    I have heard the Bonnet is alloy.... ( I think this is true)

    but what it the frame that supports it made of???

    I do know there is NOTHING magnetic anywhere on my bonnet.. except the bolts that hold it on....

    Frame is alloy as well, I found this out when trying to weld

    a bracket to it for secondary bonnet tie down :)

    hehehee It almost feels like carbon fibre when I tap it... knew it was not steel as the "woops I dropped another bolt" magnet would not stick hehehee

    Bonnets are aluminium alloy, hence no magnets work on it.

    Where exactly does it say that ????

    After looking at both the J-Spec & Aus-Spec versions of FAST the same part No is listed for ALL models.
    There is no mention of materials.
    65100-30P00 07/89-10/98
    F5100-30PMM 10/98 (supercedes all prevoius No's)

    I was always under the impression that the NA was steel too.

    last time I said this I got shot down too:)
    There is a guy at my work who has a NA and it is definately steel, the bonnet is so heavy compared to mine. His may have been replaced after an accident though.

    Let me elaborate...

    I did not want to get in to a Huge thing here.... it was just that my Mechanic said my Bonnet was Fibreglass... I said NO it is ALLOY...... tapping it and feeling the frame all FEELS like Fibreglass....

    Proved it is NOT fibreglass today cause I have found a very small DENT.... bugger ... alloy it is.... also found a NISSAN stamp in the underside of the bonnet on Strut brace..passenger side near front of bonnet....
