DSTROY Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) The only bits you need are the bonnet, bonnet latch and the latch support panel. My car already had GTR headlights so my grill just clipped on.

RBLUV Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 no that is the latch, the latch support is the thing the latch is attached to. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/304527-r32-gtst-with-gtr-bonnet/#findComment-5042726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert_ Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 you mean the hinge thing that hinges the bonnet? from my knowledge. you need the gtr bonnet + gtr bonnet hinges. i think by latch he means the hinges any way.

THENIG Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 oh.. i thought the gtr bonnets sit abit further up than the gtst's? No its a perfect straight swap with the hinges. but you will need the folded metal upright that bolts i think from the radiator support rail to the bottom of the radiator. If you don't know what i'm talking about then pop your bonnet and it is the thing that the bonnet latch & horns bolt to. You just remove everything from it and bolt it up to the gtr one. You may need to undo the plastic splash tray under the car (if it still has one) to obtain easier access to the lower bolt. You may need to mount the horns facing the other way and bend the latch down in a vice or something to clear the gtr grill. Well i did anyway. If you can't find a gtr bonnet that comes with the upright then haggle on price because its not worth as much on the market IMO.

Marlin Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Yeah the 32 swaps fine. The 33 however is a pain needing many 33 gtr bits to work. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/304527-r32-gtst-with-gtr-bonnet/#findComment-5057706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
