Hey guys,

( mods move this if in the wrong spot, as said previously im just jumping straight back into SAU )

Im aspiring to kit my GTT to look like... a GTR!

Is this considered BAD TASTE or just someone wishing for better?

Links to wanted kit ( remove if not allowed, unsure, )

Front Bar:

Around $1200 for the kit, followed by around half that to paint it myself, i think.

Thanks for all comments.

Haters will still be haters - do what you think looks good.

(just DONT badge it GTR please ...)

IMO I'd not go the whole 9 yards. unless your keen on it all.

Get the bits you like, if it turns out to be the whole kit then go for it.

Be an individual, not part of the heard.

As above ^^ providing you have side skirts and possibly rear pods, I would say just go front bar and wing. Not over-done but looks better than stock. As said above as well, it's your car, you're the one that will be seeing it day to day so choose what YOU like best.

Haha i would NEVER gtr badge it, disgraceful.

And yeah the front bar and wing are the main things i am chasing, the skirts and rear bar i am just trying to keep the look consistsnt. Maybe with the rear pods ( because i do like my rear bar now) it will be enough.

As per above; but also...

Make sure you take your car physically to CarMate if you still intend using them and fit the kits on the spot before handing over $$.

Some parts may fit well - and others might fit badly.

This is my old car with the front amd wing only to give you an idea of how it will look. I got my kit from bodyform aero amd was a great fit. I would get nismo style side and nismo rears instead of those you've chose if you want it to look more like a gtr

That looks good man!

I want slightly wider from guards that still look stock as i dont really like bodykits... Although you see some cars that are done properly with kits and i want them lol... I guess its all about how much you spend and who you get to do it as to the overall result!

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
