Hi,

The guards are wider, so the front bar will probably need some work to get it to fit, ive seen GTR bonnets go on GTST's without issue though

If you're in Sydney, i have a bonnet going very cheap if you havnt already found one

The bonnet fits, just need the gtr bonnet latch for the front (and the grill if you want).

The side skirts will need work too, as the gtr rear and front guards are wider. Just put the gtst side skirts on, they look better anyway IMHO.

The front bar fits but not perfectly, many people on these forums have done this. The big plus from using a genuine GTR front bar (as opposed to a fibreglass GTR copy designed fot GTSt) is that it is made from plastic and therefore a million times stronger.

who has a picture of GTR skirts?

Because of have normal type m skirts on my GTST, and I have seen GTR's with a sort of mudflappy looking thing added on top.. wouldn't mind getting one...

I'm trying to work out if all GTR's have this, or just some

The mudflap thing you're talking about is probably the Nismo rear skirt. Option from Mr Nissan, standard on the Nismo edition GTRs.

You can buy them but it'd be a little tricky to fit to your rear skirt Rylan, cause the GTR rear quarters are fatter.

MR Nissan? im not familiar with any place to get these parts from. Im from sydney..st george area. Any got any suggestions? i need a bonnet 100%, and gtr front bar and grille.

thanks for ur suggestions guys!! much appreciated!!

For reference, new GTR front bars are available from Mr Nissan for around $400-$500, depending on your mates rates.

Might be worth a look if you're paying $300 for fibreglass

Yep. You'd be best off to join the SAU NSW club (hint, hint) so you can receive trade/club discounts and you'll also know who to talk to at which Nissan. Otherwise, you'll no doubt have some older guy who wants your VIN and then tells you that VIN doesn't exist and you can't have parts, then tell you the Skyline parts aren't made anymore, etc.

Talk to the right guy and you'll have a genuine front bar in two weeks.

Oh yeah, 180_mph touched on a good point, you'll need a GTR front reinforcement bar or you'll have to cut up your GTSt one. I'd go to a wreckers or SAU for sale to find a used front reo bar.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
