Charles,

I thought i'd do a bit of research here into the bonnet, and I remembered that JDL Tuning make one http://www.jdltuning.com/nissan-skyline-r3...jdl-bonnet.html . I did a quick currency conversion and it worked out to be:

389.00 EUR=528.408 AUDhttp://www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi?Amount=3...2&image.y=8

On the site, they say shipping is € 32.00 aswell, so I was wondering maybe if you contacted them you could organise a possible discount for a group buy? Not interested in one myself, just thought i'd open up another option . They also make what looks like a very nice Z-Tune front kit and now a full conversion kit. Here's the link to their R34 GTT parts http://www.jdltuning.com/nissan/skyline-r34-gtt.html

oh my, what a great price for a gorgeous carbon bonnet

[blah_blah]

Slightly off topic but are you concerned that the ztune front bar may sit a bit low too the ground?

I found this pic on the net and it sits quite low and the car doesn't look that lowered

[Charles89]

@TM7GTR I've just worked out the total amount for their bonnet, which doesn't seem as cheap when you add up everything lol. Bonnet = €389, plus €30 for undercoating (a must), then shipping (it's only €32 if it's in UK) .... with UPS €366. Ends up to be €817.28....... Would be cheap if you are in UK...

@RusH_ Yes, that is an awesome bonnet for that price... especially when they are $1080USD. But the thing is.... I really don't wanna get CF lol, only because I would feel really sad if I have to paint over it haha. So if I could save $100-150 and buy fibreglass, that savings would go towards the respray

@blah_blah That picture is the one I've seen as well, that car is on sale at boostcruising? It just have the z-tune style front bar, without the skirts and pods. Not sure about you, but my car sits similar height as that and has a factory lip. BUT BUT the best thing about JSAI's bar is that the lip/diffuser, is a totally seperate piece, which you can just unbolt whenever you want So if you are scrapping, just take it off, only 5-6 bolts holding onto it. Or, just raise the car slightly

[SS8_Gohan]

charles mate, it's a layer of CF over FG, paint it if you want, really. it's ok

just get a GTR one, get the R guards and buy my front bumper and lip

Can you please find out if your supplier is willing to post to perth? If so, how much they would want?

[mattyneweraimports]

so do you want me to price up the FRP one?

yey or ney?

yey or ney?

please do!

[Charles89]

@SS8_Gohan I just can't find it in me to paint over a nicely resin-ed CF bonnet lol

@R34GTFOUR I'll try and find out for you. Because what happens is, it's only $690 because the supplier is shipping the whole lot down to Vic. So I'll ask whether we can arrange courier before it gets to Vic or after when it's in Vic. Worse comes to Worse, it will be $690 plus courier to you. With E-go, might be like $750 all up.

@mattyneweraimports yes please and maybe you could do a deal for us with a group buy of say... 10?

[Charles89]

I think if mattyneweraimport can't beat the prices that Carmate gave us, I might make a group buy for Carmate's fibreglass bonnet.

I think the bonnets will be about $505ea plus postage $50-80 depending on where you live, can even do pick up.

there are several pics in this thread

no one here has bought one of the bonnets yet so i dont think anyone can confirm how good the fitment is at this stage

[Charles89]

Shall we take a stab at the Carmate ones? xD

If they have the best price then i think so, fingers crossed fitment is good

[Charles89]

I'm gonna call up again on Monday to get the exact prices for the bonnets and the exact postage, so I can post up a group buy.

And for those who owns a GTR or GTT wanting GTR conversion, I think the dude at Carmate said that if we can get 10 people buying bonnet, they can choose from a range of styles and apply the 10% off.
