Hey guys, new here and im looking around for the "right" R34 but i come across the same thing so i may have to get what i can and change it to suit myself this is my problem

so far all the R34 GTT's i see (gtt is what i can afford) all have a different front bumpers to a GTR (what i would dream to own)

ill show what i mean in the phots below

Your Normal GTT Front

Your GTR front bumper -

Difference is the bonnet doesnt is shorter and the front kit comes up to the height of the bonnet, so if i get a different bonnet (actually want the same as below) and a front bumper could i swap them over? or is it not really possible?? any hints or tips would be awesome

yes its possible, someone has done that already on this forum. Only thing is the guards won't meet the bumper %100 so the bumper will hang about 10-15mm into the wheel arch but other than that it should be sweet as long as you get all the appropriate hinges and bonnet latch (if you get a GTR bonnet)

The bonnet in that pic is either nismo or nismo style, if you want to save time and money just get a GT-R style front bumper so you don't have to get a GT-R bonnet and everything will fit %100

hey mate, i "think" i might have what you're after

:rolleyes:

mate you are sick individual wanting to sell that...that is what i want ahh just look at them lines... the kit of GTR with the RWD ohhh damn... but thats more $$$ then i have ha, plus to make some personal touches, mate you are a owner of sex and i envy you! and the fact ill be living in melbourne means ill see that with out a doubt! so thanks for the offer tho

thats good that i know i can get the kit i want for a GTT is there any good place in melbourne area that sell decent ones does anyone know?

with reference to the photos,

the top one is a stock front bar but with an aftermarket front lip, so its a little nicer

secondly, you could always grab the east bear gtr style kit if you are after the gtr look

although, the gtr pic posted has a top secret front bar, a few places including jsai...(??) and musecret stock this front bar for the gtt, which i plan to get at some point.

Pretty sure that's a factory-option lip, though you can get them in the aftermarket too...

(These lips aren't all that common, but you do still see plenty of 'em)

So far i think all GTT skylines ive seen have that bonnet lip unless it has a kit on it (just looked at a few more to see if maybe it was my eyes playing tricks) im not a hater against it but the bonnet the meets at the lights and the front bar that goes to the top of the lights just look so much more well tough really. its like a skyline is a body builder.. you can have heaps of muscle - GTT but that GTR front is like being arny in terminator 2

eh? Lip I'm talking about is on the bottom of the bumper - nothing to do with the bonnet? (no bonnet lip at all in that top picture I can see)

oh okay thats not a problem in my eyes its the part in between the head lights

If you want that lip by the headlights all you have to do is buy a GTR style bonnet for GTT or just buy a GTR bonnet and get GTR hinges and bonnet lock assembly and swap it over. And then get a GTR bumper, but the bumper won't fit the exact shape of the GTT guards.. if that doesn't bother you then its pretty easy to do all that mentioned above.

OH okay sweet as i think ill take the easy option and get a gtr style bonnet for a gtt ha and get a gtr style front kit but now i know i can go it im sure i can at least talk to a company about getting the right size one or something

THANK A MILLION GUYS!!

    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
