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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
