ben_harmer32 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) So after selling my Fast and Furious replica i have bought myself an R34 R34 GTT with 58k on the clock. Thought i would start a thread even know this is a Supra site as i don't want to leave! lol Currently having a load of work done so will keep this updated as it progresses. Pictures attached are how it looks now. I'm not a fan of the bonnet, front wings or skirts. So it is currently having the following carried out: Engine refresh: - Water pump - cam belt - Aux belts - spark plugs - oil and filter change - N1 oil pump body work: - R34 GTT to GTR Z-tune body kit (bumper, wings, skirts, rear bumper, GTR style rear quarters, light pods) - standard GTT bonnet - Full underseal - Full windows out paint job in original colour Future plans: Wheels, coilovers and who knows!

Looking forward to the updates It’s going to be a good project car hopefully. very nice. How much do these GTT's go for these days? Seems to vary. Prices are going mad just like Supra!!

chazuk Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) and bay is painted Looking good looking at your engine refresh I would defiantly add coil packs especially if you plan to go "bpu" I've had a rb25det so has my gf the stock coil packs needed changing its very common defiantly go splitfires nengun do good prices, also I can not recommend highly enough a place called bells auto services in Ropley aka RSP he unlocked the stock ecu years ago and has run 800hp on a stock ecu and yet drives like stock uses all the factory sensors etc no need for wiring harness etc! one of his stage 1 ecu's fitted and run up on the dyno is around £270 removes the fuel cut +more fuel and timing adjustment then if you go more power in the future you pay him to unlock the ecu and keep remapping it.

j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Was thinking about doing a similar project myself at some point, but how do you replicate the GTR rear wings to a decent standard? (ie, without loads of fibreglass and filler) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ie, without loads of fibreglass and filler) Both of ours where bonded +pop riveted on then fibre glassed over and filler never cracked or sunk , the only other way is to buy a set of gtr steel rear quarters slightly easier to find for a r33 but r34gtr ones will be like rocking horse someone in japan did a wide arch just using sheet metal and made it himself but you need skills In fact scrap that this is defiantly the way forward http://garage-d.com/online-store/interior-exterior/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-rear-quarter-panels.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thats more like it think I might buy a set of those and put them away, even if i don't end up doing a car it is likely they will get discontinued and be worth a fortune in a few years.

ben_harmer32 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Looking good looking at your engine refresh I would defiantly add coil packs especially if you plan to go "bpu" I've had a rb25det so has my gf the stock coil packs needed changing its very common defiantly go splitfires nengun do good prices, also I can not recommend highly enough a place called bells auto services in Ropley aka RSP he unlocked the stock ecu years ago and has run 800hp on a stock ecu and yet drives like stock uses all the factory sensors etc no need for wiring harness etc! one of his stage 1 ecu's fitted and run up on the dyno is around £270 removes the fuel cut +more fuel and timing adjustment then if you go more power in the future you pay him to unlock the ecu and keep remapping it. Thank you, I’ve already been looking at splitfires. I had an R33 years ago (turn’s out I’m still South East Area rep on the Owners Club! Lol) had to change coilpacks on that. My ECU has a niztune chip in it which has been deactivated. Once I add the extra mods I want I’m going to get it mapped Was thinking about doing a similar project myself at some point, but how do you replicate the GTR rear wings to a decent standard? (ie, without loads of fibreglass and filler) The one’s I have are fiberglass which glue and rivet on and then the body work is smoothed. Both of ours where bonded +pop riveted on then fibre glassed over and filler never cracked or sunk , the only other way is to buy a set of gtr steel rear quarters slightly easier to find for a r33 but r34gtr ones will be like rocking horse someone in japan did a wide arch just using sheet metal and made it himself but you need skills In fact scrap that this is defiantly the way forward http://garage-d.com/online-store/interior-exterior/nissan-skyline-r34-gtr-rear-quarter-panels.html They are lovely but a lot of money! Get a move on mate, these updates are taking forever Hahahaha! They don’t work weekends. It’s been killing me I'm nothing if not patient! Best of luck with the project anyway Ben.
