Hi guys,

I finally took the plunge and got myself an R34 GT-T! The car's been an absolute dream come true, its like a damn playstation on wheels! Ok, that aside, I'm thinking about getting a new front bar. Frankly, I can't afford East Bear so the next best thing would probably be this kit off ebay.

Since its so dirt cheap, I might wanna give it a go and see how it goes. However I've just moved to Brisbane, QLD so I'm not too familiar with the garages that does cosmetic stuff around here. Can anyone recommend a good reliable garage that I can stick to? Preferably somewhere around Brisbane City.

Also, could anyone advise on price wise: how much am I looking at for fitting and painting the kit?

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Cheers,

k.

p.s - i'm not sure if this would be of any concern, but the car is in white.

I personally would not buy bodykits off ebay.. especially when they are cheap... Do it once.. Do it right...

For brisbane I would recommend DMD... I don't believe they do paint and fit anymore (will need to confirm).. but their bodykits i have got from them are top notch.. hardly any mods to make it fit.. and didnt have some crazy out of line warping..

Paint and fit should prob be around $400.00 mark i'd say.. Does also depend on how the fitment is.. If they get that bad they require cut and re-glassing then requires more labour...

This is @ Bomba or at me? If I'm reading it right, its a GTR style bumper meant for GTT R34, no?? :(

If I'm wrong then I probably have too much blood in my caffeine stream!! lol, peace!~

Ah so sue me :P Just finished a 12hr shift, just read GTR.......

So how does it fit against the bonnet? Pics are too small to work it out. It couldn't fit over the bonnet cause how would you open it? anybody enlighten us?

St Lucia hey? I actually bought my 34 from there!

Must congratulate you on your choice of colour too :P

Cameron's Body Works in coopers plians are very good, as are bradys body works in acacia ridge. I might be a little biased as I am a local though....

scroll down to look at the white GTT, it's the exact same kit from the exact same seller off eBay. He shaved off the top mole and part of the middle bits in the grill, finally painted the 'lip' black and it looks wicked sick.

And thanks!! I was pretty glad I didn't get black, I kinda find white abit nicer after awhile(or maybe I'm just stupid biased, lol). Are you in sunny banks?

@Gimps, I think the general consensus around here is not to get kits off eBay, like uhm, you get what you pay for yea? I was thinking about it but the EB kit is out of my league. I was very skeptical too, but since another white Skyline has taken the plunge and not died, I was thinking maybe I should go for it too. Well, I'll keep ya posted on how it went, but first I need to find a decent affordable garage. I'll probably give the suggested ones a call on Monday. :P

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...
