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

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
