Will keep the stock bonnet prop in situ (JIC) but nice to use the struts and not have it in the way.

Would hate to have the aluminium bonnet flexed over or slammed shut due to sudden gusty winds.

Do you think that these would be suitable for a carbon bonnet?

I would hate to keep flexing the bonnet due to the force applied by the dampeners while opening and closing.

I'm thinking similar thoughts to R32GOJIRA.

I own a 33 GTST, but am wanting to put a GTR bonnet on it.

Will the weight difference between steel and aluminium bonnet be an issue?

I'd also have to swap the bonnet hinges from GTST to GTR too, will these brackets fit either?

The 32 dampers are weak enough for carbon bonnets.

The 33 dampers are a bit firmer so would need to do a test on them to be sure it would be ok for carbon.

Im sure if you got them your cf bonnet and they were too strong you could sell them onto someone else...

Im going to them to my fg bonnet and see how they go

Installed on my ER34 today, pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82729085@N08/sets/72157634632200282/

Very happy with them, bolted up in a couple of minutes. The struts feel quite strong, don't think the bonnet would fall down even in a strong breeze.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
