and perhaps an eastbear bonnet mole to fill the "gap" between the gtr bonnet and gtt front bar.

if you want it done right you have to do the full front conversion, a r34 gtr bonnet will only fit on to a r34 gtr front bumper, and that will only fit on to r34 gtr fenders. this is because the the gtr bonnet is shorter than the gtt, and gtr fenders are wider than gtt. you might be better off getting the east bear kit, this is a r34 gtr bodykit made for the r34 gtt so fits perfect. there is loads on this topic on uk forums, and everyone i have talked to has had to do the full front conversion on the gtt. i could be wrong but im sure im not, hope this helps lads cheers marty.

yeh i agree that r34 gtt looks a lil weird, but mine will look nothing like that......for starters i have a R34 GTR Front bar thats been made to fit a GTT, and i dont really like the eastbear designs and they cost a fortune aswell.

Dunno, never quite looks right to me? :P

yeah that definately looks ass, but whoever did it has gone the wrong way about it..... that bar is gtr for starters and looks shit. If you are gonna do it you really want to do it propery not boro spec like this example.

R34 GTR hinges are approx $70-80 each

Will need 4 8mm nuts to fit bonnet

Will also need a GTR bonnet catch $70-80

May also need GTR bonnet catch support $70

Prices will vary, depends if you get trade price or not

I found all this out fitting a R34 GTR front to my Stagea

I tried to use R34 GTT parts first, but they did not work.

I have just fitted an R34 GTR bonnet and the above mentioned parts and prices are correct, only took an hour and a half to fit. The only tricky part is that the lower hole on the GTR bonnet catch support needs to be drilled about 10mm higher to line up with its mounting hole. East bear sell two types of moles (fills gap between GTR bonnet and bumper) one for std bumper and one for Aero bumper.

So to be perfectly clear, if you just want a GTR bonnet, you do NOT need GTR front bumper and gaurds.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • 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
