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

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
