Hi guys,

I have a R34 Gtt full carbon fibre OEM bonnet from Japan for sale. Suitable for respray as the clear coat has been stripped by some idiot at the car detailing place trying to wax the thing. The bonnet is full carbon fibre so extremely light and rare, its not the fibreglass with carbon fibre top. Reason for selling is that i brought a new bonnet so no longer required. Bonnet sits perfectly flush with the gaurds, strong latch attached. The only imperfections is a small chip towards the nose from a stone, and the bonnet does feels like a matt black due the detailing place therefore requires respray or recoating the clear coat might bring it back to normal.

$1100 when new from Japan.

Will sell for $370.

For inspection call 0433214198 after hours 6PM on working days.

Im not 100% sure about the fitment on the R34 sedan, looks to me that it is the same, would anyone be able to confirm it? The whole bonnet was detailed so the whole clear coat is evenly stripped, not in patches. Also when i use a wet cloth to wipe the bonnet down it brings the carbon fibre back to original when wet.

Just to reply to some messages, this bonnet weighs in at 13Kg, shaves of heaps of kgs compared to the stock bonnet and even the fibreglass types, you can easily open your bonnet with the index finger when attached to car.

seen this bonnet in person. is in pretty good nick, even though will need respray or clear coat if wanting the carbon fibre look. but other than that, very good looking bonnet especially with the lip.

thanks john-e boi for the comment, that just reminds me that the front of the bonnet is slightly lipped so it does come out a few centimetres more than a stock bonnet. Slightly sharper and tougher, than stock bonnets by covering the grill more.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
