omg a girl that likes cars and plays racing games =D

All I need is a moustache and I'm officially a man = {D .. that's a moustache if you didn't notice.. lol

Ooooo, it's at Vu's hey, I might drop by and have a look at it :D

She's not ready yet! If you go now it'll be this big pile of ugly mess. He should be done by Fri/Sat. On top of the paint job and assembly, i also had to replace the reo and beat the radiator bar out. AND install new headlights. So it may take a while :)

I forgot to ask, are you doing anything to your car atm? Did the group buy go through?

Maybe I could come along when you pick up your car :D

As for my car, it's still the same lol, still got the kit sitting at home, nothing is happening at all. Just waiting to have the funds to spray the kit. As for the group buy, I still need a few more people before we go through with it :S

wen i was living at nissansilvia.com i new a guy that had a r34 in vic and purchased the zturne kit for his gtst costed him a bit but not precise and im pretty sure gtr guards bonnet ect.. will bolt up on a normal gt model i mean its the same hape but different quarters i realy dnt think it would be a problem

In that case then I imagine the Empire kit will fit:

http://www.empireaero.com.au/pages.asp?ID=GTR+GARAGE

Website said "GTR" but I can't get a hold of anyone to see if all pieces together will fit a GT-T

JSAI sell the ztune kit for a GT/GTT

I've looked into them. Maybe it's the poor advertisement photo but I'm not convinced:

http://jsai.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage-ask.tpl&product_id=343&category_id=25&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=29

Seems like their missing the hood and front fenders (Ztune flared fenders).

Hey all,

To summarise - it wasn't an easy process.

Purchased front bar from JSAI. My tip: The bar itself was good, however you WILL NOT hear from Josh for MONTHS. I paid & was told 2 weeks. After a month, Josh was not responding to any attempts to communicate. Basically I was extremely annoyed & had to get the fuzz involved - to which weeks later the bar did arrive. So for your own peace of mind, I would NOT recommend JSAI. Go to warehouses that use JSAI as their stocker - it will cost more but you'll get your item.

Bonnet from Carmate - DO NOT use Carmate for rear bars.. or actually anything really. Their moulds are not great & 1 in 100 will actually fit. Mine wasn't a snug fit but I had gone through too much sh*t to be bothered to get a new bonnet.

I decided to buy a rear Bomex - personal preference because not a fan of the z.

Eyelids from eBay.

+ Respray.

Total cost of project: ~$5600

Final Advice - BE CAREFUL of private sellers. Others & myself were scammed - I went to the police, filed statements & kept pushing them. 8 months later I got my $1100 (Lucky, I know)

Attached picture if before eyelids + HIDs :)

Thanks for the reply. Clean looking R34

Shady companies/people are not on the radar. I'm in the states so I sure as hell don't wanna deal with douche bags in OZ.

I've been doing a lot of searching and I think I found the perfect recipe to do a GTT >> GTR >> Ztune convert. Basically, the GTT Z-Tune kits I've encountered online compliment the GTT as opposed to transforming it something I'm looking for.

Products offered here-

All Empire Z-tune components FRONT END:

http://www.empireaer...p?ID=GTR+GARAGE

All JDL Tuning components REAR END:

http://www.jdltuning...body-convertion

The only issue I've read about is the tail lights not fitting properly: GTT tails have smaller covers.

Thanks :) Not too shabby - although I had wanted it Bayside blue, but the paint job was 3-4 times as much. Not sure how many kidneys that is haha

Regarding converting it to a GTR Z tune rather than a GTT Z tune: I had looked into doing that. But it came down to too much effort & $ as well.

- You'll need to get GTR guards to fit the bonnet + front bar. So it will be wide like the GTR - however I'm unsure about if they're legal where you're living.

