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 :)

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
