75coupe Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yep put me down for a set in black for a s2 r33.... I can finally get rid of the bonnet stand which always annoys me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428490-bonnet-dampers-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-6925474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYTSKY Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 No clearance issues. The 32 sets are available. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428490-bonnet-dampers-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-6925483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinista32 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Will keep the stock bonnet prop in situ (JIC) but nice to use the struts and not have it in the way. Would hate to have the aluminium bonnet flexed over or slammed shut due to sudden gusty winds.

R32GOJIRA Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Do you think that these would be suitable for a carbon bonnet? I would hate to keep flexing the bonnet due to the force applied by the dampeners while opening and closing.

JadGTST33 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'm thinking similar thoughts to R32GOJIRA. I own a 33 GTST, but am wanting to put a GTR bonnet on it. Will the weight difference between steel and aluminium bonnet be an issue? I'd also have to swap the bonnet hinges from GTST to GTR too, will these brackets fit either?

NYTSKY Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 The 32 dampers are weak enough for carbon bonnets. The 33 dampers are a bit firmer so would need to do a test on them to be sure it would be ok for carbon.

75coupe Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Im sure if you got them your cf bonnet and they were too strong you could sell them onto someone else... Im going to them to my fg bonnet and see how they go Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428490-bonnet-dampers-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-6925878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYTSKY Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 If you are not heavy handed I'm sure it will be fine.

levinboy Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 So to confirm these are suitable for R33GTR?? If yes put me down for a set of the carbon ones cause race car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428490-bonnet-dampers-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-6926293 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DekA Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Installed on my ER34 today, pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82729085@N08/sets/72157634632200282/ Very happy with them, bolted up in a couple of minutes. The struts feel quite strong, don't think the bonnet would fall down even in a strong breeze.

Dahtone Racing Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Put me down for R32 ones in carbon as long as they actually fit, I've had a set before that didn't fit at all. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/428490-bonnet-dampers-group-buy/page/2/#findComment-6927822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
