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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
