Hello there i got a R34 gtt which is basically looking to stock for me . i looked at carmate.com and found this sweet ass looking front bar which is for the GTR. what i wana know is will it be a perfect fit to a GTT? i know ill probably have to find a gtr style bonnet in order for the bar to fit nicely but iam just unsure if the bar will fit onto the car.would you say i need to get wider fenders as well?

pleaase anyone who has done this conversion or got any info iam all ears cheers.

If it's for a GT-R, it won't be a perfect fit as GT-R's have wider guards than GT-T's.

In saying that, if you really like the bar you can have it modified at any bodyshop who can work fibreglass.

I have a GT-R front bar on my 32 but I have a little experience with fibreglass and I modified it to suit.

If you have the will though, there is always a way.

Good luck on what you decide man.

only what i got atm,

ive readjusted it since and the gap to the bonnet has been reduced quite a bit.

Just like what they did in Fast & Furious 4...put OEM GTR front bar, sideskirts, wing and rear bar on a R34 GTT for the movie - it was actually a GTT as most of us probably know. However, it's the OEM stuff that makes it look tough.

Actually they used an east bear masterpiece body kit on a GTT with GTR badges etc for the movie.

carmate = fail

carmate + fibreglass frontbar = EPIC fail.

Your choice. I wouldn't put a fibreglass frontbar on as they're too brittle ..it will crack first time you hit one of those parking bumps.

that's bs.. i got a fiberglass do-luck front bar on mine.. it's low as and i bump parking blocks (on occasion) and it also hits speed bumps (although i go over slowly... very slowly lol) and it just scrapes.. fiberglass doesnt just crack when it hits something.. unless you drive into it at speed. they have some give and i even hit my driveway coming in and going out (sometimes) and all it does is scrape, they still have movement in them..

and if you get any cracks in the bar (they are usually small and confined).. you can take them to get patched up fairly easy..

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
