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

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
