Hey guys,

Ive been collecting bonnets lately so time to offload this one!

Its a T2 Style Carbon Fibre Vented bonnet from Carmate which has been professionally painted black. You can slightly see the weave under the paint. Its a very light bonnet and awesome for cooling!

The bonnet is immaculate, no chips on edges or scrapes or cracks, its as new. The paint itself is mint but has slight cracking on the RHS on the front of the vent but is barely noticeable. I only saw it because im pedantic :) It has just had a nice dose of Meguiars Polish too!

Its very good quality and it actually lines up nicely with the edges of the guards and headlights. Dont take too much notice of the pics ive posted, its not shut properly because I had the GTSt vertical support installed at the time, so the bonnet wasnt engaged into the latch.

This bonnet suits the GTR bonnet latch vertical support (short one), so Im offering mine to the buyer if needed.

Located in Melbournes east, interstate buyers welcome, can arrange freight anywhere for about the $50 mark.

Asking $700 for the bonnet, $50 for the vertical support.

Will only sell the support seaparately if buyer of the bonnet doesnt want/need it.

Cheers,

Mat.

Interested in the bonnet. This is using OEM latch or is there some hidden bonnet catches. Willing to ship out of country (Canada) at my expense? Payment would be paypal is shipping costs are acceptable. Could you confirm this is for GTR? I've seen these for sale as GTR when they were infact GTST and would cause fitment issues. Thanks.

I forgot to ask, since you're a bonnet collector, would you know where to find or who makes a paintable Carbon or FPR R-tuned bonnet for an R32 GTR? The one that looks like the Z-tuned car.

The closest thing would be a D-MAX bonnet, except they have a huge bulge at the rear near the windscreen. In my opinion the bulge is ugly.

Fitment wise the GTSt and GTR bonnets are exactly the same, except if the GTSt bonnet has the front part that hangs in between the headlights. The only difference between the two is the position of the bonnet catch. This bonnet will fit straight onto a GTR if it has the original OEM GTR bonnet catch vertical support, the part the actual latch bolts to, I can confirm that is fact. No hidden catches.

Shipping OS is fine with me, please let me know your area code and preffered freight company, as the one I usually use does not ship worldwide.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
