I require a stock '03 style silver bonnet for a 350gt coupe, in order to pass RWC.


I'm considering selling the carbon fibre bonnet, which looks like this:

I don't have a spare bonnet to put on my car, so at this stage I'm only considering offers that include a silver bonnet that will fit my car.

PM me if you're interested. The bonnet is located in Melbourne.

PM sent.

I've received a few EOI, but haven't had time to organise inspections. I will have time this weekend. First in with quality KYO silver CPV35 bonnet + cash offer can have the CF bonnet.

Best to be quick, before I become attached to the CF look. ;-)

Previous buyer decided that the CF style wasn't for them.

The bonnet is available again for swap + cash, while I wait to hear back from other interested parties.

Attached are photos of the actual bonnet on my car. :-) I really like the look, but need a stock bonnet for RWC.

Note: while I was cleaning the car I remembered that there is a slight crack in the clear coat of the bonnet. It's only noticeable up close. I just purchased the car, so I had it assessed and there is no damage to the CF -it's purely cosmetic to the outer gel. It's meant to be an easy fix with some resin and wet sanding, then an application of clear coat. I'd recommend doing this for any CF bonnet to keep it in immaculate condition.

PM if you have a silver CPV35 bonnet available. If I don't sell/trade by the end of the week I'll likely just purchase an OEM bumper and keep this.

I know the thread is while ago, but give it a shot to see if it's still available? Mine is a stock silver one you're looking for, so we can work out a swap and cash.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      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/
