R34 Gtr Front End On Gtt

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

hi guys.

im about to do the r34 gtr front end on my car, now ive got the guards and ill have the front bar soon, what i wanna know is if i HAVE to change the bonnet....

i fkn absolutely luv my carbon bonnet (top secret) and cant find a reasonably priced r34 gtr one. now i believe there will be a slight gap where the mole thing would go yeah but other than that the lines will all be right yeah.

thanks

i think (but i dont know) that the Gtr bonnet is just a bit longer than the gt one, so in your case i think there'll be a gap between the gtr nose cone and your top secret gt bonnet. i think its the same width though

But u might wanna get a more knowledgable person to verify

im pretty sure that the only difference is the gtr bonnet kinda goes a lil more forward in the nose bit (like u said) its a direct bolt on, i just wanna know if there will be a massive gap or i should just get a gtr bonnet with the lil mole/lip thing on the front bit... but my bonnet was pretty exp so if i can get away with it i would do so... otherwise its another 2.5k for another top secret bonnet...

Isn't the GTR bonnet shorter? So your bonnet will then overlap the front bumper. Gap will only happen if you have a GTR bonnet with your stock front bar. GTR bonnet means GTR hinges and GTR vertical support with bonnet latch.

The gtr bonnet has a big gap missing in the front of it for a reason.

Try closing the gtt bonnet on a gtr bumper, good luck.

Do I need to say more??? chop the bumper and you'll be fine, don't listen to the people that are saying It'll be ok - its physically impossible with out cutting the top of the front bumper. Unless the top of the gtr bumper sits forward more than the GTT one then yes, you would be fine.. but i doubt it

Above comment is correct. Gtt bonnet has the bit between the headlights as part of it, and the bumper is lower and meets this line. Whereas the gtr one stops more or less flush with the lights, and the gtr bumper has a higher part to it that fills in nicely. Also gtr gaurds mount approx 20-25mm higher in the engine bay, so I'm uncertain if this will clear a factory gtt bonnets "skeleton". I havn't tried putting a gtt bonnet on with my gtr gaurds. So you could trim bumper to suit your current bonnet, or trim bonnet to suit bumper. If you do swap to a gtr bonnet, the hinges either need replaced with gtr items, or slightly modify the gtt ones to work. Again with bonnet catch, needs replaced or modified to work with gtr bonnet. Or use bonnet pins. I don't know the legalities of doing this over there in auz. I know it's not a problem here in nz. Good luck

ok so if i get

gtr guards

gtr bumper

gtr bonnet and the hynges (wont change latch as ill use pins like i have now)

then it will all be sweet right.

i was speaking to the bloke that runs project mu and he said that the guards wont fit coz the lights are different to a gtr, im pretty sure that is untrue yeah....

[john-e boi]

Guards will fit fine Julz. Guards, bumper, bonnet, hinges that's its if you are going to use bonnet pins. Reinforcement bar will need to adjusted to fit the front bar though. Reinforcement bar bolts loosen and bar adjusted as high up to the headlights as possible.

I'm chasing a quality bonnet *hint hint Julz* Any pics? Genuine? Full carbon? PM details and price if you're going to go through with the GTR front

From memory when I did my gtr conversion, spacer/bracket things had to be made up to fit the front guards. This was a few years ago though so can't fully remember. I think something to do with the way the guards bolted on around the strut tower area. Still used the GT headlights and they fit although it did look like there might be an ever so slight difference between GTR and GT headlights, nothing at all major though and wont stop things lining up.

i dont know if this helps. i bought mine already converted. From my understanding the only things changed were the bonnet, front bumper, hinges, and im unsure but i presume the bonnet latch catch was changed too. the lights on mine are exenon and i believe the gtt not gtr lights, there is a small gap between lights and front gaurd barely noticable as the bumper has been pulled in to attatch to the gtt gaurds. i think if you changed to gtr gaurds this gap would not be there as the gaurd is flared.
