^^ 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.

By "bumper support" your talking about the actual metal bumper or re-bar right?

Not to hijack this thread(and funky + 2 G U UP are right,by the way!),where is the best place to look for NEW Nissan body bits(R32 GT-R,if it matters)? Japan? Or does someone reputable bring in/order in stuff here? My car is dead straight,but a project looms...

Four months ago I bought a new R32 GTR bar from Mr Nissan for $519.00

Front bar vents are around $200 each. Yes, each. :P

Nismo sideskirts (the 1/3 OEM) are just over $400 each. Yes, each. :)

Suddenly fibreglass bits sounded a lot more appealing.

That's not as shocking as I expected...

Mr Nissan as in the USA fella,not Nissan Oz,yes? I've got a V Spec' II 32,so the front bar has the extra vents etc...I'd assume Nissan Oz,not bringing this model in,wouldn't want to have anything to do with it. Has anyone found a Nissan dealer in Oz that'll get new bits from Japan for their import that isn't a locally bought in model?

And,back on thread,most GTS-T's seem to have that dreaded gap on the sides,but I've seen the things fitted successfully,so it can be done...Once again,listen to funkymonkey and 2GU UP-they're onto it re:that GTR bumper support. :P

Yes Nissan OZ

They all can get import stuff now.

Oh and Nissan Oz not bringing this model in... bollocks. My build plate says "Nissan Australia Motor Company"...

they can both help you.

At double the life, flexibility, lack of cracking, lack of getting stress cracks.. and I *think* the nissan genuine's come pre-painted in your cars colour (not exactly sure on that though).. I'd pay double for plastic. I had fibreglass front bar(s) on my old car, and no end of destroyings for 2 bars.

Never mind asking a real panel beater what they think of the quality and the stuffing around to fit the fibreglass units. Many of them don't even come out of the mould properly..with heaps of small imperfections which need to be tidied up before fitting.

My current factory plastic bar has quite a few scrapes, but that would have been well destroyed by now if it was fibre.

Thankyou sir! You've been a huge help,seriously!

And to those that endevour to get said GT-R bar fitted to their GTS',good luck-it sounds and appears quite doable!

$519.00 for a front bar is unpainted and not primed. That price was after a lot of haggling and the painter using a few favours. Nissan first stated the retail was just over $700 for the genuine bar.

I agree with you re: cracking etc. which is why I bought a plastic OEM front bar. I am happy with fibreglass Nismo skirts, vents and rear lip though because they'll never flex. The skirts, possibly, but no dramas so far and they're only small.

The cost for fibreglass was around $500 for those three components yet it would have been around $1600 from Nissan for plastic.

Personal preference of course, but I saved where I thought I could.

Cheers Gordon,

Mark

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
