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.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
