you'll have to change or modify the bonnet latch also for the bonnet to close and get the front grill, the killer is the rear guards which are obviously part of the chassis that will need to get replaced. Headlights should be ok as long as they have the brackets for the front grill.

Also if you change the front guards you'll need to change the side indicators as GTR ones are larger than GTS.

So after all this is it worth having a fake GTR? You decide.

I've seen a black example on the net that had the stockies from a 34 GTR, looked H-O-T.

I was tempted for awhile to get a GTR 'style' kit for my 33 but I decided to just wait a few years until I can afford to buy a real GTR (34 preferrably :D ) but if you have the free time and funds then go for it. Any skyline looks hot imo, even the 31s look good compared to other cars of it's day, Enjoy your car and good luck if you plan to go ahead with it

hi guys i got a question here, if i want to change my r32gtst to r32 gtr look

do i just need to source the r32 gtr bonnet, front bar and front guards?

or there is something else need to be replaced?

what about the headlights are they the same?

thanks a lot for helping

First thing you need is a bitch-slap upside your head.

Dude... why? :chairshot

Save the money and buy a R32gtr :uh-huh:

B-eer (spelling?) in Japan have a R34 gtr conversion/kit bout 10k befor freight, fitting and painting!

Trust me...

Save the money and buy GTR their coming down in price!!! might get a good trade in on the GTS-T + 10k saved from the front conversion = at least 15k, just another 5k from base GTR + insurnace.

Don't dress mutton up as lamb- we all know the difference! might take a couple of bites but in the end we'll find out.

GTR is the way to go! :uh-huh:

Good luck

Dude... why?  :chairshot

I can think of plenty of reasons...only reason against is the cost of swapping over the rear guards etc. Sadly the cost is the reason why i would never consider it:(

Main reason for; do a search and find footage of a yellow RUF Porsche at the'Ring, car was called Yellow Bird i think...exciting handling and RWD:thumbsup:

So get tuff looks, wider track and lighter/better weight distribution plus a hole list of advantages which i wont bother going into...cause one day i will win lotto:)

R32 GTR Fuse box - particullar fuse = RWD fun :uh-huh:

Starts rainning on track put back fuse! :D

does anyone know where can i get aftermarket gtr style kits for my gtst cheap!!?
Jetspeed in Clayton have a GT-R copy front bar (although I reckon it's way too wide). Also japanese Motorsports in Adelaide (I got mine from there, but it needed a fir bit of extra work to make it strong enough).

And I think places like Autobarn have the rear wings. Or any wrecker (check Zoom1 / HPI advertisers).

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
