hey man,

Lights are the same, as long as you have bugeye with GTR grille connectors or the N1 lights

as for the bonnet catch, you can either use a GTR one like above, or get the GTS-t one, move it to the back of the support :D so drill holes behind hte exist holes and move it about 1-2cm furthur back :P did that when I got my GTR fibreglass bonnet, works very well :)

OK thanks!! Seems pretty easy!

Whats a Bugeye? lol

If i have standard R32 Gts-t lights what would I need to buy to make the bonnet work? :rofl:

You can fit a GTR bonnet with any headlight. The only difference would be that some don't have the brackets to hold the grille on. As long as you modify/change your bonnet latch, a GTR bonnet will fit.

hey man

i got your PM,

I'll get a pic up tonight when i get home

Basically here's a rundown:

remove current latch

you'll see the two bolt holes, get a drill say a 10mm drill piece, drill straight through the bolt holes to the back of the reinforcement bar, then you move the latch about 1" towards the engine and bolt it to the new holes

you use the bolts inside the engine bay in exactly the opposite way of when you have the latch in it's normal position,

I'll post up the technique and what it looks like tonight

Alright :P here goes, sorry about the crappy pics, must bumper, ligths and other things are off at the moment, because i'm stripping it fora respray

Here are the existing bolt holes, with bolts removed, I drilled through to the rear of these

new018.jpg

These are how the bolts sit now, backwards to where they were, with the radiator still fitting in nicely :rofl:

new019.jpg

This shows my radiator, if fits with the stadnard one, but that one is a 240sx(180sx) radiator from the states, 55mm thick >_< triple core, best of all if only cost me $220NZD :( plus a $10 top pipe from a commonwhore from stupidcheap auto, very cheap and good upgrade, fully recommend it

do a search for aluminum 240sx radiator on ebay :( and get one

All i had to do was tap a hole for the water temp sender and the thing never even gets over 1/2 way even without hte fan running sitting at idle for 30 minutes :)

Bottom pipe lines up perfectly, goes into existing radiator holes

what it looks like now, see how the bolts are at the back and the catch is about 1"(2.5cm furthur back)

Testing the latch

Clicks closed :) perfect

sorry for the late reply :S

sits exactly the same as the standard bonnet :P no lower or higher, changing the bolts to the other side doesn't hit the radiator eitehr :D perfectly cheap mod

also if you need a cheap 50mm core radiator, go like the one above, same height, mounting points as the R32, just different top pipe location

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
