GTR BNR34 C-west body kit on a R34 GTT


Recommended Posts

Guest I.B.6.U.B.9

Just wondering if you guys have ran across any GTT's having the full C-West body kit for the GTR (check this link N-1 Distribution because I was thinking of importing the GTT myself and probably asking for an aftermarket version of the GTR C-West body kit to be fitted on the GTT as I have spoken to the above dealer and was told that an original C-West GTR body kit will not fill on the GTT because the GTR is wider. What do you guys think?

What do you think I should do in regards to getting a GTT over here with the C-West bodykit for the GTR.

Hope you guys can assist me.

Many thanks..

P.S I live in Melbourne, has anyone imported any cars through any dealers from Melbourne and have found them quite good? I was thinking of going with CARIZMA

Are you thinking of spending 10 squillion dollars for the C-West kit, then "butchering" it to fit on the GT-t? If I were you, I`d hang back and look for a similar (and cheaper!) kit that FITS the GT-t... no worries then.

Just as a side note...

The guy who owns THISs15-1.gifchop-top S15 drifter LITERALLY lives around the corner from me in Settsu Motoyama...:D no lie.

I got an original Cwest GTT bodykit on my car after considering the GTR version. Ill tell you now that what I have now is worth more than 7000 after painting and fitting. If you can afford the GTR version after you have bought new guards and so forth you will be out of pocket for a large sum of money. Just get the 34GTR if you can afford it.

The Cwest GTT kit is quite nice anyhows though now i wish id gone for the East Bear kit.

*EeEek! the r34 gtr one looks the sh*t...(as in nice)

and as for the GTT, hmm.. its more of a subtle look.

i'd try and go for the GTR kit on a GTT for sure,

maybe a bodykit place can copy the kit somehow?? maybe Jetspeed or something can try and clone the thing??

im sure theyve done it b4.. :)

are you japanese??

or an exchange student of some sort?? :):D

im just curious...

No, no, no. I'm not Japanese, but my wife is. Thats why I've been here for over 3 years now.

I'm an English Teacher (well, more like a personal entertainer of 20-25 year old Jap girls:D ). But I'm also **free plug here** starting up my Japanese Performance Parts business "K's Online Garage". Specializing in all brands OTHER THAN Trust, Blitz, HKS, Apex and so on...

>I.B.6.U.B.9: That means I'll be doing East Bear.

But I'm not taking orders yet, should be up by the end of the month.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
