im glad ur so anal lol because there is a magority of ppl who feel the same. here are some facts mine hav been on my vehicle for 8 months so far with constant bonnet opening.

also we actually ran over these brackets and were not able to bent them, so ur bonnet wont do it eather.

we used the toughest stainless steel we could source.

so never fear this shit is superman. lol

also for concerns of being legit i hav sourced bk customs a.b.n it is 13 437 145 176

and one more thing its good to get interests in this kits durability because u might not buy the first batch but others will, then they can tell the rest if they are good or not.

so in all honesty u can chose to trust in this product or not but eventually there will be ppl who are goin to purchase them and find out for them selves. then they can comment on the durabilty, craftsmanship and value. and i am very happy with mine and this is the reason why i hav started this group buy.

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to crap on this idea. I want one ! I just want to make sure it's a fit & forget set-up :bunny:

I accept the fact that the brackets are strong enough to not bend, but as per my first sentence, I'm more concerned about the design of the mounting brackets and the possibility of them moving around over time causing wear to the paint / metal. I'll see if I can explain what I mean.

In the pics you have posted up, it looks like the strut attatchment point would create a load that would cause the mounting brackets to turn ( which it looks like this has happened in the pics ? ). This might not be the case and if not, I'm interested in grabbing a kit.

But if my concerns are justified, I would suggest a different style of mounting bracket that somehow braces itself so it can't be turned with the repeated opening & closing of the bonnet. Does that make sense ?

Anyway, I'll be watching this thread for updates & you can consider me a part of the group buy pending results from the "guinea pig " :banana:

well uv lookd hard at those pics. heheh ye me and bk customs worked on this problem many hours. the brackets on the pics are not the one in the kit. the ones in the kit can not move due to them being mounted to the whole hindge and the bottom brackets are better design then the ones in the pic.

the pic has the original phase 1 kit we made weve been through bout 4 until we got it right.

it will all make sence to u wen ginuea pig get the kit and comments on them.

i just saw the price of these kits. wow, that's a lot. i reakon i could easily make kits for about $150 using good quality struts

wow $150 thats a good price but what material would you use and what kind of welds on the brackets, also what brand would the struts be.

well this kit has stainless steel brackets which are powder coated and the gas struts come with a 1 yr warranty. so if u can come up with a better kit,, shit u should deffinently do ur own thread on struts.

      R33 GTR N1 REO on an r32 ?

      By 32pwwr · Posted

      Evening fam, Pretty much what the title asks, I have looked all over and can’t find a proper answer expect one post from almost a decade ago which is vague. ive seen photos and they look pretty much identical, would an r33 GTR N1 reo work on an r32? reason I ask is they are cheaper to buy… $700 compared to 1k+ for an r32 n1 reo

      Couldn't help myself, had to start putting it together.... It really is a solid bit of kit.  Probably stronger than i would have made it myself to be fair! 🤣🤣 Sweating like a pig after that.  Bloody hot and muggy day today, time for a swim now!

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah was thinking that. I've had the car go lower idle possibly around 650rpm every once in a long time after pouring fuel and would sound quite rough like a misfire, almost like it's shit fuel or something but who knows.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      @Wazmond you are correct, my bad, was not my intent    https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.    I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.    I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.    https://gtrfestival.com.au
