gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

[JC71]

would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders?

after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface?

( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.

The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides.

There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry.

After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be.

99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam.

It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc.

Decide this all before buyin'.
