you can actually get the genuine item from nissan,

but they dont fit a gtst (they obviously dont have flared guards)

so i think a body kit shop would have to be contacted.

Or keep a close eye on the classifieds and wait till one pops up, and they usually do

it just doesnt stick around for that long!!

So the front quarter panels on a Gtr a wider then a gtst as well? I only thought GTR rear guards were wider

Yep...the GTR front fender is wider...as well as the rear...but u can pick up GTR front fender off ppl on this forum...i seen ones for around $400 each side...ull also need the front grill and also the GTR bonnet whether be modded GTST bonnet or genuine (light as) and ull also need to either mod the existing bonnet latch or go GTR item

Master bo bo - that's great, thanks. My last fibreglass bar didn't fit up too well anyhow (maybe a .5 to 1 cm gap)!

Yes, both the front and rear guards are pumped on a GTR (or slimmed on a GTS depends on your perspective!). FYI the front guards on a GTR are aluminium as well making them lighter - though the GTS guards are not 'heavy'.

mmmm....... all very helpfull. seems like it could cost alot of money to have GTR front bar. Is there places that make aftermarket GTR front bars that will fit on GTST? Does anyone else know anywhere that may sell something like this?

Here's photos of my shitter with genuine GTR bar. You also need to cut the reo or get a GTR reo to fit the bar as the "mouth" is much bigger than the GTS-t bar.

I can take some better ones if people want. They're not too hard to fit though, so if you've got one lying around, throw it on :)

The reo is the reinforcement bar behind the front bar. What gaps are you talking about? There aren't really any on there now that strike me as obvious.

Bonnet and grill have nothing to do with the sideskirts... If you get GTR guards, you need GTR indicators too GTS-t indicators dont line up with the GTR guards. With the bonnet you also need the GTR bonnet catch as the latch is in a different spot on the bonnet.

Will try and get some better pics tomorrow. Any particular angles you want?

Well thats a shit load better than the copy one i had!

Plus i have the grill and the GTR bonnet to so i think im gonna be happy!

All the fibreglass copies I've seen have been crap. They're made to suit GTS-t, but dont fit! What's the point of having the copy then!?

Cant go wrong with genuine :worship:

If you dont want the GTR bonnet and grill and want to let them go real cheap, let me know :P

The gap i was talking bout was that someone mentioned earlier in the thread about there gtr front bar having gaps when fitted to there gtst. Yeah about them side skirts...... i dont even know why i wrote side skirts..... too long at work i think, anyway, what i want to know is if you can have gtr bonnet, grill and front bar on gtst and not have to swap to gtr front guards as well???

Yes, nothing wrong with that, will work. Bar will just look like it does on my car (not perfect fit).

There was a gap on my drivers side between the guard and the top of the bar, about 20mm. Fixed it by using a bolt with some big washers instead of cable ties. Has pulled the whole bar up nicely so no unsightly gaps there :wave:

Everywhere else is just held on by cable ties... :wave: Bit lazy, haha

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
