Hey guys, might be a silly question but I'm looking at options for my next project build. Just wondering how hard it is to get an R34 2door shell, straight or with repairable damage and what I'd be expecting to pay for one, the more complete the better, engine and box not needed. Or should I just look at buying a cheap 34 and selling the engine, box and whatever else i don't need?

You'll pay $15k for a good GTT and recoup maybe $4-5k by flogging everything you don't need.

$10k for a rolling shell is pretty darn pricey. You might be able to find something with damage but it's likely a lot of the stuff you need will have been stripped (brakes, diff, lights, decent panels). This would probably be the cheapest option provided you can pull it straight and bolt panels back on yourself.

What project are you planning?

Consider buying a VL Commodore shell, will cost about a tenth of the price of an R34 and you should be able to get info and parts for the conversion a lot easier, plus a VL sedan weighs as much as a 180sx (about 200kg less than an R34 GTT). You could also go VB to VK but you will need to run a fuel pump and lines for the injection. Just an idea.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
