Asking Price: $500

Condition: New

Reason for Selling: Purchased for my GTR - It arrived today and guess what - Fits GTS-t's !!!!

Contact Info: 0404 822 143

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.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
