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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
