Selling my carbonfibre bonnet for R32 GTR but i have had it fitted to my GTSt.

I managed to fit mine by altering the standard lock mechanism (it's actually just the angle of the lock mechanism that needs to be changed).

I have had the bonnet for 3months and i love it so much!! But it's an added extra i dont need as a struggling student.

This style of carbonfibre bonnet is the rarer of the two styles going around. As you can see from the pic it's not the UAS/Carmate style one. It also comes with the aero lip which i believe was added to deflect air into the radiator. These lips alone cost ~$300 in carbonfibre as this one is.

It was originally ordered from Works Auto in W.A. for $1250. As far as ive been told they no longer stock them.

CONDITION: Great overall condition. It does have a few scuff marks - ive never tried polishing them but there are only 2 small scratches and a small chip on the side of the bonnet that isnt very visible when the bonnet is on and closed. The overall effect is awesome.

Under the bonnet it has been modified to fit intercooler piping and BOV without touching. It is extremely light (you could pick it up off the ground with one hand).

I also have the matching GTR grille to go with it. Grille is like new. No marks at all.

PRICE:

Grille: $200

Bonnet: $900

PM me if interested. I can post to anywhere in OZ - i have a secure, protected box with padding.

As for the gap i can assure you the bonnet sits perfectly flat!!!

That photo was taken the minute the bonnet was fitted..... you have to make adjustments as with any bonnet. I only uploaded that pic cos quality wise it's the best ive got :D

Emails have been sent out.

Had numerous offers but still for sale.

Can do package for $1000

I will take it for $1000 to Melb.

WRONG!!!!!

If you'd read my first post you wouldve noticed that i said "This style of carbonfibre bonnet is the rarer of the two styles going around. As you can see from the pic it's not the UAS/Carmate style one."

We all make mistakes, but get your facts right before you try and sabotage a someone else's sale.

Let me repeat. This bonnet is rare. It is NOT available in Sydney or anywhere else in Australia as far as i know.

Are these legal in VIC?

Insurable?

If so might be interested

Not sure if they are or aren't. All i know is that i have been pulled over by police for rbt etc and they have never looked twice at it.

I highly doubt you'd have any dramas. Even if you did you just put back on your old one, clear up the defect and stick back on the c/f bonnet.

My car is insured and they know about it and dont seem to care.....

Im not offering any guarantees as obviously im in Sydney

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
