Hey guys, I'm about to bring down an Aeromaster Type 2 bonnet for the R32 from japan, but before I buy one, I wanted to know if anyone's actually seen one on a car, and if they have pics of anything similar (mainly the front piece). Its supposed to give it a slightly R34'ish look... but I've only ever seen one pic of it, and that's from the manufacturer.

So if any of you have seen it or have any other pics, can you please post em up?

here's the pic I've got:

i dont know how the front part will fit. gts and gtr bars have the lil part coming up the headlight.

unless you have to remove it.

lol its specifically designed for the car, im pretty sure it would fit. nice looking bonnet too. havnet got any pics for ya though sorry :unsure:

ya, as thrtytwo said... this front lip comes down in front of that lil extrusion on the bar, so there's no interference. the front of the bonnet is just a few cm back from the face of the front bumper, instead of stepping back a couple of inches to the headlight line (just like an R34 GTR)... which is what I want. Its designed to go on an R32 GTS/GTSt and usable with the standard bonnet release lever. If you put it on a GTR you'll have to make a hole in the mesh to access the release.

First thing on the to do list when I get it is to remove that line in the middle going back from the drop vent... might need to reinforce the opening from underneath though.

I might take a pic of my car in the right position so I can photoshop the bonnet on to see what it looks like.

I was trying to find pics of the very bonnet as well a while back. Spoke to a company who distribute it and they said that pic is the only one they can get hold of. Looks like a really nice bonnet too, but you wonder if it'd still look as good when fitted. Wish the company would release some pics of it fitted.

well made a mockup quickly using a pic of my car... shits me that I can't find a pic of it on a car... I know it'll be rad and look tough, but there's just that tiny bit of uncertainty that comes from not havin an actual pic.

a nice GT style front bar (none of this dorftio lip that looks like bubba shit) with some dense meshing, diffusers underneath and it'll look mean

the front doesn't jut out quite that much, I couldn't quite get the pic of my car in the right angle... might try again later today n see if I can take another pic to play with.

except the grille and the bonnet are moulded together, and the upper lip on the bonnet is smoothed in more.

      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.
