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.

David.

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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      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.

      Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much

      I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
