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

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
