Just bare in mind when it comes to fibreglass bars you usually get what you pay for.

A lot of cheapo bars require a lot of work to get them up to scratch and ready for fitting and painting and quite often the extra expense of doing this adds up to more than it would have cost you to pay that little bit more for a good quality strong bar in the first place

well your options are as follows:

1 - get a new fibreglass bar from justjap/carmate/jetspeed for $500

2 - get a new original bar from nissan for $1000

3 - find a secondhand original GTR bar on SAU for around $300

4 - find a secondhand fibreglass bar on SAU for like $200

i think option 3 is the best option. original plastic GTR bars fit the GTSt no worries. you take a risk with any second-hand fibreglass bumper

if you max price range is $400 then you haven't got many options. keep in mind that you will have to get it painted and that might cost around $200 also..

good luck,

what is your opinion of the quality of the copies that just jap do for gtst's?

I am thinking of getting one of them for my car but want to make sure it will look the goods!...Think they are about 500ish.

Ryan, I have the bar from Just Jap on my R32 - Heres a pic

My painter was impressed with the quality of the bar and its raw finish - Its very sturdy, not like some of the flimsy fibreglass shit I have seen around.

hmmm looks good mate *blitz*, i would like to know where i could get a plastic one from then, would it mount using std reo? or need gtr reo? ive rang a few wreakers and most dont wana sell em, heavin forbid a wrecker should sell some skyline parts i mean jeez. anyways ive anyone knows of a plastic original bar then sounds like its the go, i realy want the gtr bar not just for looks but the mouth is much bigger then mine, with my cooler im loosin bout 3-4inches behind the bumper reo! not gettin airflow.

The factory BNR32 plastic bar is the best option, no doubt - The problem is finding one at the right price. They pop up occasionally on SAU but are usually snapped up very quickly and they can still fetch pretty decent money.

this is what the front looks like, kinda dodgy phone camera photos in lil light, i want a gtr bar! cause the full cooler goes right up past the number plate .

yeah my stock bar was hacked with my stock bumper

but when i put on an original GTR bumper, no cutting at all was required

they can be had for cheap, i paid $250 for mine but snapped it up the day it was advertised...

and as for the reo, cutting depends on if the bumper has the N1 holes or not. if yes, then reo cutting or finding a GTR reo is a must

cheers,

yo man how much more airflow do u estimate you gained, as in b4 and after how much more face of the cooler could u see? just a rough idea

[WazR32GTSt]

not much more... if you've hacked your stock bar nicely (read: a lot) like i did then it had lots of flow anyway

i did it mainly for looks..

[OLik]

you can getaway with a un-hacked front bar from a gtst type m front bar. if you are getting the GTR bar i think you will need the reinforcement bar behind it..

[dead32]

well what type of bar is on mine? not a type m?

Yours is the standard bar, Type-M is squarer. i.e. doesn't tuck in at the bottom
