Charles,

I thought i'd do a bit of research here into the bonnet, and I remembered that JDL Tuning make one http://www.jdltuning.com/nissan-skyline-r3...jdl-bonnet.html . I did a quick currency conversion and it worked out to be:

389.00 EUR=528.408 AUDhttp://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=3...2&image.y=8

On the site, they say shipping is € 32.00 aswell, so I was wondering maybe if you contacted them you could organise a possible discount for a group buy? Not interested in one myself, just thought i'd open up another option :( . They also make what looks like a very nice Z-Tune front kit and now a full conversion kit. Here's the link to their R34 GTT parts http://www.jdltuning.com/nissan/skyline-r34-gtt.html

Great find and great prices :(

Im getting awfully tempted now lol

Slightly off topic but are you concerned that the ztune front bar may sit a bit low too the ground?

I found this pic on the net and it sits quite low and the car doesn't look that lowered

@TM7GTR I've just worked out the total amount for their bonnet, which doesn't seem as cheap when you add up everything lol. Bonnet = €389, plus €30 for undercoating (a must), then shipping (it's only €32 if it's in UK) .... with UPS €366. Ends up to be €817.28....... Would be cheap if you are in UK...

@RusH_ Yes, that is an awesome bonnet for that price... especially when they are $1080USD. But the thing is.... I really don't wanna get CF lol, only because I would feel really sad if I have to paint over it haha. So if I could save $100-150 and buy fibreglass, that savings would go towards the respray :banana:

@blah_blah That picture is the one I've seen as well, that car is on sale at boostcruising? It just have the z-tune style front bar, without the skirts and pods. Not sure about you, but my car sits similar height as that and has a factory lip. BUT BUT the best thing about JSAI's bar is that the lip/diffuser, is a totally seperate piece, which you can just unbolt whenever you want :rofl: So if you are scrapping, just take it off, only 5-6 bolts holding onto it. Or, just raise the car slightly :)

Just had another chat to my supplier, he can get us 10 SEIBON carbon fibre bonnets RRP $1080USD for $690ea pick up from Vic.

Here's a pic.

NISSAN%20R34%20GTT%20CARBON%20FIBRE%20BONNET%20BODY%20KIT%20AERO%20KIT%20AERO%20PA(1).jpg

Can you please find out if your supplier is willing to post to perth? If so, how much they would want?

:)

@SS8_Gohan I just can't find it in me to paint over a nicely resin-ed CF bonnet lol

@R34GTFOUR I'll try and find out for you. Because what happens is, it's only $690 because the supplier is shipping the whole lot down to Vic. So I'll ask whether we can arrange courier before it gets to Vic or after when it's in Vic. Worse comes to Worse, it will be $690 plus courier to you. With E-go, might be like $750 all up.

@mattyneweraimports yes please :happy: and maybe you could do a deal for us with a group buy of say... 10?

I think if mattyneweraimport can't beat the prices that Carmate gave us, I might make a group buy for Carmate's fibreglass bonnet.

I think the bonnets will be about $505ea plus postage $50-80 depending on where you live, can even do pick up.

im keeping an eye on this too :happy:

hey charles,

check your email!

Ps. What does the z tune style bonnet look like, exact replica? Does it snuggly fit GTTs?

Def interested :ermm::)

there are several pics in this thread

no one here has bought one of the bonnets yet so i dont think anyone can confirm how good the fitment is at this stage

I'm gonna call up again on Monday to get the exact prices for the bonnets and the exact postage, so I can post up a group buy.

And for those who owns a GTR or GTT wanting GTR conversion, I think the dude at Carmate said that if we can get 10 people buying bonnet, they can choose from a range of styles and apply the 10% off.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
