hey all,

was wondering if anyone gave a go or had a look to see if grinding the lip off of the gtst bonnet would be enough to be fitted onto a gtr front r32.

reason being, my 32 has a gtr front, my bonnet is bent, and some of the prices for another gtr bonnet are quite high. i have all the latches and grill and lip cover (to cover up the grinded bit), but is there much modifying to get the latch hook onto the gtst bonnet?

with my current bent bonnet, i think its quite heavy to be made outta aluminium, and under the lip cover looks a bit dodgy as if it actually is a gtst ground off, but the screws are so rusted i cant unscrew them to have a look.

hope someone can tell me! :huh:

(done a search, mostly came up with straight 'can it fit' and answers of 'no different latch' :D)

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
