Hi peeps.

I am still in the market for a new car. I've been spoilt with my Alfa147. I have been looking at a few Euro cars but I am still considering an R34 GT-T.

I love the front face/bar of the GTR. It looks so mean. Is there any way I could convert the front of a GT-T to the same or similar look of the GTR?

Any help appreciated (even if it was original parts from Japan... I am happy to pay up to $5k for it.

i've looked heaps into this. I've been told u need to obatin:

GTR head lights,

Guards

Front bar.

GTR Bonnet

Now, i've had conflicting stories about the head lights, but nark swears they are diff to a GT-T. I haven't seen 2 close together to compare. Some ppl also say that u don't need to change the guards either. Franks, didn't u know someone doing this?

I've also wonder if someone could make a mould of a GTR front bar and then possible just tweak it a little on the sides to fit a GT-T, that could be an option as well, a bit of a custom job. 'ylwgtr' offered to make a mould for me, but i'm not sure if his car is in the best of condition at the moment...

With the bonnet, i'm not sure if u can just cut the little front/middle lip off the GT-T one, so i'm not sure if the GTR bonnet is essential.

I totally agree with u about the mean look, the R34 GTR front has to be one of the best designs i've seen IMO. I want to do the exact same thing as urself, change a GT-T into GTR. I reckon u could do it easy for $5K if u wanna spend that much, i don't think it will be a problem at all.

cheers

i say a genuine r34 gtr looks so much fatter than a r34 gtt and there are so many aftermarket r34 gtt bodykits that u find in my opinion looks better than the gtr kit. BUt in the end a gtr is a gtr.

SS8: Hmm. Cheers for the info. I'm quite surprised no one has done it yet. It musn't be so easy.

RedLineGTR: These kits your are reffering to, for the GT-T. Which ones are they? For a car which is so popular I am actually amazed at how few kits there are for the GT-T (say, in comparsson to a Honda civic for example).

I agree that a GT-T is a GT-T. It's not as pumped up as the GTR. And I can't seem to find anyone making a widebody like kit for the GT-T.

IMO there is no point to spend all those $ to make a GT-T or GTS-T to look like a GT-R. But everyone got their own taste to this, or unless the car was already like that when you bought it.

However if you really want a GT-R, why not save the money in the first place of all those body kits, custom guards, bonnet, etc, wait a bit while and buy a real GT-R?

The front fenders are necessary to ensure the bumper lines up properly. It can be done without changing to GTR fenders (so I've been told) but it doesn't look as "good". There is at least one company making wide arch kits for the GTT (rear arches only) but I don't have a link to their website (don't even know if they have one).

IMHO, a GTT is a damned good car and does not need to masquerade as GTR... :)

Guys could you tell me where i can source a GTR front headlights and front bar from melb ( for a friend )

also... i heard that GT-T bonnets and GTR bonnets are the same?

also .. how much is the front bar and lights approx?

-bnr34 and er34 bonnets are definately not the same!

-fyi, a genuine series3 R33 gtr front bar from Nissan Australia costs $800 unpainted - i can't see how a bnr34 front bar could be that much different?

-i heard 1 x headlight assembly for an er34 was AUD$2500.00 i guess it costs so much because it comes with the xenon equipment aswell?

demon dave, id like to know where you got that information from? ie. the guards not lining up correctly with the bnr34 front bar? im curious because the idea of changing to a bnr34 front did cross my mind and the only thing i believed that needed to be changed was the bonnet and front bar. the front bar and grille of a bnr34 are one piece from what i can see.

i also agree with the rest of you that the gtt has certain original traits which, with some help of a lip or aftermarket front bar, transforms the car...but at the end of the day its fibreglass! and fibreglass SUX!!!

you can't beat the original plastic in terms of rigidity. the other thing is, these aftermarket bars and lips usually sit too low for australian roads - given they've been made for jdm er34's...

check the victorian section for gtt body kits, theres a whole thread on this very topic in there somewhere....

I was told this by a Japanese friend of mine - he was planning to do a similar mod to his (then) GTT. He told me that to do the conversion seemlessly you'd need the front fenders from a GTR also. But he was talking about doing a full conversion - rear fenders and all.

Having said that, a lot of other people (yourselves included :P ) have said that the front fenders aren't necessary. That's probably the case since it's even possible to fit a GTR front bumer onto a Primera without using GTR fenders...have a look at Skymera

Skyline imports up here in Queensland got a GTT and fitted GTR guard front and rear, front bar and a vented fiberglass bonnet. Looked pretty nice, I still see it all the time driveing down the Hwy. It was fetured in a early HPI mag can't remember which one. Can't be cheap to do though, the pricetage on the car was pretty outrageous.

      Rb25det neo issue tps voltage

      By Gram · Posted

      hey GTSboy thanks for the quick reply. im on stock ECU  Surprisngly enough i unplug everything and replug everything, readings are still off but the car drove...ok haha So far this is what i have done. - Replaced ECU (still 1.5v) - Replaced Boost sensor (still 1.5v) Now the next thing i tried is to unplug the TPS and only plug in the Boost sensor to see if it reads 5v. No it still only read 1.5v.  Its a new boost sensor and i know i have 5v if i dont plug the sensor back in, so that means the power wire is good. So now im thinking that it might be a bad ground on the boost sensor plug.  on the FSM says the ground to the boost sensor is  a sensor ground, can i add a ground wire from the boost sensor ground wire to the the engine itself to ground it? or chassis?

      OK, so, assuming that there is nothing wrong with either the original or new boost sensor, then it would seem that there might be something wrong in the loom wiring to that sensor. This is troublesome, because if that were true, then you might expect the problem to persist when the sensor was unplugged. But seeing as the voltage comes good when it is unplugged, it would suggest that the fault might (and I stress might) be right at the loom plug. Either that, or the fault might be at the ECU, on the line in from the boost sensor. When you unplug the boost sensor, that input at the ECU is isolated from the TPS sensor and can't affect it. This would be semi-bad, as an ECU problem is never welcome, but at least you'd know where the problem is and it might be fixable, or at least replaceable. Do you have Nistune, or any other way of looking at ECU data? I'd want to drive the car around with the boost sensor unplugged and see the TPS working properly, then not working properly with the sensor plugged back in. You're not trying to run more than ~18 psi either? Right? Because even with Nistune that can be difficult with the boost sensor connected. Just checking, in case it might have some bearing on the issue. It shouldn't cause the voltage situation you're seeing though.

      Then sell it and buy a BMW! I can totally relate to this (except the money part! ). I think for me I need to remind myself that I do enjoy the process and to stop being so damn impatient and eager to get it done. That just leads to frustration and broken stuff.  Built not bought. Wait.  Fixed, not fought? No ... Definitely fighting things. Definitely not fixed, I give up. Cars are pain.
