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.

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!

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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.
