can you explain a bit about the L piece and the lock? do i need the GTR L piece and the lock from the GTR?

are these the parts which are on the GTR body?

any issues with fitment of the GTR bonnet around the GTS headlamps/indicators?

Cheers!!

The L shaped thingy is what th bonnet catch and lock assembly is attatched to. Open your bonet and have a look. You'll see what we mean by the L shaped thingy. it has 2 bots at the top and one on the botton and hs the horns attatched to them.

And no, no issued with fitment of the GTR bonnet around the GTS headlight nd indicators.

Just double check to see if you have two clip holes on the inner ide of each headlight. If you do, thts where the GTR grill clips in, if you dont its no big usse, it clips into another hole as well

You dont have to get the gtr latch and bracket if you dont want to. The gtst one can be easily adjusted to fit the gtr bonnets clip. Depends how much money you want to spend on the car. If your on a budget then just use the gtst one

Do you have any further tips for the modification of the gts bonnet catch to retain the gtr bonnet? have had a bonnet flip up at high speed which wasn't pleasant so hopefully the mods are reliable. will go to bonnet pins if required, but i would prefer not to use bonnet pins.

There is 3 bolts on the latch connected to the l-bracket. Undo the bottom middle one and put the bottom of the latch forward which will angle the top of the latch further backwards and line up with the clip on the bonnet. Just keep adjusting till you get it. I did mine and havent had any problems.

spend $100 get a gtr latch , saves you hassle

you dont need a gtr latch - the latches are exactly the same.

the only part that needs to be changed is the "L" shaped bracket of the front reo, by changing this "L" bracket it relocates the standard bonnet latch to allign with the gtr's latching position.

this is the part that your horns should be bolted too, and also if you have a greddy fmic this is where the top mount bolts to.

i picked up my "L" shape reo bracket for approx $40 or so.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
