i think thats because the east bear kit uses the original GTT fenders.

i could be wrong, but i think east bear make their kits to fit GTTs with a straight bolt on, as in fits right onto the body with no mods, such as fender changing and ect. Where as doing the GTR conversion with other GTR parts needs the fenders, but the east bear dosnt coz its made for the GTT already...

I think thats correct, but i may be wrong here :rofl:

Nope, Your right.. A GTR conversion uses Fenders, Laches, Hinges, Headlights, Front bar and bonnet.. Now if you go OEM your lookin at 5G+

So bonnet OEM 1500-2000

Headlights - $1000 often used

Hinges and latches - $150-$200

Front bar - New $ALOT used they are getting cheap seen them go for $500

Fenders - BIG $$$ for OEM, Aftermarket is about $800-$1000 I would assume

So whats that .. $4700... It aint cheap is it!

Id hunt aftermarket bonnet as it would be cheaper.. but yeah

SLR sunline racing.. have a look, they make whole wide body for GTT

there's do luck.. order them off SIngapore, closest they are asking about $2.5k I think just for fenders..

watch using JSAI pm me if you interested

Sunline Racing kit is nice... they use a C-west N1 type 2 front bar and the Z-tune style vented bonnet, and custom wide body front/rear fenders. but it's all made from dry carbon fibre - the real stuff. Super light. http://sunline-racing.com

The M-Speed wide body kit is hot too, it's available to buy from them as well, but expect to pay big $$$. Their time attack R34 GTR is on the cover of Hi Performance Imports. If I had a full track spec GTR R34 I'd be putting the M-speed kit on. http://mspeed.jp/

JSAI have GTR front fenders.. YAY!

A bit pricey though, $680 for ONE front fender...

If these are the ones I need:

Yikes!! This is gonna be expensive...

Ok dudes and dudettes... I'm now pretty sure I'm going to go this way, full GTR conversion with no 'kits' so to speak... Now I'm just asking if these fenders here ( http://www.jsai.com.au/shop/product_info.p...0a6a2b27b9c64de ) are the ones I definitely need, I really don't want to balls this up.. :P

I'm just going into the process of acquiring parts for the eventual conversion, so any tips, suggestions, hints or whatever will all be very welcome!

Thanks all!

Mark.

    • Nissan/Pitwork is fine stuff. HKS is just marketing wank. I personally wouldn't do the idler if it is already new. If it looks and feels fine, it is fine. But as D says - it's cheap to add it to the job. The water pump ditto. Even more so. If it show no signs of problems, then it is nearly new - leave it.
    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
