Well each to their own but I personally try to avoid anything GTR for my car......just dont wanna make it look like something its not.

The only GTRish styling ill have is the bonnet, but it's made specifically for the GTT ie no need to change the latch or the hinges..

Speaking of which you will need to get one of these bonnets or a genuine GTR bonnet cause the GTR bonnet is shorter than the GTT one, if you go the genuine GTR one than I think you may need to change the bonnet latch and hinges.

Other than that its front bar, rear bar, front and rear guards and then of course rear diffuser and also the red reflector on the right side of the number plate and the rear wing.

All in all its not worth it if you wanna get genuine parts cause once your done you probably could have afforded the real deal if you traded your car in.

just like shonen and many others id try stay away form the GTR wannabe list.

although i would love some wider guards for my gtt...but i can never find any. im real jelous of u 33 and 32 owners who have such a variety of after market products.

nehoo to answer the 1st posts question.

andru another gay post by you. People choose to go the wider guards for the wider wheels and more turning lock.

Andru, I think its about time u changed ur nick and avatar again :sleep:

R34WPN: Each to their own, I think the R34 fronts are awesome but if you've got money to throw around then yeah by all means go for it! The east bear kit is the way to go.

if someone wants to modify their car that doesnt suit your taste, piss off. im sick of reading things like "omg gtr copy wannabe bla bla bla im a big gay wanker".

gtr's look hot with the wider guards, so why cant gtt's? putting guards on is one thing, putting hte badging on is another.

either give them the information they need, or go home.

for an actual reply, the front guards will probably swap over.

to fit genuine rear guards you'll need to chop off your old ones, and weld on the new ones. but you could get fibreglass guards that are an ad on to your existing ones. then you'll need to flare your guards at the wheel arch a bit to make it look all in proportion as well as get more clearance.

cheers.

i think anDru's input is the best, probably best going for the east bear kit from powerplay however as he said it is rather expensive

in terms of what ive read about this in the past the actual gtr front bar is wider (due to the wider guards obviously) however can be stretched somewhat and put on, i dont know if the guards will just swap over and fit perfectly, also the bonnets for the gtt and gtr are the same dimensions however the hinges and latches are different, the spoiler wont be a problem but not sure about genuine gtr side skirts or rear bar, if your serious about it might just be best to go for the east bear ones

there was a guy a while back on here who bought all the genuine gtr body parts from nissan and put them on his yellow gtt so it can be done

good luck and hope you get the results your after without blowing too much coin :P

ive always wondered, if it would work out cheaper to buy a GT-T, put a full East-Bear kit on, then Rb26/Ecu/Computer.. would it work out cheaper then buying GTR?

Meh.. personally i think id prefer buying the GTR.. just a thought though.

im tryin 2 make my r34 gtt look like an r34 gtr in terms of body, includin front bar, rear bar, side skirts, bonnet and even the gaurds, where can i get the gaurds n how can i put them on

Would love to see if it all works out for ya.

here are some photos of the gtt i was talking about, looks pretty hard to tell its a gtt, even has the brembo brakes, not a fan of the badges though

They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery. The GTR indeed is as hot as a mo fo, but maybe just try and use it as a 'guide' when deciding on the final look of your car rather then trying to it make an all out GTR replica such as this yellow one.

It looks nice and all, but having GTR all over the car, including the number plate is false advertising.

Good luck dude. :P

does anyone know what the reasoning is behind why there are no copy versions of the east bear stuff..

i mean vertex gear just went MAD with copies..

GRRRRRRR

nearly 7k for kit that looks like a GTR is soooo much

    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
    • OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
