Hey pred, ive done this to my gtst, i bought the bracket new from nissan, and was able to modify and mount the original latch/catch whatever to work with the grill/bonnet etc.

Its the piece the horns mount to and the latch and shit. I dont think it was that expensive. trade helps

Can you take some photos, or write up a how to for me? Seems to be a simple job, but i need to see how its done so i can do mine.....

I did it earlier today.. no new latch required..

basically it involves just unscrewing all the bolts and moving things around a bit..

For the main bracket the latch attaches to (it bolts to radiator support with 2x bolts).. you will need some spacers/washers behind and before where it screws into the support.. to pull it back a bit.. then some longer bolts. Basically you want to move it back 1cm or so.

Then you will need to push it "up" by undoing the bottom bolt and pushing the whole lot up. Then reattaching the bolt so that the bracket is sitting on the top of that bolt.

You may have to play with a couple of the latch bolts, and it has some movement built in, so get it in the right place then tighten.

There is probably different ways to work it, but mine latches very nicely now.
