Ok browsed the forum bout finding an actual organisation or individual that sells a r32 gtr grille

Im actually in Sydney NSW Australia

And Thought by now someone would be reproducing them by the mass with the amount of demand from the gtst boy's wanting to get rid of that ugly flat front, (reminds me so much of the gsl mistubishi cordiain appose to the gsr)

So here goes??

Is there a relyable source inwhich i could obtain a gtr grille from once i purchase my r32 skyline gtst??

Dont mind freight!!

Ok two places to source one from that i know of:

1. Advan Performance @ Silverwater - $170 approx

2. Lincorp @ Camellia (Rosehill) 9638 7193 - $300

The Advan one isnt an original and you'll have to drill two small holes at the back of the grill to tie it to the grill mounts. Delivery time is bloody huge too cos its gotta come from NZ and trust me they're in no hurry to order it for you anyway (mine took 10weeks). However the final product is good.

Lincorp on the other hand sell orginal ones with built in mounting holes... but are almost twice the price

I bought the Advan one...

mr rb20

im actually in the process of buying one hopefully as soon as i sell my car...

just wanted to sus of the grill situation!!!

hopefully i buy one already chopped up and grilled

if not ill have to get rid of the front lip myself with the jigsaw!! :D

hate the gtst front end!! :D

Yeah i dont like the GTST front end much either...

As you can see from my pic under my name i dont have my bonnet on yet... hehe.... as for cutting the lip off yourself, i dont recommend it - the bonnet has layers and as my panel beater said when i asked him for a quote to cut it "it would be a head-f#ck and around $900 including a respray".

GTR bonnets go cheaply and frequently on this site. More often than not they are gunmetal grey for $500-$700. Buy the real thing or go carbon fibre.

You'll need to take out the GTST latch and replace with GTR one around $100 from wrecker...Hope this helps

Oh it can be done but there are two layers that need to be welded together once its cut.

But probably the most difficult part is following the gradual arc of the shape of the nose on the R32 when cutting the lip off.... id hate to have the responsibility of doing it...

this guy on SDU managed to do it however...

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
