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...

nice to know you actually read the description and gave correct info

**You are bidding on a brand new R34 GTR style front bumper to suit normal GT and GTT R34 turbo or non-turbo version**

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

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
