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..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
