R34 Carbonfiber Bonnet

[SoulScene]

Hey guys,

Anyone know anywhere to get a decent carbonfiber bonnet for an R34 GTT?

I've had a JustJap one, the bonnet latch didn't reach even after adjusting the catch/release clip by making the bolt holes bigger and raising it up. Welded a longer latch on, still eventually blew up smashed my windshield and ofcourse destoryed the bonnet. Shit happens Also once fitted you needed to remove the stock strutbar as the vents sit lower and bow the bonnet.

But I'm after a new one since my stock bonnet has a couple of holes in it from the previous owner. I've found a couple on Ebay, none of sellers have got back to me and I'm scared of fitment buying one off Ebay.

So any websites, or private sellers on here that people have used with no problems would be a great help.

Cheers, Zac

Nismo?

Nismo?

Buy one direct from Nismo? For a R34 GTT. Surely they don't even do items for them, and surely all there body items are r35 based.

Not sure if the GT-R and GT-t bonnets are interchangeable. You might be able to find second hand on Yahoo, or perhaps you can buy them new. Try contacting Jesse Streeter.

thats where I got the bonnet in my avatar. perfect fit, only had to modify the windscreen washer holes.

^ that actually looks pretty good, has what looks like the support structure on the underside.

There should be a few manufacturers still making ER34 bonnets (East Bear, maybe Top Secret?) or find someone who has them in stock. Sorry man I'm not much of a help, just trying to point you in the right directions.

Search for "jesse streeter" using your web search engine of choice.

GTR and GTT bonnets arent a direct swap. Need to swap over hood latch and hinge iirc. Plus you'd still have a gap between the headlights. For all that effort, might as well for a GTR front conversion.

Otherwise, GTR style hoods made for GTT is the way to go.

Did it fit without hitting the strutbar? That's the style I bought from JustJap and thats one of the problems I had with it

Thank you everyone for your help also!

+1 for seibon bonnet.

I have a 34 gtr seibon bonnet and the quality and fitment are great, as well as being lightweight.

Yeah I have a set off bonnet pins for justjap already, don't want to risk it again

Thanks for all your help guys, awaiting a reply from seibon now for postage quotes

[darylmarklim]

curious, do the seibon ones have plugs to cover up the vents in case it rains?

[TM7GTR]

what do you mean by plugs? They have a tray that's mounted under the vents to prevent water running onto rocker covers.

I've never seen plugs for them, Although I like the idea! I like taking the try off but it was always a pain when it rained because you have to screw it back on

Just sticking plugs in the vents with the bonnet closed would be decent
