^^ 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"...

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.

$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

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
