Selling my carbonfibre bonnet for R32 GTR but i have had it fitted to my GTSt.

I managed to fit mine by altering the standard lock mechanism (it's actually just the angle of the lock mechanism that needs to be changed).

I have had the bonnet for 3months and i love it so much!! But it's an added extra i dont need as a struggling student.

This style of carbonfibre bonnet is the rarer of the two styles going around. As you can see from the pic it's not the UAS/Carmate style one. It also comes with the aero lip which i believe was added to deflect air into the radiator. These lips alone cost ~$300 in carbonfibre as this one is.

It was originally ordered from Works Auto in W.A. for $1250. As far as ive been told they no longer stock them.

CONDITION: Great overall condition. It does have a few scuff marks - ive never tried polishing them but there are only 2 small scratches and a small chip on the side of the bonnet that isnt very visible when the bonnet is on and closed. The overall effect is awesome.

Under the bonnet it has been modified to fit intercooler piping and BOV without touching. It is extremely light (you could pick it up off the ground with one hand).

I also have the matching GTR grille to go with it. Grille is like new. No marks at all.

PRICE:

Grille: $200

Bonnet: $900

PM me if interested. I can post to anywhere in OZ - i have a secure, protected box with padding.

As for the gap i can assure you the bonnet sits perfectly flat!!!

That photo was taken the minute the bonnet was fitted..... you have to make adjustments as with any bonnet. I only uploaded that pic cos quality wise it's the best ive got :D

WRONG!!!!!

If you'd read my first post you wouldve noticed that i said "This style of carbonfibre bonnet is the rarer of the two styles going around. As you can see from the pic it's not the UAS/Carmate style one."

We all make mistakes, but get your facts right before you try and sabotage a someone else's sale.

Let me repeat. This bonnet is rare. It is NOT available in Sydney or anywhere else in Australia as far as i know.

Are these legal in VIC?

Insurable?

If so might be interested

Not sure if they are or aren't. All i know is that i have been pulled over by police for rbt etc and they have never looked twice at it.

I highly doubt you'd have any dramas. Even if you did you just put back on your old one, clear up the defect and stick back on the c/f bonnet.

My car is insured and they know about it and dont seem to care.....

Im not offering any guarantees as obviously im in Sydney

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
