Hi all,

Been looking for some small items to make the GTT a little bit different for a while now - there's not much out there without getting stuff full custom made etc etc. Now as we all know; going down the "custom" path is pretty pricey - not an avenue I particularly wanted to invest in, especially if it was just for aesthetics.

Anyhow I stumbled accross the following:

1) Carbon Fibre Door Sills made to original spec (including the SKYLINE word)

2) R34 GTT Bonnet Lip (see photo below)

Now you may all say that there is nothing special about the bonnet lip - you'd be correct. But I am yet to be able to find a place where I can get one from in Australia. Furthermore; paying close to $300 for one from Japan is outrageous!

Anyways; both items now in my grubby paws and waiting for spraying/fitment. Meanwhile; here are some photos :P

The door sills were a custom item yes :mage: They were about $250 + delivery to Australia.

I actually bought 2 sets instead of one due to some miscommunication with the guy (thought I paid $500 for them at first :P). There's a spare set lying around but I think it's been sold; got a lot of interest from GTT guys once I put them up in the F/S thread.

Yeah there seems to be a lot of division about the lip... I've always wanted one; just was never able to get my hands on one until now.

The price of the sills is I think a bargain considering the lengths of the sills (two of them) and the quality of the finish and CF.

I was looking into doing metal ones before, but the tooling cost to get them done just wasn't viable - I would've needed to move about 400 sets before the tooling cost was even recovered.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
