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

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
