Hey SAU

i have recently purchased an R34 gt-t and am wondering, like the r32, can you fit the R34 GTR front bar and R34 Bonnet,

while still using the standard head lights and guards ??

I know on my r32 this was not a problem...

My car came with a carbon bonnet and front lip to look like A gtr which i have removed...

I have sourced a GTR front bar but still looking for a bonnet. dont think it will be easy to find.

Anyone done this before ? and do you have any pics ?

To make a GTR front fit on a GTT you have to change bonnet inc. gtr hindges, front bar and guards but i think the head lights are ok not sure about them.

Its better to get a gtr style bar/bonnet for the gtt from a body kit place.

Front bar is ok, but the Bonnet is the main one im after, as the aftermarket bonnets are all defectable, i just took off a carbon fibre gtr bonnet.

yes, but the bar will look shite (same as a genuine GTR bar looks shite on R32 GTST) as it will bows in for the narrower front guards.

just wondering...do u have to fit GTR guards??? or just for the looks...any idea where to get hindges...thanks

I think you might need the guards to match up the front bar.

I have found all parts, bonnet, bar, and guards on yahoo japan...

Have a look on there for the hinges.

then you'll need rear guards to match up the front guards :(

no you DO NOT NEED gtr guards in order to have gtr bonnet! do a search. this got to be one of the most asked questions re r34 gtts!

I have an R34 GTT With a genuine R34 GTR front bar and it fits like a dream. not sure on the bonnet tho. looks hot too...

Excellent think i might start collecting some bits,

I already found front bar for $450, and bonnet i will have to import from japan.

Can you PM me a pic of your bar fitted to the GT-T.

how much does the gtr bonnet usually cost? i assume its genuine and not fibreglass or carbon?

The GTR bonnet is aluminium for Vpec & Non Vspec. Vpec 2 is carbon but it is painted with air duct on the turbo side. Prices vary for 2nd hand. A friend of mine just converted his and the weight difference is that the GTT is so much heavier.

From my experience using a GTR Top Secret Dry Carbon bonnet, the handling is so much better and the car weight transfer feels more neutral. Plus the cooling benefit under the bonnet due to the hot air venting out from the scoop.

If you buy a GTR bonnet, you will need to change the bonnet hinges, lock panel and lock assembly to the GTR items. This will then leave a gap where the top mole of the front bar should be.

If you then buy a r34 GTR front bar, it will fit but the edges will not align properly due to the wider fenders of the GTR unless you do some work on it.

I'm going the east bears direction and should hopefully get it within a month or so. Plastic and no mods required.

I have a lip that if i use the stock bar, i can just put the lip in, and it brings the stock bar up to meet the GTR bonnet.

Unlike the R32 i dont think you can cut the GT-T Bonnet to look like a GTR as the GTR bonnet rises up and the hump is bigger to meet the front bar lip between the lights...

For prices on the bonnet contact forum sponsor slidewize, and search yahoo japan, there is a nunmber of them on there.

I have a carbon/fiberglass bonnet, but i have taken it off for defect reasons aswell, its a clearly obvious defect from a distance...

driftmeister.. did your friend convert his gtt bonnet to gtr? i really don't want to go carbon bonnet as i don't want to get defect for it.

He is using the whole front section of the GTR = Bonnet, fenders & front bar. You may need more parts other than the hinges and hoodlock. The front bar actually sit on a panel (not sure what part number) between the headlight which the GTT doesn't have. Plus once you install the fender, there is a small gap when u fit the small section like an inch lower than the GTT body. See the pics attached then u will understand.

i have these fill panels ready to go here in aus see http://www.uras.com.au/syohin/skyline.html#r34

Remmeber no matter what anyone says GTR bumper on GTT looks real shit as it has to bow in to compensate for narrower gaurds. I would seriuosly consider a aftermarket GTT bar of some description.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
