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

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
