I think you're crazy. Unless if you are a metal worker. It would be a hard job...

Just saw one for sale on this forum for 300 with a few scratches and dints. That + paint/repair would have to be cheaper that cut/repair/paint. And you can sell your GTSt bonnet.

You cant read? He cant find one....they are way too expensive anyway, hard to repair too.

Its fairly easy. Got a mate who did this, mark a nice and straight line, cut it good with a grinder, bend the underneath up to the new cut area.

Rivet a piece of metal on the underneath so when u lift up the bonnet u dont rip the top skin off.

Glue a piece of thin rubber over the cut so it looks neat.

Job done...cheaply.

There are some in the for sale section. Wreckers will have them. If it's done cheaply without paint it will look.....cheap...

Also open the door for rust where the paint comes off.

Cool for a drift pig if that's what you're after.

I would be likely to think the "chopped" bonnet will be illegal.

Even down the bottom section there? Is there ribbing on a 32 in that area? I would have thought it was simply some folded metal, just extended more than a GTR bonnet.

I would probably buy a GTR bonnet though in all honesty, you dont want some half-assed GTS-T/GTR mockup that isn't even straight! I'd wait around till you find something you are happy with, unless you 100% need it by a certain date etc..

Good luck

      At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.

      I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎

      I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
