Gary at www.Japsalon.com in the UK was making one for the GTT.....

Not sure how he's going with it but maybe worth an email? :blush:

That looks like a pretty difficult project... keeping the lines looking as natural as possible. Here's a GTR rear for a ER34 GTT from Japan. This might be a lot easier and looks to be a better/natural fit..... +50mm. ($315USD a set!)

These will get your GTT looking like a GTR... not any wider than that.

If you want to go wider you'll have to get a superwide R34 GTR Bodykit... but that's a lot of work and $$$

Thanks again for your help, does look like alot of work and big $$$ but thats fine, wanted to respray the car anyway.

At least it will be one of the nicest GTTs on the street.

I hear that! Super wide body with the high arched front fenders makes a R34 GTT look like a real GT500 car. I'm thinking about putting my plans on hold and factoring in the GTR rear guards so I can get some dish at the rears.... $315 a set seems like a steal and it looks like a fairly easy project. Depending on the labor costs, I'll probably end up doing that.

The pics above of the superwide body kit is from an American, Derick. I think he's stationed in Germany. I e-mailed him some years ago about other issues before he started his project. I checked my e-mails but I can't find his contact info... sorry. I know he can given you some good insight if you can find a way to contact him. He's on cardomain.com.

No way super wide kit it to much effort, Daily driven car with that much plastic is going to atract way to much attention..

The gear you found me is awesome, ill be getting wide fenders too..

Now wheel choice will be the hardest part.. Really no idea what to get..

spent all that on a N/A?? :P

DECIM8, pics are coming soon dude :P

how much are you actually looking at spend after EVERYTHING. Parts, labour, spray, wheels + tyres???

yep, de-badge, with FMIC, and oh, btw there were no hoses n piping connected to it.

eh

sick paint job but

No plan.. So far it looks like about 8G..

4G for rims and tyres and then 4 grand for body work, perhaps more.

Looks like I'm pushing over 11k for my project... 4k for the rims/tires, 2k for the respray and engine spray, ~6k for the east bear kit/aero hood/front+rear wide fenders/led taillights/gandor mirrors and a sunroof.... it makes me sick how much money I'm throwing into this ride :teehee: ...

east bear won't fit wide fenders. they're designed for standard GTT guards

and we're all remembering that R34 GTR's have come down a lot in price (well, exchange rate has played its role) and with the budgets you guys are talking about, ontop of what you'd get for your cars, you're not that far off a GTR

The fenders I'm getting are for GTT's only, 20mm wider and vented.. stock replacement and was told it works with stock bumper (it tapers back) so east bear won't be a problem.

While a R34 GTR would be fun to own, the next step for me is a Pearl Black R35. I'm a US citizen living in S.Korea so my situation is kinda complicated. My GTT really isn't worth anything since Japan is so close and you can get them a dime a dozen. Due to my visa status here, I cannot sell my GTT to any local without them paying a huge tax so it wouldn't be worth it for any locals. I really have to invest in my GTT, ship it to my home in Florida and it'll sell for 55+k easy. It'll take a year or 2 until I'm ready to leave and by that time I'll have the savings for a R35. I always wanted a R34 GTR but it would have to be a V Spec Nur II and that's $$$. I did a cheap RB26DETT swap with my GTT and I'm pushing 432whp at the moment so I don't think I'm missing out too much not getting a R34 GTR. There's no tracks for me to track so I have no worries about time trials n such... just good'ol highway crusies. AWD is a slight atvantage given my everyday driving conditions but really not worth it in comparison in price difference. I'm spending a lotta money now but hopefully it'll all play out right in the end.

Ever tried to drive a GTR to work every day and park it on the street?

I just wanna make it something no one has.. cant say ive yet to see one wide body gtt cruising nsw streets.. Especially a daily

No thanks

P.s you just spent $2000 on side skirts and a rear bar :(

That's just the GTR front and rear guards for a GTT right? Or is it wider? Looks the same as a GTR.

its supposed to make a narrow body look just like a GTR, but be *slightly* wider without looking too different to a standard GTR.

Its front guards, rear guards, side skirt and front n rear bumpers. and I think a splitter for the front bumper from memory.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
