GTR R32 bonnet - weight?

[Russco]

Anyone know how much a GTR aluminium bonnet weighs? Carbon is only 6kgs but very expensive ($1400 unpainted).

I am not positive, but I'd say around 8.5 - 9.5kg, not positve, but it doesn't weigh much

at a guess, i'd say its half the weight of the GTS bonnet, which I reckon would be close to 18kg

i have not long replaced mine with a GTR bonnet, its heaps lighter, mine cost me $500 for the bonnet and grill and 300 to paint

Carbon looks cool, but stands out too much for my liking. You could always get a fibreglass bonnet and have it painted, i have seen a few and they look good provided they are preparred correctly

i had a carbon bonnet for my 33, and i think your figures are pretty spot on chris. my std bonnet was just under 20kg and the carbon just under 10kg.

[Chris32]

thought that would be a pretty close guestimate!

Are the carbon/fibreglass bonnets available for around a grand any good? I have picked up a few, and they don't seem a great deal lighter than the GTR bonnet

A proper carbon bonnet would be the go, but they would cost a heap I reckon

The GTR bonnet is a good alternative if you don't want it to stand out like like a carbon bonnet does. I love the look of a carbon bonnet, but for the defect/cop's look at you factor I'd rather a spray painted fibreglass or GTR bonnet
