hey

wonder if anyone could shed some light on this

i was gonna get a gtr front bar on my gtst r32

the gtr bar would b aftermarket that would fit a gtst but would the brackets on the inside need to b changed coz of the different shape or would it bolt on in the existing places?

if anyone has done anything similar or knows sum1 who has let me know how it went .

cheers

ps while where on the topic, how hard would it b to fil a r33 gtr bar on a r32

i think we've all seen it done but with how much difficulty?

thanks

I was thinking about doin' this too, but with a R32 GTR bar for my GTS4.

Cos I need room for a intercooler but the standard one on now doesn't have a intake hole big enough for a core size around 600x300x80. Besides the bar isn't very well attatched, quite flimsy I might say.

I have a genuine GTR front bumper on my GTSt. How do i know? Well its a nissan stamped, PLASTIC bumper in the original 2 piece configuration that came on the GTR only. I also have the aluminium bonnet :P

It does fit well, and by the looks of things it doesnt look too difficult to do. The guards might be wider on the GTR, except they start and finish in the same place... they just bulge out more along the way.

A mechanic friend of mine whos had his R32 GTSt for years didnt think the original GTR bumpers fitted either until he saw mine.

Red17

I believe the GTR bars are roughly a couple of cm's wider either side. I have a gtr copy bar sitting @ home which i was going to put on my gts-t, but haven't yet.

I don't believe it is a major job. However i've seen a gts-t with a gtr front that fitted well one side, but had about a 5cm gap on the other side.

The way i see it is the guards on both cars must come back to roughly the same point in regards to the join of bar & guard.

You may be able to just bend/cut back etc the bar into the brackets or you may need to cut out a section in the middle and fibreglass/plastic weld it back together.

I would like to know 4 sure myself....

a friend of mine resparyed a gtst purple

and he had all genuine gtr front bar and quarters and bonnet, which in turn he had to change blinkers and bonnet latch.

i would like to c what the support behing the gtr's front bar looks like, from just looking at each of the bars it looks like the support of the gtst sticks out to much and that it would have to b cut or removed to put a gtr front on.

anyone seen the support b4 on either a gtr or gtst with gtr bar?

Be sure to buy an original GTR bar, ie plastic NOT FIBREGLASS.

The plastic can bend and be made to fit a lot easier then the stiff fibreglass can.

My GTR bar was made for a GTSt, or so wac the claim, and went nowhere near like fitting. Trust me and several people including a reputable body shop said too hard (ie too expensive)

So moral of my tale, original Plastic bar fits easier, wont crack when rubbing speed humps, or get an exchange/money back guarantee that the GTR come GTSt fibregalss bar will fit your car.

i just purchased the 2nd hand gtr front bar for my gtst, it is fibreglass unfortunatly. althought for $80 i think its a bargan.

i know for sure it will fit on a gtst coz thats what car it was on when i bought it. its made in japan, sum JBO brand, seems a lil thin, but will do seem like it will fit except for those rectangle holes on either side of the no. plate (dont know if they got a name). 1 bad thing bout the bar is that its cracked in several places but is easily fixed. i was quoted round $400 for everything to b done, cracks, painted, fitted, and a lil damage to my car bcoz of a lil bump. to me this price seems fair, if anyone thinks not let me know so i dont step in anything.

I have a genuine GTR front bar on my 32 GTST and the fit isn't snug but it is the toughest bar ever! Plastic takes a hell of a beating on anything the concrete decides to throw at it -cept wildlife....My only complaint is the plastic lip doesn't hold up against curbs or speedbumps or steep driveways! Be warned as i think replacement genuine lips aren't cheap (who am i kidding...what Skyline stuff is????)

PS: The genuine bars make the GTST look a little wider from front views...very tough and cool!

The plastic original gtr bars will fit straight onto the gtst's. You just have to attach the bar at the corners(ie blinkers) and then affix the bar from there. I have an original vspec2 gtr bar on mine. everybody and there dog said it would not fit. It would need so much modifiying it would not be funny, so, i gave it a go, and wallah.. fits like a glove with nmo mods.. i wonder where they go the idea from?

The bar sits natural with the gaurds. Sits level, doesnt bow out of shpe of the gaurds, sits level with the headlights.. Just like a bought one for the gtst. The bar is back of it again ready to be painted, and my cooler fitted. Thats why i bought the bar in the first place. I bought the bar of a user on this forum, who has a skyline too. I dotn have a digi cam.. but when i get access and the bar is on, i will take pics and post em up.

I've got an original gtr bar on my 32gtst and it fits nicely all I had to do was cut two slits in the bumper support and fold back the metal where the number plate notch is to stop the bar from sticking out. This is the only mod required. Trust me it has to be done.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
