can you explain a bit about the L piece and the lock? do i need the GTR L piece and the lock from the GTR?

are these the parts which are on the GTR body?

any issues with fitment of the GTR bonnet around the GTS headlamps/indicators?

Cheers!!

The L shaped thingy is what th bonnet catch and lock assembly is attatched to. Open your bonet and have a look. You'll see what we mean by the L shaped thingy. it has 2 bots at the top and one on the botton and hs the horns attatched to them.

And no, no issued with fitment of the GTR bonnet around the GTS headlight nd indicators.

Just double check to see if you have two clip holes on the inner ide of each headlight. If you do, thts where the GTR grill clips in, if you dont its no big usse, it clips into another hole as well

You dont have to get the gtr latch and bracket if you dont want to. The gtst one can be easily adjusted to fit the gtr bonnets clip. Depends how much money you want to spend on the car. If your on a budget then just use the gtst one

Do you have any further tips for the modification of the gts bonnet catch to retain the gtr bonnet? have had a bonnet flip up at high speed which wasn't pleasant so hopefully the mods are reliable. will go to bonnet pins if required, but i would prefer not to use bonnet pins.

There is 3 bolts on the latch connected to the l-bracket. Undo the bottom middle one and put the bottom of the latch forward which will angle the top of the latch further backwards and line up with the clip on the bonnet. Just keep adjusting till you get it. I did mine and havent had any problems.

spend $100 get a gtr latch , saves you hassle

you dont need a gtr latch - the latches are exactly the same.

the only part that needs to be changed is the "L" shaped bracket of the front reo, by changing this "L" bracket it relocates the standard bonnet latch to allign with the gtr's latching position.

this is the part that your horns should be bolted too, and also if you have a greddy fmic this is where the top mount bolts to.

i picked up my "L" shape reo bracket for approx $40 or so.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
