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 :)

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
