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.

the 40th anniversary did come with a different front bar, looks like a anorexic gtr front bar...

couple people have them on here, Links i think does and also racnix..

(i personally prefer the original S2 bar)

but the one in that pic looks after market

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..

Some of the 40th anniversary models did come out with this kit. You can buy a front bar from unique autosports for $550.00 less indicators.they are $190. each. here are the links.

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.

all East Bear Sports prices have been revised on our website... email me for further enquiries... discounts are offered at point of sale

Cheers,

Tosh

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
