Ive searched but nthing useful came up.

Ive decided to go gtr bonnet instead of a gtr front bar... I know this converstion invovles a couple of mucking around.

What else is needed if i already have the bonnet, how hard is it and etc..

Oh and what would a good condition GTR bonnet worth. Can i use exsisting hinges and stuffs?

Thanks for the help

Its the bonnet catch assembly. So the lock and the and the (please excuse me, i dont know the correct name for it) but its what th lock ttatches too as wel. Have a look, you'll know what I mean by "L" shaped reo. Its the the thing the horns and lock attatch too.

Yes. Hinges are the same.

GTR bonnets usually for for arround $400 but shop around and you can find cheaper.

The bonnet lock and reo are around $75.. again.. shop arround.

They are very light bonnets. I think I weighed both GTST and GTR and off the top of my head its about 10kg and a heap less understeer

yea i know that L shape thing,

this place i found is selling the bonnet, latch and L thing for like $650. that a good price?

ive looked around and i cant find anything thats close to $400 unless its damaged in some sort.

might consider a FRP or carbonF. one but they seems to be hard to get locally

by fitting a gtr bonnet to a gtst, can we use a gtr air diversion plate on the gtst?

They should fit..

L.B. - You will need

A GTR Bonnet

A GTR Latch with Lock ( i have an extra one for sale if your notable to find 1 )

A GTR Grill ( i have an extra one for sale if your notable to find 1 )

my set up cost me round $850 fitted without paint, but you get a way lighter bonnet.

Hope this help

8kg's I believe, so light I'm afraid mine is going to blow away when it gets windy and I've got the bonnet up :D

P.S. I'm not running a GTR latch..

Edited by bubba

GTS4WD - Did you actually notice less understear or you just joking round lol....?

Im not running a GTR latch with mine either. GTS latch and hinges and lock. I just unbolted the bottom screw on the lock and pushed it backwards a bit and downwards. Heaps cheaper and easier and looks just as good if you do it well. And yeah i agree fit a grill too!

    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
