I have decided to convert the front of my GTT to a GTR, As my front end was damaged by someone reversing into it I thought I'd try something a little different, Currently have Impul sides which will need to be modified and front bar on the GTT a Genuine R34 GTR spoiler LED nismo tail lights and LED brake light.

I will post prices and time that it takes to modify the front end as I go and all custom work required for fitting.

Parts I have sourced already:

Genuine R34 GTR front bar in silver from Andrew at Kudos Motorsports $400, was asking $650 for one and offered it to me for $400, Recommend him to anyone great guy.

Genuine R34 GTR fenders $1100 including the freight to Brisbane

Genuine Rubber mould (Sits between the front bar and bonnet-If u do not have this there will a gap between them) $100

Bonnet hinges ect. for fitting R34 GTR bonnet $95

Currently looking for a Genuine Bonnet

I have attached some pictures of my GTT currently and will update with parts and work as I go

I wanna do a similar thing to mine but instead East Bear sell this top mole part that you use on the current front bar which allows you to have a gtr bonnet.

Keen to see how much you get the bonnet for, heard they're not cheap?

Are you gonna change rims? they're gonna look hell small inside the gtr fenders.

man, been looking for a gtr front bumper. Does he have more? can you post contact details if he does? thanks

No Andrew doesn’t have anymore GTR exterior, But Eugene user name JDM Performance has a R34 GT-R OEM plastic front bar in Millenium Jade for sale, not sure how much though?

Yeah I'm sure the bonnet will be a killer like the fenders lol, hopefully get one for around the $600-$1200 mark, Yeah I will get some Volk TE37s to fill the guards properly once the front is all done :laugh:

Looking good mate, as long as there isnt a GTR badge on the grill your on a winner here.

Nice plates btw!

Haha thanks! and no GTR badges on the GTT :)

I think there's a genuine GTR bonnet on ebay for $600?

I've always liked the conversion idea, but i was wondering if you're going to be pumping the rear guards at all? Imo, only doing a front GTR conversion on a GTT looks odd because the front guards are way wider than the rear (even the stock front GTT guards are wider than the rears). It's all about balance. Just my 2 cents tho..

Hi Tom,

I think it will look ok, Holden did it looks ok, Holden didn’t do it with any style simply just wide guards and its worked out pretty well so far

I have done most this conversion, gtr gaurds, z tune style carbon bonnet do luck front, and it does look a bit odd with factory gtt rears. Not unbearable, but just looks odd. Havn't put them on yet but doing the rears to go with the front. Just hunting for a factory gtr front, and possibly a diffrent style sideskirt than what i have. Don't think it'll suit.

Post up your pics?

Actually you don't need the GTR fenders (however it would look much better with them).

One of the guys I bought parts from has an R34 GTT - all he changed was the bumper and the bonnet.

The GTR bumper to the standard GTT guard lines up quite nicely enough (surprising) - however there is a slight mis-match in how the lines flow.

Wouldnt mind seeing some photos of how well the guards matches :)

hey got round to taking a couple pics for ya. first is front with gtr fender nismo style bonnet do luck front, and no skirt. only took off to test fit new skirt. Quite like the way the sill tucks in from the front. the second is with skirt on. Quite a wide style, so did help to fill the rear out a bit. In saying that I will be doing the rear widebody at some stage

Sorry to dig up an old thread- but I have a question!!!!

I have a 4 door with gtr front already fitted-looks tough- but I recently sourced a cheap set of fenders and thought to add them to the front- I havent yet had time to trial fit etc-but my question is "will my series 2 sideskirts still fit with gtr fenders?" I'm worried that fenders will be too flared at bottom to fit the skirts and that said the gtr skirts I'm assuming won't fit a four door? So might be a custom job! Anyone had experience with this? Cheers in advance!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
