east bear kit.

Easy.

Probably just cheaper that $10,000 after its fitted,painted and new wheels bought etc.

DONE. no cutting/welding/aligning etc etc lol

As for gun metal dude hating on posers etc, adding wide body guards is not necessarily trying to copy the GT-R is just looks better that way, it gives the car more angles and what not, its like rolling a turd in glitter... it just looks better.

p.s it would look a lot better than if he was to just buy a body kit without going wide body, almost every kit iv seen has side skirts that stick out like dogs balls and doesn't blend into the overall body shape.

Edited by R34 -_-

i'm not 100% sure but i think the rear track on the GTR is wider, so just bolting on a set of GTR wheels isn't going to quite sit the same as they would on a GTR. you would more than likely need spacers.

in all seriousness though, you are going to be looking at big money to get this done. as i said earlier, there is a lot of work involved, and the more i think about it, the more work it seems. just the paintwork alone will set you back a minimum of $1500 to $2000 and that's if they simply paint the rear quaters and blend it into the other panels (cheapest way to do it with the result being that it will be reasonably obvious that it has been resprayed). i'd say that the actual cutting of the guards and fitting the new ones will be another few thousand as well. the more i think about it the more i'm starting to think the price would be closer to 10k.

if it was me doing it, i'd simply sell the car and buy a GTR. sure the cost might be a bit higher, but then you don't have the stuffing around and the chance that it could turn out looking like crap if 1 of the guards isn't put on straight, or if the panel bows a bit when it is welded.

hey another question, does anyone know if the axles on a gtr are longer than a gtt, like from hub to hub?

just say i wanted to put a set of black gtr wheels after the panels r on, would they sit the same or would i need spacers??

if so i guess that $6000 comes down to sumwere around the $2000 mark aye GUN_METAL_GTR32

not really mate, i bought brand new 19insh vs-kf from japan and they cost 4200 + freight then pirelli corsa tyres for 600ish each so yeah i reckon my "quote" for the rims was pretty accurate.

gtr rims on a gtt sit nearly flush so if u add gtr guards probably add another couple of inches.

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
