I was searching for skyline stuff on Ebay one night and came across this car...

1998 40th Anniversary Skyline on Ebay

Im really interested in finding a front bar the same as that, original if possible.

I have a 400R kit on my S2 R33 atm but being fibre glass, speed bumps and drive ways are not too kind to it.

Can anyone give me some idea on how and where to get it.

I messaged the seller and he advised me that it is a genuin 40th anniversary kit.

Any ideas on how to go about getting one for my car?

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks in advance gang.

I may be wrong, but I dont think the 40th anniversary edition GTS-T's came with a specific kit, in fact every 40th anniversary edition I have seen has had the factory kit only.

I have not seen that front bar before and I wouldnt think that its a genuine Nissan part either, looks more like a typical a/m fibreglass replacement.

Yeah - check my pic - rancix is the same....

Sorry to dissapoint you - looks like he's full of shit..

Never seen that one before..

They were offered as a factory option vs. the stock S2 bumper..

Also side skirts as well I think (not 100% on that one)..

That one actually looks like a fibreglass bumper not a plastic one as per the stock ones.. "front bar is being replaired"

As for getting one for you car..

You could probably order one from nissan *sAfrican American*.. also need to change where your blinkers are located (they are inclosed in a grey plastic part similar to the GTR ones).. and lose the spotlights..

Thanks for all your replies everyone.

Appreciate the time and effort you all took to post.

Thankyou.

No my only dilema is...

To keep the 400R front and repair the cracks...

Or to try and source a genium plastic front bar.

Are the geniun plastic ones harder to damage or are they pretty much the same as the fibre glass ones.

And if im planning on installing a FMIC, would a geniun one be suitable? i know i might have to cut out some sections of the original ones to fit it.

Would that be better and look cleaner? or stick with the 400R?

I also see that the 400R front is worth about $500 or so. That is another factor of keeping it too.

What do you all think?

The pics bellow show the cracks.

First pic: front view: bottom of the bar: whole bar is split.

Second pic. Crack near top corner near light (1).

Also Gutter scrapes (2)

And pretty much the same on the other side

If money is no problem then here's an option for you.

Speak to tosh, or jo. Tosh is on the forums here SW20GT or something.

East Bear in Japan make a replica GTR front bar for the GTST. It is two piece just like the real thing, and is also plastic!! Not cheap-arse fibreglass, IIRC.

East Bear fit is perfect too. I have one of their bonnets, I put it on without any adjustment or modification. Straight on, perfect fit.

But you'll be paying > $1000 for the GTR-style front bar, unpainted. Looks just like the real thing btw. First time I saw one I asked the guy how the hell he fit a genuine one on there. I was shocked when he said, "it isn't...It's East Bear"

its a s1.5 wil, get it right, lol... mixture of both s1 and 2

Are the geniun plastic ones harder to damage or are they pretty much the same as the fibre glass ones.

ive hit mine on the bottom a few times and on the front (into soft things in the garage) and they mostly just bend then bounce back, doesnt crack at all. but it will still scratch like normal plastic, its just alot more forgiving.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
