I would like to put on a Nismo Z-tune style GT-R bonnet on a GT-T.

Already getting the East Bear front, but don't like the look of their bonnet.

What would I need to do this?

Hinges, locking mechanism, front wings?

i hate people claiming they got a R34 GTR in their details.. and yet really they don't even have a GTT :(

And Cara.. DMD do a R34 GTT front fender with wider guards.. as they make these themselves i believe i'm sure you could ask without the vents..

Yes they did make "that" guard themselves after they took a mould of my genuine Blitz/URAS guard that I ordered from Japan through them. That guard of yours is just a copy of the Blitz/URAS guard plus the vents.

I was told today that Blits over in QLD are also looking into making wide body fenders for GTT's.

While I don't believe in sticking GTR badges on GTT's but my car came with GTSR badges and I think they're cool :sick:

well my thanks to you then michael.. out of interest.. have you got info on the cost? PM if you want.. cheers

I really don't have any ideas on cost Graig, your best bet would be head over there or give them a call because all the bodykit/panel/eyelids/hoods over at DMD/Monkey seems to be getting cheaper every month. :P

I think Blits already have a widebody fender for the GT-T, the reason I said this is because I saw a purple GT-T going around in brisbane that has a semi-wide bodykit fitted to his car and when I ask him where did he get the kit from he said he got it from Blits Gold Coast.

Okay I have been watching this post as I am going to be doing the same conversion, but with all metal and aluminum fenders. The front is not too bad, need the GTR front fenders, GTR bonnet or if you wann be cheap and try to mod the GT-T bonne tto look like a GTR, GTR front bumper, GTR bonnet hinges and GTR bonnet locking mechanism along with GTR front bumper support bar. That's it for the front, the problem with mounting the front fenders is that when you mount them unlike the GT-T is that the bottom of the fender does not sit flush with the door as the GTR has the long side skirt unlike the GT-T which has the stock quarter piece to the back of the door, so definitely you need the GTR sideskirts. Next thing is that when you use the GTR side skirts the rear of the skirt is tapered out a little to compensate for the wider rear quarter panels so those are needed as well. Once you get the rear quarter panels you will need the rear bumper as the rear bumper is a little wider than the GT-T rear bumper to compensate for the wider rear fenders. Lastly you will need the GTR tailight covers as the cover are also a little wide to fit flush with the wider fenders, or you can simply use some glass to make up the difference with the wider fenders.

So far my collection is just a stock Vspec rear bumper but by month end I should have a stock GTR plastic bumper with all the support bars and then I will be gettign the sideskirts and front fenders, only leaving the rear fenders.

Do you know how much of a gap there is between the tail light cover and rear fenders? Any idea where to source the bonnet hinges etc for the front conversion? How about nissan and their prices? so far all the wide femders ive seen are only 25mm wide. Kind of wonder if its worth while just for that much?

Sweet it's another 34 GTR conversion topic! Quick get out as many posts as possible before more people get on and preach about "incorrectly" badged cars!

What makes the gtr that much more of a looker to warrant the conversion? Is it the wider body? Nope! Wide bodies are good but why not go for something more along the lines of JGTC fenders since you're forking out for it anyway? They're good but they're not the reason to change so many other pieces of your car to complete the puzzle.

Is it the sexy red R on the badge? Nope! Well... maybe but anyone who cares will circumcise your first born son in his sleep and nail your cat to a cross if they catch your GTT with a GTR badge on it. And debadged cars are better anyway (so I'm told) so that can't be it either...

The wing! Actually, that's not it either since you're not in a real GTR so you won't be physically able to go fast enough to generate down force. I'm told wings are gay to. So don't worry someone who shares this view will post up soon enough. As the laws of physics state; 'once a cosmetic related thread containing a strongly biased opinion is in motion, the probability of someone with a similar opinion replying to the post is directly proportional to the probability of them reading it.'

Seriously? I reckon it's where the front bar meets the bonnet. Think about it for a moment.

Now compare to the GTR,

That's it! I believe that little piece of fiberglass is what sets the entire car off. It's why the new lancer or GTR looks hot from the front.

See, both so hot you cold cook a steak with a wallet sized picture of either of them!

I know most of this post is a blatant waste of time and all the pictures are a joke but I'm throwing it out there that the person that does this;

post-53546-1244364851_thumb.jpg

Except does a serious job of it that doesn't look like my horrible paint jpeg, will make a motsa out of tight arses that want the GTR look without the GTR cost. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong... I'm sure you will .

I'm no fisherman but I reckon I'll get a bite out of this post!

    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
