    I just found out

    So I was doing my weekly search through eBay and came across a hood from a R32 GTR for sale. Now this guy says that the hood is an aluminum hood. Now I know a decent amount about my car but was never aware that any of the models can with an aluminum hood. Does anyone know what years and what models came with said hood ? Greatly appreciate any information.

    as far as the r32 goes the gtr came with an aluminium hood and gts is steel. they also have different latches and will only bolt over with modification to the latch (I believe there is a thread for this)

    If u have a gts and go to open the hood of a gtr for the first time, its like grabbing a box that u think is heavy then find out when u lift it its empty.
    I think the trunk lid is also lighter.

    the stock gtr hood weighs about the same as a A/M carbon hood so it's definately light!
    My car keeps on stealing my money .
