I had a small prang today....not happy :bs!:

Anyway, my bonnet suffered most of the brunt of accident. Its golt a slight fold halfway in it, and the front part is crumpled.

I need either :

a) a cheap r32 Gtst bonnet (preferably in black)

B) a fibreglass Gtst or GTR bonnet.

c) a GTR bonnet.

If i go for the GTR style i obviously need the latch / front grille etc....

So, if anyone knows someone with any of the above, please send me a pm or email.

:P

yer, just hoping someone in SA had upgraded to a cf/aftermarket one, and has their old one lying around i could grab....

Good news is that their isnt any damage to the radiator support. Just the passenger side light pushed in a little...only cosmetic damage.

GTR bonnet goes on same as GTS, you'll need the catch of a GTR for it to fit though, other than that it all bolts up no probs

Mine is in next week for the fuel pump and tuning, hopefully back up to 200-210rwkw

My grill had two of the original clips on there, the other two are cable ties, as Clint says, your lights should have two tabs on each side to attach the grill to, it fits no probs

Latch is a hard one, but you need the latch as well as the support (the bracket from the radiator support that the latch bolts to) Most people end up going with bonnet pins, as these parts are very hard to find. Unley Nissan may be able to source new parts?

I was very lucky with mine, as it was from a un-damaged front cut, so everything was nice and straight.

Maybe try calling a few of the well known wreckers interstate? I will take a few pics of mine if you want, perhaps you could modify the original parts?

If the gtr bonnet falls thru then let me know, i have the one with blistered paint that you are welcome to. Just pay postage. Will need to get it painted of course...my new cf bonnet will be arriving soon i hope, dependign on how it looks i might be wantign to sell it just for a GTR alloy bonnet as im going to get it colour coded.

And Chris, im pumped car is at mechanics now getitng tuned with the way smaller 8cm housing:) Im thinking im going to have a mid range monster on my hands:)

Different dynos and different tuner, and we will be looking to see how suspect the 3" cat is, so results wont really be comparable. But i have high hopes that this tune will be on the money:)

I was winding 12 degrees extra ignition into the whole map, car had way more off boost response and boosted way harder as well, and not a hint of detonation or a knock level above low 30s (same as before)

So the car appeared to be making the laggy 222rwkws at 16psi with no effort at all,nice and safe. I fugure safe doesnt get you anywhere in this world, sure as sh1t has done nothing for me the last 12 months so "better to burn out...then to fade away":)

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
