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...

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
