Extra Information:

Up for sale I have a brand new NISMO carbon fiber bonnet for an R32 skyline, still in brand new condition.

Selling for only $500. I need this gone so I can buy one that fits.

The add I purchased this bonnet from had a link to the site it was purchased from. That link had the R32 GTR CF Bonnet not the GTS-T, however the original add just had R32 Nismo CF bonnet for sale.

PS: I dont want to ship interstate as damage invaribly occurs

why exactly doesn't it fit your GTR?

The bonnet catch bar is about 1inch short on length to line up to the latch.

When you move the bonnet forward to the latch, the holes at the rear bonnet dont line up with bonnet hinges on the GTR by about an inch.

When I put a (T1) CF GTR bonnet on my old black 32 gts-t I had to replace the latch and get the GTR grill.

Good point, I'm not certain J'son.

I am certian it will spark many points of view on safety/legalities.

I have taken my GTR over the pits at Dickson twice in the last 6 years and been passed both times without mention. The first time I got the "too loud too low" fail, but with extra tyre pressure and the exhaust swapped over a pass mark. It also passed in Qld with the CF (FPR) bonnet.

I got told when I rang up that it wasn't legal as they don't meet the ADR standards although if I could get an engineer to sign off on it then it "might" be ok.

My insurance company also wouldn't guarantee that I would be covered in an accident if someone got injured because of it.

I decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

Ta Kat. Always heard that they are not legal... and this as cool as they look, i aint worth it.

You can get fake carbon look ones, or at leas a film to coat them with though... If want the look, and not the performance enhancement....

Hey Richard - I am over that way later next week. If it fits my car its mine.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
