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..

    • Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.
    • I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators. 
    • At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
    • Cheers man, I thought the same.   Bit of an update on it all. It was definitely blue smoke, not grey after all. It didn't really smell oily but it was blue after all. Also puffing just the smallest amount on idle with no throttle.   I ended up pulling the intake and exhaust off and there was around 3mm of axial play on the turbo shaft. So I figured we'll that's buggered and sent it off to get hi-flowed at hypergear. Haven't got it back yet.   I haven't compression tested it yet. Had a look in the cylinder and cylinder 1 spark plug, looked a bit sooty but not oily. Then I've just started doing my timing belt because it's age is unknown.
    • In that case it is probably stock. It lives in the navigator side footwell behind the plastic trim just in front of the a pillar.