- Also need GTR headlights - which may set you back ~ $1400

- If i recall correctly, you'll need to adjust the latches for your GTR bonnet. You can get GTT Z tune style bonnet to fit your GTR bar/guards, but it's shorter and so you get a small gap in the front between the bonnet & front bar (between the headlights-ish)

- Custom wide rear bar needs to be made, & as you've mentioned I've also been told about light fitting difficulties

Basically things will never be perfect because it essentially wasn't MADE to fit, and "custom" moulds aren't always perfect. I guess it also comes down to whether your panel beater can chisel away at parts to make it look more snug. BUT if you're willing to spend much much more (approximately 3 times as much) you'll be able to get a decent job.

Check out East Bear. I've heard of your mentioned companies but haven't personally heard or seen amazing results from them. Possibly because it's cheaper to simply buy a GTR lol.

Before you buy though, make sure someone else has used them (RECENTLY) & you're happy with how it has turned out.

Mine was the cheapest it could be done.

Bar - ~$600

Bonnet ~ $600

Skirts ~ $300

Rear ~ $300 (Bought from SAU member)

Respray of kit only $2000

Headlights ~ $1400

Suppose if I was intending to keep the car for long i'd put more effort in. But she'll be sold soon :)

Hope this helps!

My rational for this whole body kit mess is to promote air flow. I use the GTT for road racing (RB26 to 2.8L). The Z-tune fenders (aka guards) are not only sexy, they're efficient. The Z-tune style hood is effective as well.

Thanks for the feedback the more insight I get the more time and $$ I can save.

I think I already addressed most the issues you've mentioned. The complete Empire Aero GTR Z-tune for the FRONT end should convert my GTT into a GTR Z-tune as long as I buy EVERYTHING from them (hood, fenders, bumper, etc).

I'm not 100% sure but I believe I already have GTR headlights (Xenon). Can someone confirm from this picture?

I'm not spending more money on expensive Jap parts. I made that error when I spent drug money on my Z (my profile picture). Replicas are fine with me especially since I don't daily drive the GTT.

Good advice. It seems that a lot of dudes on GTROC used JDL tuning and have given me the thumbs up. I think JDL tuning is British or something so that's probably why a lot of GTROC dudes have used them.

Jesus. Almost caused a black-out trying to load that picture. Must you make it so big!?

Yea, definitely replicas. But pay attention to fine details, e.g. fendors & mesh :)

Definitely post up when you're done - would like to see a successful project. Then paint it bayside blue to make up for what I didn't do lol

Re headlights: yup, yours look Xenon to me. The outermost globes should be circular (and say xenon on the headlights near the base lol..). From what I know (don't quote me on this, I will hold legal liability) the shape is the same, so it will fit with the kit. The ballast is also the same. The only difference is the reflector & reflector arc inside. But I don't think that's going to make a big difference - not enough to pay thousands for GTR xenons anyway.

Ps. Yea... my car was once clean too...

you can import r34s into america now? xenon lights arent just for gtrs, they are all the same

ssshhh. Don't tell Barack Obama.

**Update**

The dudes from JDL Tuning have been offering lots of insight and communication. Apparently, they don't make the Ztune-style hood but did point me to SEIBON as an alternative. I found some functional SEIBON Ztune-style CF fenders... but now I don't know which type of fenders to get, lol. http://www.seiboncarbon.com/products/nissan/skyline/

Seibon in action:

http://speedhunters.com/archive/2010/04/23/car-feature-gt-japo-motorsport-z-tune-r34.aspx

As of today, I've decided to go with the JDL Tuning GTR kit (+ JDL Ztune front bumper) and add the Seibon Ztune-style CF hood and Ztune-style fenders to complete my GTT >>> GTR >>> Ztune

cheers.gif

Correct, but if you did not buy your car out of factory - the lights can often be replaced with a xenon housing but no ballasts. Or even non-xenon housing

I damaged mine & bought non-xenon ones. And just bought & installed HIDs

Hello,

I know this an old thread however I'm in a similar situation but slightly different. 

This is my current bumper http://i.imgur.com/TQxv3PV.png

I would like to know if z tune fenders (guards) will be flush with the bumpers. 

I've made a reddit thread that includes the fenders I'm planning to purchase https://www.reddit.com/r/SkyLine/comments/5xw5bo/fitment_issues/

Thank you!

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • 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
