R34 Gtt To Gtr

[craig V8 taffe]

I recently lost a headlight, front bar and fender from an r34 gtt coupe in an accident and was thinking of replacing them with a GTR bar, pumped guards front and back and a new CF bonnet.

Also considering a full respray of the car.

Obviously this won't be cheap, but anyone know what i'm looking at. Plus any decent shops around Sydney that could do it? I'd prefer to use genuine parts but wudn't mind some fake stuff either.

Full colour change will be $3-4k and upwards to $10K

Full panel change to GTR for new genuine parts would be at least $12-15k

It is pretty hard finding s/hand parts for a r34 GTR

I paided $1000 complete front bar del from Japan (approx $4k new), $600 s/hand bonnet

I had to buy all the front brackets and reo just to hold the front bar on over $1200 brand new

Does anyone know any good shops i could try in Sydney? Can any bodyshop do the work or shud i go for a customiser?

I've decided against the full respray, just need an idea of what shops i should be approaching?

I've called JetSpeed and Carmate in Sydney... anyone used them..

Do GTRs really have different headlights to the GTT, i know the bonnet is different..

i highly doubt there is a difference in headlights

Dont use car mate, Jet speed is good but there product isnt really..

Body form at prestons .. search the forums and you'll see what i mean!

his contact (peter) is 87835446 the phone is rarely answered so call now and again ..

And the headlights are slightly different not much if you get yourself a Top secret front bar from jet speed get that fitter (the gtr one) or order a GTR look alike bar from DMD the image in QLD you can obviously mold more fibreglass to fit 34gtt lights.. a original gtr bar will be pricy and is plastic molded so you cant fibreglass with a good stick!

Hope all that helps.. Peter will also be able to put you into contact with his sprayer which does a good job too

The head lights are the same, but the rubber seal between the headlight and bonnet is slightly longer on the GTT one to suit its bonnet
