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.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
