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

post-73007-1280052753_thumb.jpg

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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
