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!

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
