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!

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
