hah, i bought a GTR bar cheap a few days ago with the idea of doing this as i have just installed a fmic.. it appears to line up fine, however id say it needs the GTR crash support as the GTST one does not line up at all, and no amount of hacking/cutting looks like it will make it.. i drive a 33 however, im not sure if its the same for a 32. on a side note im thinking of keeping the stocker front bar over the GTR bar cus in my oppinion you just cant beat that sleeper look :P

pics anyone thinking of doing this on a 4 door

Got a mate with Vertex kit on his four door, and GTR front bar... will get pics, can be done. Was thinking of doing on mine, but genuine GTR bar too much compared to my Vertex one.

does any one know of anywere to pic up cheap fibreglass copys

define cheap..

they can be had for about $400-450 brand new from:

www.carmate.com.au

www.jetspeed.com.au

www.justjap.com.au

i am also itnerested in putting a GTR bar on my car, but despite seeing that pic i'm still not convinvced. I have psoken to a person who bought a GTR bar for their R32 and it simply didn't fit at all.

Maybe its possible to get the stock plastic one modified (ie a bit of plastic removed to reduce the width) so that it fits properly?

cheers,

Warren.

^^ what he said...

also if you use a genuine GTR bar, if you use a genuine GTR bumper support (ie reo) you won't have to bend anything in the front, just the sides so they meet up witht he guards. The most common thing you see with R32 GTR bumpers on GTSt's is the 1cm or so gap under the headlights where the bumper bends.

You can avoid that by using a genuine GTR bumper support.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
