ok so ive talked to a few people adn they say if you want to put a gtr front bumper on a gtst you have to buy new fenders and hood, that the lights are the same. they said there will be a little bit of a gap on between where the gtr bumper and the headlight. does anyone know if this will work. i have a gtr bumper sittin in my garage but wont fit on my gtst without modification. i live in the us so its hard to find parts and stuff

You can get a specialist plastic welder to do the job to make it fit, but otherwise it's a job that will need the guards. Then you need wheels to fill the guards or it looks poxy.

I have one I wanted on my GTS25t track car, but I'll keep it for the GTR instead.

guards aka front fenders... (metal part above front wheels)

I think someone should make a guide/sticky for this topic.. seems to be pretty common and popular.. (i'd like to know as well)

and all you haters out there that are going to jump on the bandwagon of "buy a real GTR" who cares lol.. GTR factory kits look awesome.. and theres no good looking R32 kits out there

From what I know, if you want to fit a genuine gtr bar to your gtst, you'll need the gtr guards and indicators for the bumper to fit properly. Chances are, you'll probably need a gtr reinforcement bar also. I don't think that you'll need to change your bonnet in any way for your bumper to fit.

thanks, yeah i got the bumper and lip free when i bought the car. tried to fit it and it was a no go. i dont know why i would need the hood. but i heard i need the fenders which makes sense since its a wider car. whats the bar? sorry we use different terms over here in the us. like guards i know as fenders. is the bar just the piece right below the lights that the bumper kinda sits on

yeah you've got to change the guards on the r33, as geoff stated then you'll need wider offset wheels to make it look the goods, then you'll probably want to do something about the rear as it will look dicky if it isn't wide, and having a wider offset front than rear sounds dodgy imo lol..

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
