Ok this might seem really stupid to many people but im at a loss. i might not also be able to explain myself to well but ill give it a shot. Well I have seen a few images of r34 gtt's where the hood isn't as long and doesn't sit down as far.

For example

post-73007-1280052734_thumb.jpg post-73007-1280052745_thumb.jpg

as pictured both the hood and the front bumper sit higher, the hood isn't as long as a stock r34 gtt. The bumper seems to sit up a bit higher and sits inline with the top of the headlights.

where as my stock skyline which i plan to modify bumper sits about the mid point of the headlights like this

as pictured i was wondering how exactly to rise the bumper and make the hood shorter. i obviously know that i need a new bumper and i am having an entire body kit custom made but how can it be configured so that the hood isn't as long, is it don't by cutting off some of the hood or simply installing a bigger bumper and having it sit on that? it seems to have an extra lip or somthing and i need to know how to have it removed.

sorry if this is a bit confusing but its just something i need to work out to modify my car and i need to get started straight away.

yeah man thats the point of why i want to do it, i like the look much better, but they are definitely gtts, the first one is a veilside kit and the second is a gtr conversion kit but that still doesnt explain how the hood sits flush with the top of the headlights and the front bar is higher

possible reasons Why yours is different

1 - both example pictures are GTR's and yours is GTT

2 - both examples are aftermarket carbon items and yours is stock

3 - both examples have aftermarket front bars where as yours is stock

In my opinion, don't try to modify your bumper and bonnet too look like that... buy aftermarket gear to get the same result

Im fairly certain GTT bonnets & GTR bonnets are 2 different size, weights and style bonnets

but correct me if i'm wrong.

cheers

i am 100% sure they are both gtts because they are advertised as that by private sellers:) and i know that mine is stock and that is what i want to change, my concern is how exactly to change it to raise the bumper and cut back the hood because i could go buy a new gtt bumper but it will still sit lower than these and im pretty sure a gtr bumper wont fit to it

Most stuff of the same model is interchangeable

cant say for sure about 34s but for 33s you can interchange guards, bonnets, lights etc etc without any mods

The guards on that Green 34 look to pumped to be a GTT

unless his done a really good full conversion

Edited by 89CAL

no your right to put a GTR bonnet on GTT you will need the GTR hinges, latch , and probably a GTR style front bar so you dont have a gap in between the GTR bonnet and stock GTT bar

but the reason for them looking different is coz they are 2 different types of cars. like you said one has a GTR conversion

and the other a complete kit you wont be able to get your car to look the same without changing your bonnet and bar

im not having someone fabricate the bonnet im just getting a custom front bumper!

could someone show me a site or somewhere i could buy a ztune bonnet that would fit the way i want

or just a standard gtr bonnet that will fit the way i want

Then call the local wreckers and see if they have any GTR bonnet latches and hinges floating around. If you do end up getting a front bar that was intended to go with a GTT, you can get something like this to fill in the gap the GTR bonnet makes:

bro seriously just do the gtr conversion at the fron, then go an aftermarket front bumper for a gtr, get gtr z tune guards and bonnet, if u go a carbon bonnet u dont need to change the latch if u go pins just remove the latch assembly (this is what i have done) but u might get pulled over a lil bit lol.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
