Ill let the pictures do the explaining. I will tell you that I have a r32 4 door gts, when I bought it it had a gtr bonnet already on it. Ive been told that the existing part for the latch usually gets spaced out, it appears as though it hasnt... Any help? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=162289 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=162288 |

Are you sure it had a gtr bonnet and not a modified gtst one? I ask because you still have a gtst latch (which has been modded to clear the grill) as well as a gtst latch support (for lack of a better term) from what i can see. |

That would make sense, I did confirm with the previous owner if it was infact a real gtr bonnet and he said it was. |

This is my modified bracket with GTR latch to suit a gtr bonnet. Pretty crappy photo (and welds) but you get the idea. The stock gtst bracket sits the latch out another inch or so |

yeah whyte I sold the bonnet about a week ago. I ended up making it work with what I have, the primed part we took about 20mm from the sides and welded it back together. Just need some black paint... Fits good now. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=162521 |

yep, you definitely had a modded gtst bonnet as your latch support now matches mine (but looks heaps better) which suits a gtr bonnet |

the only difference between the latches is the lever. You need the gtr one (or mod the gtst one) to clear the grill. Otherwise it will fit and work fine. |
