if they were just wider gt-t fenders i dont think anything would need to change since they were made for the gt-t..

if u meant gtr fenders though then yeah you'd probably have to change fenders, skirts, and rear bumper, and yeah you'd need a custom made bumper that fits the gtr fenders n stuff, what r u planning to do with ur car?

btw i think some places do make custom body kits but those would cost aloot im quite sure

fibreglass kits arent BAD though right? most kits use it ...

still hoping for a east bear kit though, no luck on a second hand one, gonna keep trying to get in touch with jsai to ask him bout the full conversion, which really could be cheaper than the east bear ..

its all so confusing ..

well if i were to use fenders made for a gtt together with my exsisting gtt front/side skirts and rear bar, then part of my wide rims would still stick out? eg: between the front fenders, front bar and side skirts and between the rear fenders side skirts and rear bar. Catch my drift? I think my only option would be to use both front and rear GTR fenders mated to a gtr bodykit but get a custom front bar.

the gt-r conversion costs alot mate, im almost about to back down n just put a nice gt-t kit on :|

if you change the fenders you have the change pretty much the whole car i think.. which will cost alot of money

why a custom front bumper? my favourite part of the gt-r is the special front bumper, which involves changing the hood

now at the risk of sounding completely retarded, in what way do you mean your rims stick out? i think r34s are only allowed to have 18 inch rims anyway...

sorry if thats really dumb ..

anybody know where to get a gt-r hood that looks like the one in the latest fast furious?

i cant find them anywhere, its pretty much the same as the z-tune one but without those extra vents inside of it...

east bear makes a nice one, but i don't know if that would fit other gt-r bumpers/fenders, and it'd prob be extra pricey since its plastic too ...

dude, look close. They're two completely different bumpers. The one on the previous page looks like dog crap.

the ebay link should not be using pictures of a completely different bumper

haha yeah but apparently you modify it a bit, its on this thread here...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...85#entry4630285

you remove the weird little bars in the grill area, and i think in the nicer one posted on the ebay site a mole was fitted too ...

*edit* was mainly worried that you'd seen the kit before and it wasnt very good quality or something ..

i think its the west yokohama kit? never heard of them before..

any idea on where to get that hood before btw?

Edited by Jonno34

looks like an east bear bonnet, which would suggest it's originally something else

check the big names, top secret, jun, c-west, etc etc. But you can get it from East Bear

and no, they're still two completely different bumpers even without the middle things and you can tell from ebay link that the shape of it is shite.

yeah i thought the bonnet vents on the ebay kit looked a bit dodgy, but i was hoping it'd be the angle or something ..

wishful thinking :banana:

yeah east bears so far the only company i can find with it, i think i've seen it on a few sites but their always in carbon fibre and not sold there in fibreglass/FRP ..

will the east bear bonnet fit onto a normal gt-t front bumper with a mole?

im thinking about the z tune gt-t bumper from JSAI with the mole in this pic, i think its n1 mole.

this kit usually uses a gt-t bonnet, so not too sure if east bear would work, but vivagarage sells a nice hood with the vent the way i like it but for a gt-t, so that should work out well.

or hopefully i can find the REAL west yokohama kit, not too sure if i'd have to use a gt-t or gt-r hood for this one though.

have to look into it a bit more.

going to go check out which other companies make that hood ..

cheers

hey good news!

c-red is bringing in a few more r34 east bear kits, i just called them

cost about 3k for the whole set.

Thats good news, let us know how it goes, also is that 3K for the whole kit front/sides/rear ? or just the front?

well this is also on my list of things to do.

i just managed to finish my rb2630 build and just waiting on a tune, hoping for a good 400rwkws.

also purchased GTR bonnet struts and latches a few months back.

so all i basicly need to do is get some guards and front bar.

im planning on a genuine Do Luck front which i got quoted from Import Monster for 2.5k and Z tune Guards. However i really wanted to buy the guards from Jsai to save money but i hear they have ripped off heaps of ppl.

=[

whole kit :blink: including bonnet, which is a good deal considering its east bear, however he did say it was fibreglass, not plastic as powerplay in sydney said.

i have to email them to confirm, waiting on a reply, but thats what he said over the phone

yeah 3k for the whole kit, have to email to confirm, still waiting on his reply, but he said 3k over the phone

hey japmuscle will the gt-r nismo struts fit my car? mine are leaking and i have to get them changed and one of my mates said he'd let me have his struts cheap since he upgraded them to teins, but he's got a gt-r.

i think jsai are quite good, i've heard alot of good things about them and seen that alot of people have bought for him, but he does seem a bit unreliable to contact, but i doubt he would rip people off, its just bad business.

btw what bonnet is that on the black 34? i've been looking around for something like that, cant really find much besides the east bear one, most of them make it similar to the z tune bonnet, or in carbon fibre only, hard to find a fibreglass one ..

does jsai still in business?

their website is dead, i cant contact them...

also does anyone try this gtr style front bar?

Hi! i tried this bumper, but i modded the grill part. Check it out:

cimg0707kt.jpg

cimg0705iv.jpg

If your wonder what that pinkish color stuff is? its body filler, when i modded the grill.

Bumper will still needs to be sprayed

unless c-red wants to lose money, they won't be able to do the whole kit for $3k.

Here's the YEN ONLY prices direct from East Bear

157500- front bumper

58800 - bonnet

63000 - rear bumper

56700 - side skirts

50400 - underspoiler kit

there are some slightly cheaper prices if you buy a combo of stuff.

So YEN ONLY you're up to 329700 @ 76 yen = $4338 AUD - that's JUST parts.

Doesn't include GTR components needed for the bonnet, fitting or spraying either. Oh and a little thing called "shipping" as well. Plugging the PARTS ALONE into importmonsters calculator gets you a $6k price tag delivered @ 77 yen.

Then perhaps add $1k for spraying/fitting (cheap price) and we're back at that ~$7k mark.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
