Gtr Style Wide Body For Gtt

[chak8080]

Gary at www.Japsalon.com in the UK was making one for the GTT.....

Not sure how he's going with it but maybe worth an email?

That looks like a pretty difficult project... keeping the lines looking as natural as possible. Here's a GTR rear for a ER34 GTT from Japan. This might be a lot easier and looks to be a better/natural fit..... +50mm. ($315USD a set!)

These will get your GTT looking like a GTR... not any wider than that.

If you want to go wider you'll have to get a superwide R34 GTR Bodykit... but that's a lot of work and $$$

Thanks again for your help, does look like alot of work and big $$$ but thats fine, wanted to respray the car anyway.

At least it will be one of the nicest GTTs on the street.

Hey mate, why don't u pm this guy and ask how he did his?

That's an N/A but i assume it would fit a GTT also

I hear that! Super wide body with the high arched front fenders makes a R34 GTT look like a real GT500 car. I'm thinking about putting my plans on hold and factoring in the GTR rear guards so I can get some dish at the rears.... $315 a set seems like a steal and it looks like a fairly easy project. Depending on the labor costs, I'll probably end up doing that.

The pics above of the superwide body kit is from an American, Derick. I think he's stationed in Germany. I e-mailed him some years ago about other issues before he started his project. I checked my e-mails but I can't find his contact info... sorry. I know he can given you some good insight if you can find a way to contact him. He's on cardomain.com.

No way super wide kit it to much effort, Daily driven car with that much plastic is going to atract way to much attention..

The gear you found me is awesome, ill be getting wide fenders too..

Now wheel choice will be the hardest part.. Really no idea what to get..

[SS8_Gohan]

spent all that on a N/A??

DECIM8, pics are coming soon dude

how much are you actually looking at spend after EVERYTHING. Parts, labour, spray, wheels + tyres???

[DECIM8]

No plan.. So far it looks like about 8G..

4G for rims and tyres and then 4 grand for body work, perhaps more.

sick paint job but

[DECIM8]

Its N/A you gotta have it for some reason?! If it aint show then its sound, if it aint sound its daily driven.. Cause it wouldnt be for speed

SEX SPEC.. good stuff

Looks like I'm pushing over 11k for my project... 4k for the rims/tires, 2k for the respray and engine spray, ~6k for the east bear kit/aero hood/front+rear wide fenders/led taillights/gandor mirrors and a sunroof.... it makes me sick how much money I'm throwing into this ride ...

[SS8_Gohan]

east bear won't fit wide fenders. they're designed for standard GTT guards

and we're all remembering that R34 GTR's have come down a lot in price (well, exchange rate has played its role) and with the budgets you guys are talking about, ontop of what you'd get for your cars, you're not that far off a GTR

The fenders I'm getting are for GTT's only, 20mm wider and vented.. stock replacement and was told it works with stock bumper (it tapers back) so east bear won't be a problem.

While a R34 GTR would be fun to own, the next step for me is a Pearl Black R35. I'm a US citizen living in S.Korea so my situation is kinda complicated. My GTT really isn't worth anything since Japan is so close and you can get them a dime a dozen. Due to my visa status here, I cannot sell my GTT to any local without them paying a huge tax so it wouldn't be worth it for any locals. I really have to invest in my GTT, ship it to my home in Florida and it'll sell for 55+k easy. It'll take a year or 2 until I'm ready to leave and by that time I'll have the savings for a R35. I always wanted a R34 GTR but it would have to be a V Spec Nur II and that's $$$. I did a cheap RB26DETT swap with my GTT and I'm pushing 432whp at the moment so I don't think I'm missing out too much not getting a R34 GTR. There's no tracks for me to track so I have no worries about time trials n such... just good'ol highway crusies. AWD is a slight atvantage given my everyday driving conditions but really not worth it in comparison in price difference. I'm spending a lotta money now but hopefully it'll all play out right in the end.

Ever tried to drive a GTR to work every day and park it on the street?

I just wanna make it something no one has.. cant say ive yet to see one wide body gtt cruising nsw streets.. Especially a daily

That's just the GTR front and rear guards for a GTT right? Or is it wider? Looks the same as a GTR.

[funkymonkey]

its supposed to make a narrow body look just like a GTR, but be *slightly* wider without looking too different to a standard GTR.

Its front guards, rear guards, side skirt and front n rear bumpers. and I think a splitter for the front bumper from memory.

[DECIM8]

its nice, but costly.. Always get what you pay for tho.
