GROUP BUY FOR BONNET STRUTS FOR SKYLINE BONNET

WAT UP MEMBERS IV RECENTLY GOT A STRUT KIT MADE UP CUSTOM FOR MY CAR.

AS I COULD NOT FIND A EXSISTING KIT FOR MY R34 BESIDES THE TEIN BRAND WHICH

COSTS WELL OVER $450, AND DATS LITTLE BIT TOO PRICEEEE.

ALSO THE TEIN KIT IS FOR CARBON FIBRE BONNETS NOT THE HEAVIER STOCK BONNETS.

THE GUY WHO MADE THE KIT UP FOR ME IS A PRIVATE MODIFIER JUST GOES BY AS

BK CUSTOMS.

I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH THE KIT.

THE BONNET SITS 5-10CM HIGHER WHICH IS BETTER FOR WORKING IN THE BAY

ALSO IT REQUIRES NOTHING TO INSTALL EVERYTHING COMES WITH.

BOLTS DIRECTLY UP TO UR EXISTING HINGES AND GUARD.

I GOT MINE MADE UP FOR MY R34 GTT AND IT COST ME A BIT OVER $280 BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST SO MORE TIME WAS SPENT ON GETTING IT RIGHT.

I HAV CONTACTED THE GUY AGAIN AND HE SAID THAT HE CAN MAKE THE KIT FOR $200 IF HE DOES ROUND 10 KITS MINIMUM.

AS THIS KIT WAS CUSTOM FOR THE R34 GTT IM PRETTY SURE THE R33 GTST IS THE SAME BUT NOT SURE BOUT R32.

IF U R INTERESTED LET ME KNO AND SEND ME A PIC OF UR HINDGES AND I WILL FORWARD IT TO BK CUSTOMS.

MY EMAIL IS [email protected]

I WILL POST PICS UP OF MINE AS SOON AS I CAN FIND MY F***EN CABLE FOR THE CAMERA. LOL :P

ye i think he does let me double check with him and i will pm u da detail. and i totally understand ur concern about being legit. i had mine made up by him because i kno him and he tackles jobs that others dont want to. thats why i like his attitude and he does a good job.

as for the kit it comes with the struts and brackets and bolts up to ur hindge via ur orig nut and ur orig bolt on ur guard.

someone post some pics of an R32 bonnet hinge pleaseeee

hmmm seems like no one has a camera. :dry: lol

i will do my reaserch and get sum skyline drivers togeda and take pics of all the different hindges. then will send to bk customs for his thoughts.

also i should prob put up like a starting date for the group buy. :P

The kit looks OK but I have concerns about the mounting brackets moving around / coming loose. With the weight of a GTT bonnet and the force of those struts, I could see them moving and even bending in a short period of time. If the mounting brackets were of a better design ( so as to stop the above from happening ) I would be a lot more interested.

I wish the guy making these kits was in Sydney so I could work with him to design something better. :P

Anyway, I'm a quality whore so maybe I'm just too anal.

There's also the small matter of what .:: GimpS-R34 ::. said.

im glad ur so anal lol because there is a magority of ppl who feel the same. here are some facts mine hav been on my vehicle for 8 months so far with constant bonnet opening.

also we actually ran over these brackets and were not able to bent them, so ur bonnet wont do it eather.

we used the toughest stainless steel we could source.

so never fear this shit is superman. lol

also for concerns of being legit i hav sourced bk customs a.b.n it is 13 437 145 176

and one more thing its good to get interests in this kits durability because u might not buy the first batch but others will, then they can tell the rest if they are good or not.

so in all honesty u can chose to trust in this product or not but eventually there will be ppl who are goin to purchase them and find out for them selves. then they can comment on the durabilty, craftsmanship and value. and i am very happy with mine and this is the reason why i hav started this group buy.

Looks good mate.. i'd be interested aye.. so what's required to get it all up and running? i'd be happy to be a guinea pig.. buy one and let the others know quality, assurance etc.. if not let us know when this will all be up and running.. cheers

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
