Requires modifying the brackets a little bit, that's all. I actually had a brand new set that I sold a few months back. They looked very sexy :)

Pretty flat out with all the changes in the shop but yeah going good.

No changes to middle grille at all? or wiring?

if it's that simple, I will definitely look into it. As much as I like my current headlights, proper Xenon S3's would work better.

Much like a certain Carbon spoiler blade sitting on a bed in townsville :ph34r:

also, good to hear about the shop being busy. hopefully things change and the rep actually gets picked up :)

Hey Phil

was searching through some old threads and saw you involved in a bonnet strut group buy. And then I thought I'd seen a photo of your car with bonnet struts

Was I paying attention or dreaming lol?

I want to get some for mine. Have a rough idea of what I need to do, just wondering if you found a good car to steal the struts off or if you bought a kit etc.

I can use the lower supports from a VN-VS commodore as far as I know, but Im gonna need 4 of these. If they dont fit on the bonnet mounts then I can do some fab work to make them fit

but anyway, just wanted to see if you had any pointers. And if you in fact dont have any on your car, then sorry for wasting your time with this post :P

Nah I don't have any. I was looking into it however the only way that I could see to do it was to drill new holes into the gaurds to mount the struts, which is something I didn't want to do.

Alright sweet. Yeah hit me up when u get the shockproof in. Are you getting light?

Yeah lightweight.

Can't edit my post for some reason....... so I'll make a new one.

went to a mates today who bought a bonnet strut kit for his 180sx, Link:

Ebay: 240sx Strut Kit

Looks like it'll fit a Skyline pretty easy, I've ordered one so will let you know if it does, if your still interested in bonnet struts

See how you go. I measured one up on the factory hole in the guard and it just wasn't going to work in that location, would have fouled on the bonnet as it was closing.

That's why they only make the Tein/Top Secret kits to suit a GTR bonnet - different hole location. Also due to our bonnets being so heavy I also think the factory bolt hole location wouldn't give enough strength to hold our bonnet up.

But let me know what you find.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
