Hey Guys

Just a quick one;

To change a gtst to a gtr front end what is required i beleive its a new front bumper, lights, bonnet, grill and quarter panels?

Is this right?

And please no opinions, im not trying to make people think i have a gtr i just like the look without badges.

Cheers

Nick

I e-mailed a reputable parts import place one day for a quote on a 33 GTR front cut. $8500 including all panels and engine and I think gearbox.. not sure if hubs/brakes were included. I don't have the email anymore.

Thought about doing this once, myself.

mate sell your car.. trust me and everyone that also has said this..

iv got a gts-t and put 8k in to it full respray kit ect.. and the car isnt worth more than i payed for it..

if you know what i mean..

i was wonce reading others say this and thinking that ov corce id sell the car and get a gtr if i have the money..

but i didnt listen,, we are saying this because we made the same mistake..

just keep your car and drive it.. like it love it..

then when older or when your money wise stable get the gtr.

the banks are more than forward in giving money to you.. so just live life..'

thanx chris

Chris also drives an XR6 Turbo, so talking about mistakes... :laugh:

Depends on what you want. To go all out, you'll need front bar, lights, grill, bonnet, bonnet latch and quarter panels, but your car will look like a hammer head shark with the wider front end. Or, you could put on a GTR-style front bar and grill for the same price as any other body kit, and still have the large flat indicators to prove it's a GTSt.

The car in the photo Dani posted up has done that, which is how they were able to keep the S2 lights. That's not as "custom" and difficult as you all think!

hey im interested in this aswel..

but i u dont need the full front end..unless u want all the guards etc..aswel

u may aswel just get the front bar..lik im doing.

& since i will getting a gtr bumper next week..i believe its a fake, but its a TBO one..so der spoze pretty high quality bumpers from japan?? but im unsure about this.

and yeah it hasent got the in-built grill that most have fake/copy gtr bumper/s have..

which seems to be the problem on series 1..coz of the headlamps.. u get gaps.. as ive seen on sum 33 with gtr bumper..mainly series 1.

i believe the headlamps or rad support isnt going to be the problem.. esp. on a series 2.

its the front guards thats got me puzzled.

since the gtr have wider frt guards the mounts mit be different..but im willing to have a shot at it.

but has anyone esle experienced this as a problem when trying to fit this bumper..??

any info would b great.

thanks

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
