hi guys. I'm looking for a new front bar for my R34 GTT, thats cause i wana istall a new front mount. my current bar is almost all enclosed thats why i think that installing a new front mount with the current front bar wouldn't be a good idea, cause there wouldn't enough air going through. What do you think? Does it realy matter cause i realy like my front bar? and if i have to get 1 what's the best choice in your opinion? A photo of my car has been attached with the current front bar on it

if i t was up to me i would cut out the bar crossmember (part right in the middle and fibreglass it up. leave the whole front open and just get some mesh for the time being til you put your front mount on.

with ur number plate get a bracket and side mount it nexto either or your indicators or in front of the small side vents on the bar. the bar looks good.

modding the bar might cost like 300 to glass and re-spray and that but would be better for you coz dont need to change front bar

plus will make the bar look more aggressive

Well its somtimes hard to fiberglass to oem plastic bumpers and get a good bond. Best get ahold of somebody who can plastic weld then go from there.

As for your bumper support you can cut alot out of it . It wont be as strong but you cant modify a car without risking a few boundries.

You bought your car from Japlink like me :D ? Looks like the Japlink yard in your photos.

My car has the exact same kit, but a different rear bar.

Front bar is the same, from the replies in this post it looks like it will take a little bit more than trimming the reo to fit a FMIC to the nissan sports frontbar? I'm planning on buying the just jap intercooler kit.

It's a stock wing it came from Nissan with the body kit and I dnt mind it. Trust me man a lot ppl thought same as you but then changed their mind when I took it off

Did the 7 gaping screwholes left in the rear quarter panels have anything to do with it :D ?

I'm going to take off the corner parts of my wing & just leave the middle peice, just have to organise the time & money to get it done.

Yeah u right mate i did get it from Japlink motors. BTW trust me the holes had nothing to do with it I just like it the way it is you know. It's an original bar plus it doesn't look good without it.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
