Average price for a R34 GTR carbon bonnet approx $900-1200

This new one sold for less than $470 on ebay. Was old stock and shop wanted to get rid of it.

It was going to cost me approx $150 freight plus the chance of it getting damaged, so I did not bid too high on it

Plus I already have a genuine alloy 34GTR bonnet on my Stagea

I understand your concerns with getting a C/F bonnet transported, the beauty with this sale was that i was able to see that it was A1 before i handed over my hard earned. Why are'nt you happy with your alloy bonnet, is it damaged or are you trying to save some more weight?

I think you would find a alloy bonnet to be very similar in weight to a f/g carbon bonnet compared to a dry carbon bonnet

I was just after a different look.

  • 3 months later...

Finally finished and sooooo happy.

I received the top mole about 2 months ago but after a quick trial fit and some painting i discovered that i had been sent the wrong one (are very similar).

Had been sent the mole to suit the Aero front bar instead of the mole to suit the standard front bar.

Thankfully Powerplay realy stepped up to the plate and offered me an Aero bar at a very good price (thanks Jo).

I also purchased the East bear lower lip and had the whole lot painted and fitted by David and Sean at Speedway fibreglass in Montrose Vic who's work is

second to none ( also did my skirts and rear pods). Very happy with the finished look as i believe it looks pretty unique and stands out from the crowd.

The only problem i have now is the seal between the bonnet and the mole, i purchased an original GTR seal but have found that its not realy suitable

with the aftermaket mole. The solution that i found was at Clark rubber, a section of rubber shaped like a "p" which i can hopefully glue in place.

The big question is, what does everyone think of my completed GTR bonnet conversion?

Ahh, looks tight man,

I considered doin a conversion at some point during the course of my 34's life, since i only just bought it its still a fair way off if at all

But that looks real nice, i like the front bar too, good choice, well done

    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
