Ive always had cooling issues.

I put a GTR for GTST front bar on the other day.

Its made a BIG difference to temperatures. the fan isnt on all the time, its hardly on at all now.

Even the oil cooler seems to be getting more air flow.

So airflow makes the biggest difference of all to the cooling ability of a skyline, cos they have such small holes to begin with.

So after adding an oil cooler, a fleabay radiator, twin thermos and removing the aircon; it was the GTR bar that did the most.

Next improvement would be a GTR bonnet to open up the gap between the lights.

If you want GTR grille and bonnet you really need GTR headlights (they have the mounts for the grille) and you need the GTR bonnet latch support because it is quite different to the GTSt one. My car has GTR front (originally done in Japan before I imported it) and they actually put a GTR rad support panel in it too. I know this because it recently got crashed and the repairer had to get a GTR rad support and not a GTSt one - otherwise stuff wouldn't have gone back together the same.

To fit the GTR bonnet, you won't need GTR headlights as mentioned in Post #4. You already have projectors and they come with the attachments for the GTR Grille.

I have done this mod, and all you need is latch, grille and bonnet.

Just cut the bonnet and put an carbon/fibreglass copy N1 lip on it. That's what I did when I was GTRifying my GTST, looks good, some sikaflex holds it on no probs, a lot cheaper than a GTR bonnet.

good one . . ive thought cutting the gtst bonnet to look like a gtr one would be possible and (as of last year)the grilles are still available new and just jap stocks new fibreglass gtr style bumpers that fit the gtst reo.

What about the catch?

Wouldnt that cut it off? then how do you hold the bonnet shut?

ill have a look when i get dressed(and finish coffee)

Sound like a good one if i can make it work

N1 lip? ill have a search and see what it is

Ps: any pics of that bonnet mod?

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
