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 would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
