it's not illegal to go wider guards

yes jap warehouse/mu secret are just selling JSAI parts

ok, you're in a different position to most. You have the luxury of deciding which way you want to go, GTT sized stuff or GTR sized. Because you HAVE to change everything due to the smash, you have both options open to you at essentially the same cost.

This is NOT the same for pretty much everyone else in this thread, as they have to work with the standard GTT guards, you don't as you're replacing them. That's why there is talk of trying to find bumpers that are GTT friendly, etc - you don't have to worry about this.

You are not restricted to GTT sized stuff anymore because you are having to replace EVERYTHING.

So it's a choice between a GTR front end or just the normal, narrower GTT front end. Considering it's going to cost pretty much the same, you may as well go GTR sized because it will bad ass

loving THAT idea very much aha

however, will the guards stick out from the rest of my car ?

So confusing, just when I was about to buy the GTT fitted kit today

r34 gtr front guards are +25mm wider than the factory gt/gtt front guards....u wont really notice the "wideness" to much i reckon, just the awesomeness of haveing a gtr front lol....however there will be a massive empty hole where there should be a cooler... thats the only reason i wouldnt do the gtr front and stick to a gtt front end....

hey guys,

DO NOT buy from JSAI josh.

Paid, payment cleared, loss communication and have not seen product at all.

Literally threw money away. And my car is still not drivable.

You will notice he has the same tendency in other threads many years before. And the same thing now.

BEWARE, DO NOT PURCHASE FROM JOSH

the original z tune is obviously a GTR kit as the Z Tune is a GTR..

Eastbear do a kit that is modifed version of it to suit a gtt as is.. Same with JSAI.. Others not sure about.. Fiberglass kits don't always bolt up without some for of modification.. However the shitest cheapest kits (any bodykit) will prob have some major warping requiring more modification to get it to fit..

JSAI have been known to make some awesome fitment kits.. But I personally wouldnt recommend unless its COD or pick up just due to past problems but all could have changed i dunno..

PSI Parts.. i havent heard anything bad about them and otheres seem to speak highly of them..

Just choose your company.. Do the research into them and see what they are offering and go from there.. No fiberglass kit i have ever bought just simply bolted up..

However if you are after the Front Bar, Side Skirts and bonnet.. well you already have the major parts for your front end conversion.. So whats the problem?

wasnt being sarcastic at all....

jsai have a melbourne distributor that u can maybe call to try to settle the situation....

jsai were removed from SAU a wile ago....the only trader to ever be removed there from the forums yeah....

not a single person on here recomeded u to use jsai, some of there distributors are good but the only one i would use is empire auto.

contact the police and the consumer affairs victoria as he is a registered business....

gl with getting ur cash back or some parts ... try to get cash back. (there r a few posts from a few years ago about how badly fitting his parts have been) and speak to shane from PSI parts his a good mate of mine and a top bloke who will help out anyone if it has to do with cars lol....

Parts were received after police involvement :)

Whether or not they'll look good will depend on when my panel beater is finished.

And I spoke to Shane a while ago, he said he doesn't really make parts anymore. But he's def a top bloke, really nice and helpful :)

Sigh.... There would be no prob if you had just listened to me in the first place. I said JSAI's parts were good but I did suggest to you to get the parts from Jap Warehouse, Josh's distributor -.-

I did contact Jap Warehouse, they did not possess any parts. And if Josh supplies them, it would be a longer wait to payment to be cleared at Jap Warehouse, then the order to be put for Josh. He would then have to make them, send them off to Jap Warehouse, and THEN another courier to my place. So essentially it's the same thing, only I would get "we're still waiting on parts" from Jap Warehouse.

To be honest, the parts came VERY quick. I would recommend Josh IF he communicated and IF he have a proper time frame. I was lucky because the fuzz were involved and got my parts in 3 weeks, whereas others have waited 3 months

Jap Warehouse dosnt list anything on their website though?

Just call em up and ask for Kenz, and if you mention me, he would probably look after you with postage :)

Well... If you thought going through Jap Warehouse was longer, then you simply didn't listen to me lol. I paid and got my kit within probably 8 working days oppose to 3 weeks.... And plus, Josh would definitely pick up calls from his distributor :P

Oh well, doesn't matter, as long as you got your kit. Post up some pics when you have it on your car. I still got mine sitting in my garage, it's so pricy to get the wholel kit sprayed and fitted =.=

hi guys has anyone here had any experience with the Seibon stuff through Mu secret?

They have a carbon z-tune guard variation that actually has a working vent.

I am looking at getting the whole Z-tune kit, bonnet, lip, spats, skirts and guards. I want the kit to be functional so the FRP guards in the z-tune kits are out as they don't seem to actually have any vents in them.

At the end of the day I just want something functional and good looking, thanks for the advice that has come through in this topic though!!

Not sure about SEIBON, but I do have a pair of brand new Z tune style sideskirts and rear pods for sale for the GTR if you are interested. They were made by Josh at JSAI.

Why are you selling?

Do you know how they were made? Carbon, epoxy, poly eurethane???

Have you had them fitted to a vehicle before??

I'm selling them because I thought they'd fit my GTT lol. But they are made for R34 GTR.

They were hand made by Josh at JSAI, made from fibreglass.

They are brand new, so it has never been fitted. But JSAI's kits have a reputation of good fitment

haha I thanks Charles! Well now that I've experienced it all, I will know for the future ;)

The kit is getting assembled & painted by Vu as we speak, so I will def post up pics when it's done.

Haven't had my baby for nearly 2 months, thank God GT5 exists

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
