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.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
