After buying 3 lots of bonnet struts.. I seem to have bought 3 that only had a few weeks left in them.. How good is that!? haha.

Am after another set for regency, as they defected me for that, even though I got passed last time without it fine. :S

So lets get it bloody dealt with once and for all, if anyone knows where to get them regassed that would help too, I'm sure I saw something on it here somewhere, but I cant find it. :ninja:

Thanks

Adam.

Note: Just realised I didnt post it in classifieds. :P

The fully JDM ones I had (Nissan genuine), were picked up last night man, $20, blown :ninja: BUT, I think Jason (Dorigecko) is going to regass them and flog them off with an extra digit on the end....or something.

Cant help you with getting them regassed in SA though, YellowPages man.

I bought brand new Monroe's

Part #: ML4731

Cost me just under $100, but it was easy as piss to install and they work awesome, lift the bonnet a few inches and it lifts itself the rest of the way.

A32 is generally unrelated to A31 in most ways - chassis design has some similarities and same body characteristics, but A31 was the only "true" Cefiro. I thought it'd still be closer to S13 / R32.

See if you can find a compatibility chart for Monroe and see what it matches in other brands?

I'll have a look after work today, and try and find some online Aussie stores that sell internationally for ya.

i can get them here in the us. It seems that they were around $25usd each brand new. It does seem silly to ship them to you guys, but i can pick them up off the shelf at the local parts store. Open and closed length are identical to the OE nissan ones. Let me know if anyone is interested.

While the Aussie dollar is strong on the USD, and tipped to actually be worth (apparently), it wouldnt be such a dumb idea. I've shipped stuff to the US and had stuff from US shipped to me - shipping prices really arent that expensive.

Although I would recommend getting air freight, its a bit extra but it gets tracking, and it takes 10 days not 3+ months - definately worth it.

What size are they? (OR do you have a US part number?) I'm sure I can find some local, but I don't know what size. And I don't feel like doing the buy/return cycle to find some that fit.

Have you shipped big stuff? Like... motors? I really want to build an RB30. =)

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
