I would like to put on a Nismo Z-tune style GT-R bonnet on a GT-T.

Already getting the East Bear front, but don't like the look of their bonnet.

What would I need to do this?

Hinges, locking mechanism, front wings?

i hate people claiming they got a R34 GTR in their details.. and yet really they don't even have a GTT :(

And Cara.. DMD do a R34 GTT front fender with wider guards.. as they make these themselves i believe i'm sure you could ask without the vents..

Yes they did make "that" guard themselves after they took a mould of my genuine Blitz/URAS guard that I ordered from Japan through them. That guard of yours is just a copy of the Blitz/URAS guard plus the vents.

I was told today that Blits over in QLD are also looking into making wide body fenders for GTT's.

While I don't believe in sticking GTR badges on GTT's but my car came with GTSR badges and I think they're cool :sick:

well my thanks to you then michael.. out of interest.. have you got info on the cost? PM if you want.. cheers

I really don't have any ideas on cost Graig, your best bet would be head over there or give them a call because all the bodykit/panel/eyelids/hoods over at DMD/Monkey seems to be getting cheaper every month. :P

I think Blits already have a widebody fender for the GT-T, the reason I said this is because I saw a purple GT-T going around in brisbane that has a semi-wide bodykit fitted to his car and when I ask him where did he get the kit from he said he got it from Blits Gold Coast.

Okay I have been watching this post as I am going to be doing the same conversion, but with all metal and aluminum fenders. The front is not too bad, need the GTR front fenders, GTR bonnet or if you wann be cheap and try to mod the GT-T bonne tto look like a GTR, GTR front bumper, GTR bonnet hinges and GTR bonnet locking mechanism along with GTR front bumper support bar. That's it for the front, the problem with mounting the front fenders is that when you mount them unlike the GT-T is that the bottom of the fender does not sit flush with the door as the GTR has the long side skirt unlike the GT-T which has the stock quarter piece to the back of the door, so definitely you need the GTR sideskirts. Next thing is that when you use the GTR side skirts the rear of the skirt is tapered out a little to compensate for the wider rear quarter panels so those are needed as well. Once you get the rear quarter panels you will need the rear bumper as the rear bumper is a little wider than the GT-T rear bumper to compensate for the wider rear fenders. Lastly you will need the GTR tailight covers as the cover are also a little wide to fit flush with the wider fenders, or you can simply use some glass to make up the difference with the wider fenders.

So far my collection is just a stock Vspec rear bumper but by month end I should have a stock GTR plastic bumper with all the support bars and then I will be gettign the sideskirts and front fenders, only leaving the rear fenders.

Do you know how much of a gap there is between the tail light cover and rear fenders? Any idea where to source the bonnet hinges etc for the front conversion? How about nissan and their prices? so far all the wide femders ive seen are only 25mm wide. Kind of wonder if its worth while just for that much?

Sweet it's another 34 GTR conversion topic! Quick get out as many posts as possible before more people get on and preach about "incorrectly" badged cars!

What makes the gtr that much more of a looker to warrant the conversion? Is it the wider body? Nope! Wide bodies are good but why not go for something more along the lines of JGTC fenders since you're forking out for it anyway? They're good but they're not the reason to change so many other pieces of your car to complete the puzzle.

Is it the sexy red R on the badge? Nope! Well... maybe but anyone who cares will circumcise your first born son in his sleep and nail your cat to a cross if they catch your GTT with a GTR badge on it. And debadged cars are better anyway (so I'm told) so that can't be it either...

The wing! Actually, that's not it either since you're not in a real GTR so you won't be physically able to go fast enough to generate down force. I'm told wings are gay to. So don't worry someone who shares this view will post up soon enough. As the laws of physics state; 'once a cosmetic related thread containing a strongly biased opinion is in motion, the probability of someone with a similar opinion replying to the post is directly proportional to the probability of them reading it.'

Seriously? I reckon it's where the front bar meets the bonnet. Think about it for a moment.

Now compare to the GTR,

That's it! I believe that little piece of fiberglass is what sets the entire car off. It's why the new lancer or GTR looks hot from the front.

See, both so hot you cold cook a steak with a wallet sized picture of either of them!

I know most of this post is a blatant waste of time and all the pictures are a joke but I'm throwing it out there that the person that does this;

post-53546-1244364851_thumb.jpg

Except does a serious job of it that doesn't look like my horrible paint jpeg, will make a motsa out of tight arses that want the GTR look without the GTR cost. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong... I'm sure you will .

I'm no fisherman but I reckon I'll get a bite out of this post!

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
