That is a R-tune bonnet with nismo z-tune fenders. I have all the Z-tune smoked lenses will install them once car is running.

Below are some pics that may help you.

I also have some spare nismo rear guard covers like the z-tune.

Cheers Bobby,

How much for the rear guard covers?

I know what the top pic looks like all to well!

Hey do you know where the splitter came from in either pic?

Hi,

The rear guard cover im after $500 for it as they are original nismo.

The splitter i got custom made by bodyform. I can organise one to be made if you like.

How good is the finish on the splitter, is it pinholed at all?

I have been chatting to Empire Aero too, does anyone know if they are any good?

Good to get some feedback about the quality of the various body parts available out there. I was considering these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-2001-Nissan-Skyline-R34-NS-Carbon-Fiber-Fenders-/330539641484?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cf5b2aa8c

Considering how cheap the USD is now, as well as being carbon, it would be interesting to see what the fitment quality is like.

Edit:

I'll add... while it might seem pricy. I'd rather pay double than have to pay a body guy to get some substandard quality guards to fit correctly by filling them with bog. 1/2 the time they would never be identical from left to right if they had to be "custom fitted" as well...

seibon stuff is not bad. but i haven't personally used their 34 gear.

I bought the sunline guards that we put on berry's R34 and they were perfect. fit and hang just like a factory guard. amazing quality. they do FRP guards too which are quite a bit cheaper than carbon. the kagotani bar we used on that car fitted perfectly too.

the nismo stuff of course has the best fit. basically oem quality but is very expensive.

  • 4 weeks later...

Finally I have had the chance to do some work on the car, it has been a pretty big couple of weeks.

On the engine front, we are delayed by the sump and rings at this stage, they are both in the water somewhere making their way to Australia, so the block and head remain as they were.

In regards to the body, I did get some primer on the front end, it is working as a bit of a tell tale coat, showing up pin holes of which there are many! As many have said previously, buy the NISMO parts, you could easily spend the other $7,000 on making them look respectable. Lots of bubbles, pinholes and pretty sloppy workmanship unfortunately. But at least it isn't holding up the project at the moment, so the time taken isn't much of a factor.

The supplier sent out some mesh for the cavities on the bumper and guards, it is a little too large. the stuff that came with the bonnet is a little too small.

Does anyone know where you can get mesh of the same size and similar strength of the original GTR infills?

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
