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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
