I would like to put on a Nismo Z-tune style GT-R bonnet on a GT-T.

Already getting the East Bear front, but don't like the look of their bonnet.

What would I need to do this?

Hinges, locking mechanism, front wings?

im sure there are several threads covering what you would need to fit a gtr bonnet to a gtt, do a search, and you should get a more definitive answer.

im pretty sure that its just the hinges, mechanisms to keep the bonnet down/bonnet release, and the obvious gtr styled front bar or gtt bar with a top mole.

Yes Rush is right, there are a few threads covering this.

Here is the part numbers you will need to order from Nissan Japan ( order via Local Nissan Dealer and they will import) You will also need to pay for the parts up front before your dealer will order them most of the time.

I will also list the prices but dont quote me ,the price may have increased slightly since i purchased mine.

Nissan GTR OEM Part numbers

65400-AA400 - Hinge Assembly - RH - $81 Australian

65401-AA400 - Hinge Assembly - LH - $84 Australian

62550-AA400 - Stay - Hood Lock - $88 Australian

65601-AA400 - Male Assembly Hood Lock - $100 Australian

It will probably be easier to use a GTT front bar with a Nose attachment rather than going all out to modify a GTR bonnet ( i went all out, very expensive and long time - need much patience) If you choose to go a GTR bar and not modify it then you will need to change the guards which will also mean bigger rims to fill the space or spacers which i wouldn't recommend.

All the best with this.

Sorry for not using the search function (usually the first to tell others they have to :P strange :P )

I'm going for the East Bear Spec 2 kit from Knight-Racer, but as stated I want a different bonnet.

The GTR bar from KR will fit the GTT wings.

NZMO thank you for the part numbers.

Is the locking mechanism easy to change or do you have to drill holes in the framework to fit the GTR lock?

And the GTR bonnet is just as width and has the same front line (where the headlights are mounted) as the GTT bonnet?

As far as i know that bonnet is exactly like the gtr, meaning the front of the bonnet doesnt fold down like the gtt. So it would be exactly like putting the east bear bonnet on, but...ztune lol.

If thats what your talking about.

Josh's ( JSAI ) their Z-Tune Bonnets for the GTT actually do fold down over the nose.

hey NZMO, are they impul side skirts?

yes they sure are, im not sure what ill be doing in the coming months with them as im going for GTR rear guards(which means ill also have to change my rear bar to a GTR bar to line up - hence my signature wanted to buy ) and Z-Tune front guards being GTR fitment i dont think ill be able to keep these skirts as ill have to go either Z-tune skirts and modify them not sure as yet.

For the locking mechanism there is not to much involved and as for the bonnet it does line up with the guards line and head lights.

Good luck with your project, i know its not going to be cheap.

Nice kit too , my front Bar is Top Secret GTR.

cheers,

David.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
