.jpg

what it looks like now, see how the bolts are at the back and the catch is about 1"(2.5cm furthur back)

new021.jpg

Testing the latch

new022.jpg

Clicks closed :) perfect

Test subject - R32 GTR Fibreglass replica bonnet with intake vent and radiator vent

ur a legend mate, ima do this 2moz but i got it holdin down at the moment with proper bonnet pins looks tough as:)

How close does it sit to the top of the standard radiator??

sorry for the late reply :S

sits exactly the same as the standard bonnet :P no lower or higher, changing the bolts to the other side doesn't hit the radiator eitehr :D perfectly cheap mod

also if you need a cheap 50mm core radiator, go like the one above, same height, mounting points as the R32, just different top pipe location

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
