east bear kit.

Easy.

Probably just cheaper that $10,000 after its fitted,painted and new wheels bought etc.

DONE. no cutting/welding/aligning etc etc lol

As for gun metal dude hating on posers etc, adding wide body guards is not necessarily trying to copy the GT-R is just looks better that way, it gives the car more angles and what not, its like rolling a turd in glitter... it just looks better.

p.s it would look a lot better than if he was to just buy a body kit without going wide body, almost every kit iv seen has side skirts that stick out like dogs balls and doesn't blend into the overall body shape.

Edited by R34 -_-

i'm not 100% sure but i think the rear track on the GTR is wider, so just bolting on a set of GTR wheels isn't going to quite sit the same as they would on a GTR. you would more than likely need spacers.

in all seriousness though, you are going to be looking at big money to get this done. as i said earlier, there is a lot of work involved, and the more i think about it, the more work it seems. just the paintwork alone will set you back a minimum of $1500 to $2000 and that's if they simply paint the rear quaters and blend it into the other panels (cheapest way to do it with the result being that it will be reasonably obvious that it has been resprayed). i'd say that the actual cutting of the guards and fitting the new ones will be another few thousand as well. the more i think about it the more i'm starting to think the price would be closer to 10k.

if it was me doing it, i'd simply sell the car and buy a GTR. sure the cost might be a bit higher, but then you don't have the stuffing around and the chance that it could turn out looking like crap if 1 of the guards isn't put on straight, or if the panel bows a bit when it is welded.

hey another question, does anyone know if the axles on a gtr are longer than a gtt, like from hub to hub?

just say i wanted to put a set of black gtr wheels after the panels r on, would they sit the same or would i need spacers??

if so i guess that $6000 comes down to sumwere around the $2000 mark aye GUN_METAL_GTR32

not really mate, i bought brand new 19insh vs-kf from japan and they cost 4200 + freight then pirelli corsa tyres for 600ish each so yeah i reckon my "quote" for the rims was pretty accurate.

gtr rims on a gtt sit nearly flush so if u add gtr guards probably add another couple of inches.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
