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

Emails have been sent out.

Had numerous offers but still for sale.

Can do package for $1000

I will take it for $1000 to Melb.

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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
