Anyone know where I can get a fibreglass copy of the Z-Tune style bonnet for a R34 GTT from? Apart from carmate?

I don't have carbon fibre because im going paint it anyway, so no point of having carbon.

Cheers

The one you have is East Bear isn't it? That's only got one vent.

If you do have others, can you please pm me with price posted to Melbourne?

Cheers

Lol, I wouldn't have a clue about carmate, but it seems like they are the only option for fibreglass.

As JSAI, Japwarehouse etc etc, buys em from SEIBON (overseas) or something and I think they are about $950 posted, but that's in carbon fibre.

And it just seems like a waste if you paint over a full carbon fibre bonnet.

Maybe I'll keep on sourcing, and maybe could get like a mini group buy happening?

I'll of course try and look for something that's actually in Australia.

Yea well i have exactly the same plan as you, im also planning on buying a Z tune bonnet and painting over it, so doesnt matter if its CF or not.. And carmate is only 600 bucks delivered...

And carmate has the one's to fit up to GTT hinges and latch and it looks like the Z tune GTR bonnet

Yeah I know, but I've heard mixed feedbacks about carmate lol :)

But I've just spoke to a supplier, he said he will help me find out where else he could source a fibreglass one and I told him a few people might be interested and he was cool with doing a group buy with a little discount, so I'll keep yo'll updated :P

Oh damn...can you post or pm me where you got it from and price?

Also post up pics when you get it installed, not sure whether to go down that route yet as haven't been able to find any decent pics to really convince me :bunny:

Yeah no worries at all. The kits are made by Josh from JSAI, but I'm getting it through a distributor in VIC, called Jap Warehouse. Mu Secret is another distributor in another state.

If you go to JapWarehouse, just say Charles from SAU sent you, he will try and look after you.

Here's a pic of the kit:

I've also asked about the bonnet, I got a price for 2 bonnets, $630ea picked up. Which normally are $695ea.

Carmate does it for $650 posted.

But my supplier did say if we get 10, there would be a bigger discount, so I'm just waiting to see how much it will be for each if there's an order of 10.

Yeah those are the pics i found on the net too, its just that the kit looks a bit awkward in the pics..

But who knows when you install on your car it might look awesome and tempt me to do it too! :bunny:

Ok, I just spoke to Carmate, the dude reckons if we order 10 Z-Tune style bonnets, we can get 10% off the price ($559) which will be about $505ea plus delivery ($60-80). Would anyone be interested?

When you mean awkward, do you mean the grill part?

Because the grill part is made just like a stock GTT bumper, and the GTR bumper is totally different, because of different bonnet (which allows a bonnet lip), maybe that's why it looks awkward :bunny:

Yeah that’s part of it :)

But also might be just be the front bar looks a little 'big' for the car. Though maybe the kit just looks a bit big for the car because of the stock wheels. So might look a lot tougher with bigger and wider wheels to fill the guards :bunny:

Once you but the kit on your car Charles and if I have the money... ill look into getting it :)

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
