I know somone who has a carbon fiber bonnet on their gts t 32. I was wondering if that bonnet would fit on my gtr 32? i thought it would but was unsure so i thought i would ask you guys. Also how much does a carbon fiber bonnet go for retail? How much does a regular gtr bonnet go for retail? Hope you guys can help me. cheers.

let's just drag this on even longer!, sorry. i have seen the carbon fibre bonnet and it is a "wrap around" style to suit a gts-t. it will fit my gtr but only if the wrap around piece was cut off. is there any where that can do this? the car artist in Launceston maybe? any suggestions on whether, firstly the front can be cut off, and secondly where would i get it done???

how do carbon bonnets come up after they are painted?

ive heard mixed stories

some say they are fine others say they come up sh*t house

umm well considering they have that clear coat over them i would assume u would need to rub it back to get rid of it = pain in the ass! wonder if you would get any texture in the finish?

personally it would kinda defeat the purpose of getting a carbon bonnet, why not get a fibreglass one way cheaper and painting it.

probably not, plenty of ppl with gtst's who wanna put a kit on theirs would buy it,

a mate of mine did it to his gtst looks phat as.

damm, thats a real shame that the gts bonnet can't be modified to fit my gtr. i was just going to swap bonnets! oh well, i will spend the 1000 on a carbon fibre bonnet. do you reckon a nice gtr bonnet will be hard to get rid of. Know any one?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
