hi people

i have 3 cf bonnets for GTR33 up for grap.

They will fit GTR33 and GTS33 only if you change the hinges on left and right side and the latch to those of GTR33.

The only problem is that there are some damages on each bonnet.

They are MINOR damaged on various degree.

Most can be easily repaired doing your own DIY kit. You need fiberglass repair kit to do so.

I usually sell the bonnet for $850 but much more on other shops. usually may cost $1000 and up.

I am selling them below cost price!

- R33 BONNET NO. 1 = $400 (47% off my price)

CONDITION RATING 7/10. Minor damaged. can be fixed easily. some marks cant be removed but not visible unless on close up view.

- R33 BONNET NO. 2 = $600 (30% off my price) (SOLD)

CONDITION RATING 9/10. Very very minor damaged. can be fixed up easily

- R33 BONNET NO.3 = $550 (35% off my price) (SOLD)

Link to Bonnet 3 pics

CONDITION RATING 8.5/10. Very minor damaged. can be fixed up easily

I DONT MIND SHIPPING INTERSTATE, I WILL PACK AS WELL AS I CAN BUT I CANT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD ANYTHING HAPPEN.

MY COURIER COMPANY CHARGES $95.00 PER DELIVERY. COST MORE TO TASSIE AND PERTH.

IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN DELIVERY COMPANY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE YOUR OWN.

I am very interested in purchasing a bonnet however a few questions first:

1. How did they all get broken? Isn't carbon fibre supposed to be very durable and hard to tear/break?

2. Does this breakage compromise the stability of the bonnet?

3. Why do you need to purchase gtr hinges for the bonnet fit onto a gtst? Isn't the only difference between a gtst and gtr front-end the pumped goards, rb26dett and ancillaries for 4wd?

4. Why are ALL of them broken in similar positions?

5. What is the brown marks on the first bonnet, are they scratches? Why are they brown?

6. It appears that on some of the pictures you have used a blurring tool with a photo editing program (i.e photoshop), is this correct? If so, what are you blurring?

7. The bonnets all appear to be exactly the same style, why the dramatic changes in price for very similar damage?

8. where are you located, and how do you propose delivery?

Sorry if the questions seem silly, I am unexperienced with CF. If you could let me know the answers to the questions that would be great!.

please refer to this thread for reference

the bonnets were damaged in transit. mishandled. i tried to get claimed but failed. i was holding them as proof but my claims was denied.

anything is breakable even your skyline! i guess it meet a lof impact when handled. trust me its not pretty when it arrived.

2. Does this breakage compromise the stability of the bonnet?

with proper repairing using firberglass repair kit and reinforcing the ribbing with fiberglass you should be able to get you full 100% stability back. it is a simple job and simple tool to use. many people in bodykit industry should tell you is a an easy job to repair especially bonnet 2 and bonnet 3.

3. Why do you need to purchase gtr hinges for the bonnet fit onto a gtst? Isn't the only difference between a gtst and gtr front-end the pumped goards, rb26dett and ancillaries for 4wd?

you are incorrect im afraid. we tried to fit on a gtst before and the hinges and latches does not match. the bonnet are of the same shape and fit perfectly but the position of the holes on each side of the hinges are different and so is the latch. other than that is perfect alignment. however i must say that this is just a theory at the moment. never been proven before. my comment is based on one time effort to put on in a gtst

4. Why are ALL of them broken in similar positions?

becos they are mishandled in similar fashion hence it is damaged in similar way.

5. What is the brown marks on the first bonnet, are they scratches? Why are they brown?

there is no scratches on any of the bonnets. one bonnet no 1, they are like some defect due to mishandling. the underlying clear coat has given way. it is not a bad thing. it is visible on some angle but if you on the car horizontally, you cant even see it unless you are at some near distance. i have decided to take this pictures to show all the defects and not want to hide anything.

6. It appears that on some of the pictures you have used a blurring tool with a photo editing program (i.e photoshop), is this correct? If so, what are you blurring?

i take the photo as it is. no editing what so ever. i have been an honest seller everywhere i go.

this is the screen-shot of the traders rating. i am sure you will find me to be an honest seller. :P

7. The bonnets all appear to be exactly the same style, why the dramatic changes in price for very similar damage?

bonnet 1, has the most damaged among the 3. cracks and some clear coat issue which is not visible when you put it on.

bonnet 2 has very minor damage, slight hairline crack1

bonnet 3 has minor damage, 2 minimal crack as shown in the pics

8. where are you located, and how do you propose delivery?

im in sydney. i prefer if people can pick up in sydney. if interstate, i am happy to deliver it at extra $95.00. i cant afford to foot for the fee as i am already losing money for them. howver, i prefer that you arrange your own transport company and i will be more than happy to corporate with you.

Sorry if the questions seem silly, I am unexperienced with CF. If you could let me know the answers to the questions that would be great!.

No worries! all question answered! :)

The breaks are in the FRP (fibreglass) structure, not the carbon fibre top layer.

Edit: Doh. That will teach me for not refreshing a thread between reading and posting.

if i got them could u hook me up wit the parts nessarsary to put them on my R33 GTS-T???

if yes consider bonnet 2 SOLD!!!

you need to source the hinges and the latch on your own unfortunately. if you live in liverpool. there are a lot of places that you can ask around. dont think is an issue here. :wave:

so its doesnt fit a r33 gtst???? and if so is it a s1 or s2

interested in bonnet 1

it will fit if u change the latch and hinges using a GTR33 one.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
