I have recently purchased a GTR bonnet, grille, and hinges for my R32GTST. I found that once fitted the grille does not have anywhere to clip into... I have been told my some people that the i need to full latch assembly, and by some people that the grille clips onto the headlights.

Can someone please tell me (or preferably post a pic) of how the grille is actually fitted to the car.

There are 5 clips that hold the grill in place. 2 on each side that fit into holes that are molded as part of the headlamp assemblies, and a single central one that clips into a bracket that is part of the bonnet latch support. You could get away without the middle one but not the other 4. So, yes, you need GTR headlight assemblies or rig some type of substitute bracket.

Thanks chief.... some pics would be appreciated.

It would be really cool to get some nice looking GTR headlights - does anybody have some pics or know where to get some headlights for a good price?

Also, are there different types or styles of headlights... Would like to get some really sexy ones if I am swapping.... for a reasonable price!

my car has the set up your after. was done by previous owner so not sure if latch is gtr one ot gts-t.

the way the grille is attached on mine is good old zip ties, holds tight and hasnt fallen off at very high speeds so im sure it will suffice (and its cheap).

some pics to help you

      The stock one will outperform any aftermarket standard position exhaust manifold. If you don't believe me, do a back to back test (same turbo, same boost, same timing) and you'll be super surprised.

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
