Hey guys,

So I'm doing an R34 4Door GT/GTR conversion. Its going to have the front end of an R34 GTR and I was thinking of putting on Z-Tune front fenders. With that being said, I'm not going to pump out the rear fenders to make it wider, but I will put on side skirts and a rear bar (possibly East Bear) Do you think it will look good? It'll be wider in the front then narrow out... ?

OH! If you know if it can be done, let me know :) At the moment I'm buying the parts for the conversion piece by piece. So far I've got an OEM R34 GTR front bar and lower lip, possibly getting an East Bear GTS-R Carbon Fibre bonnet (bolt on for GT). Do you guys know if the pieces (front bar, Z-Tune fenders, bonnet) will together? I sure hope it can be done LOL! If you know anything about it, post up your knowledge if you have the spare time :P

Thanks,

LawzzZz

i think it will look kinda silly,

Z-tune guards are well sexy, i think wider than even GTR fenders

however, the rear guards on the 4door are the narrowest of all the R34 models, so you will have these wide front guards and a narrow rear.

...still... up to you, the front of your car will look mean.

why not bolt up a z-tune front bumper to z-tune guards? that way ull know it will fit.

Or if you want to use the front bar uve got now, just buy regular GTR guards

if you're gonna have a wide front go all the way or it'd look odd =/

where'd you get the oem gtr front bar & lip? price? personally i think the flared rear fenders look heaps good besides you can fit fatter tyres aswell. ^^

Yeah I was thinking of getting the full East Bear kit. Really pricey tho. And I haven't read anything good about the people that supply them here. I might just buy all OEM R34 GTR parts separately, might be cheaper. Although the painting and fitting costs a bitch. Just for a front bumper painted and fitted along with a bonnet just fitted, i've been quoted just under $1000. Didn't know it cost that much.

And to Deanis. I paid close to about $750 for the front bar and lip off a guy on this forum. Awesome condition *thumbs up* Although I'm looking to sell it. I'm not sure why but I'm thinking of either buying the full East Bear kit or as i said earlier, buy the OEM GTR pieces separately? Not really sure yet.

Anyone know of any good suppliers of East Bear parts here in Sydney, also a good panel beater who can do the body work for a good price?

Cheers,

LawzzZz

OH! and thanks for the feedback guys, much appriciated

go wide all the way!!!

BTW,hows your GTTR thing going...

Hey mate,

Well its sorta stagnant right now lol, no funds. DOES SOMEONE WANNA SPONSOR ME! LOL What does it take to get sponsored? I bought a stock GTR front bar but I'm tryna figure out if the V-Spec front bar is different to the stock one, and if it's a straight bolt on to a GT. If the there is a difference between the two, I might go with the V-Spec and sell the Stock GTR bar and front lip that I have now. Are you doing a GTR conversion aswell?

Be unique, theres already 20 of them..... go URAS or Bomex FTW~

lol, its been said already but, there is nothing unique about the above kits, not that they dont have appeal, but yeh...

on topic, i've also been considering going the z-tune front guards, but i've come to the conclusion that it just wont look right having the front wider than the rear, that said, i plan on speaking to a panel beater at some point and instead of getting gtr rear guards moulded onto the rear i want to see how far out he can pump the guards, possibly in the same way the gtr guards sit, then maybe the z-tune guards wont look as awkward

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. I did a search for it and I found this..

If you find out how much it cost to pump out the guards let me know too :laugh:

I think there has been alot of us Nismo fans out there wanting the Z-Tune guards on our cars for ages now but id sahy 90% of us all come to the same conclusion. Without doing the back as well your just making a R34 look like a front wheel drive dragger. Not cool. And once you do the back (if you got the cash) you probably could have bought a GTR anyway. Respect for those who do it though but id never have the cash.

I went down the track of a Bomex kit on mine and to be honest, regret it. Thought it looked pretty cool at first but then realised i liked stock so much better! :nyaanyaa:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
