wrong, they're both for GTT, the first link, second picture, is a GTT bonnet, and sellers listing states its for a GTT.

the seller should've been more clear and use GTT bonnet pictures only tho.

if your painting it your obviously going to leave some CF showing yes?

otherwise there's no point in getting the CF covered one...

pics when done and report back on how you like the bonnet when the car is in the rain...

I got my bonnet today will have it fitted on the 13th so ill post pics if it all goes will

and W34pongt why are you worried about heat on a 25GT anyway more just for the looks and weight reduction, right ? ....

because we all know the NON turbo 34s have SOO much heat I'm just saying :)

It fits really well after I put in some rubber bits to make it sit flat the whole way, you can see it what i mean in the above pic's ^^ (before)

As for gaps its a really good fitting bonnet and I'm happy with it . I'll take some more pics to show you's all . for now enjoy some more photos :-)

things i did to make it fit well .

(1) front strut bar was taking off

(2) bonnet latch was moved up as it was not locking in

(3) lil rubber bits to make it sit flat

    • My theory would revolve around the ~4000rpm point being peak torque territory on an RB, where you're supposed to be looking at max efficiency of the head, etc, and....just not having it because the skinny ports are doing something to f**k it up. I'll admit, it's a loose theory.
    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
