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!

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
