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.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
