what type of lip is it? mine was cut and a lip was stuck on with screws inside the engine bay... some people actually though mine was original aswell lol

Same. Only when you lift a genuine gtr bonnet do you realise how much difference there is.

thats because genuine gtr bonnet's are made of aluminium and gts-t bonnets are made of metal.

i dont really want to pay 500 for a bonnet + gtr hinges to make it fit as i only like the appearance.

maybe i should rust proof mine.. a some coats of primer should help aye?

im just waiting for my lip to come in, hope its in one piece and doesnt come snapped.

exact same reason with me, didn't really want to spend that much for just a bonnet when its going to look exactly the same!

and the sikaflex worked really well i don't think its ever going to come off! lol

heres a pic for those thinking to do the same

oh and bert_ i actually bought the bonnet chopped with the lip, i just sanded it down really good making sure everything was smooth and put it together using "sikaflex" as told to by the users above (thanks!) :D

thanks for the picture, haha well its the outside appearance that matters. i was just afraid of cutting it and having a massive gap that air could get in and lift my bonnet. but thats just me being paranoid.

ive got a carbon lip do you think ill be able to glue it on aswell using sikaflex?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
